Ok so I feel the need to join on the new tau bandwagon after not playing 40k for a bit, so here is my attemt on an ovessa bomb for a tournie I have next month.

Ok so before anyone says I do love my skyrays possibly a little to much but with all these bikes the marine codex players are using I feel skyrays are better than ever I have no problem unloading all 24 missiles 1st turn then having some decent marker light platforms for the rest of the game.

Im quite new to the whole O'Vessa bomb concept and am probably doing it wrong but my riptide with the IA and talisman will join the buffmander and O'Vessa for some pieplateing wound shenanigans goodness ive only opted for 1 additional riptide as unsupported riptides suck imho. Farsight drops with the fusion gun team and kills stuff hopefully.

Nothing? Not even some riptide hate. :(

boo riptide spam, shame on you!

Thank you!

The thing is that the O'Vesa bomb has been done to death. There's not much comment wise because, well, there's nothing that hasn't been said before. It's O'Vesa bomb. It'll probably work out well for you.

Riptides are lame

I hate your list, i'm never playing Tau ever ever ever again. This is even worse than the list I had to play against More Skyrays?

And when/how did you get ticket for tournament?

Your lame

Shaun might be giving me his if I can get day off.

More skyrays is more win broadsides die to easy.

*You're

More skyways probably is more win, because lone Riptide is ok, but easy target and Skyrays can just fire all missiles first turn and then aren't priority,

But personally I think you should stick with the Chaos list, possessed and spawn for the win!
