A lot of people point out the Flying Hive Tyrant. I don't see why. A Riptide with max upgrades including Skyfire (but not drones because 1 model only) will kill it easily.

Because Flyrants... fly. Hard to Hit is a very good rule.
And don't forget Jink against Riptide attacks.

I'm waiting for the magical markerlight response

Well, I hope it doesn't come out, because then we'd be using more than 1 model!

I know, but when it comes to Tau hate there never seems to have much logic behind it

A brand new Decurion Barge Lord.

Catacomb Command Barge + Voidreaper + Resurrection Orb + Phase Shifter + Phylactery + Mindshackle Scarabs + Tachyon Arrow

3+/4++/4+++ (re-roll 1s and single use complete re-roll)/5++++ IWND (the 3+ armour doesn't matter, since everything it fight in this context is going to be AP2 anyway)

Fear on 3d6

Single use S10 AP1 shot

Fleshbane, and Master Crafted

Shooting beforehand, plus HoW, and ignores Shaken and Stunned, and the barge gets to regain 1 hull point per turn on a 5+ and another hull point per turn on a 6+.

I bet the Lord would beat the Smashfether with contemptuous ease. Someone do a batrep for us!

Actually, a foot Overlord or Destroyer Lord might do better, because then the Barge can't get blown up and the Lord is much tougher.

The driver can actually get a 2+ armor save.

Not everyone looked at Mechanicum stuff... I did once and couldn't understand half of it. And it's 30k, so people generaly don't count it in such listings.

Didn't you put something without EW? That usually is a death knell in model PvP world.

An imperial guardsman. His balls are made of a metal so dense that in death they super nova and create two deathstrike missle level explosions.

Killing the conscripts around him. Though I will say, for points, Guard vets are baller.

shhhhh with you logic. don't you know the emporer protects? He would shield them all with his saving grace... obviously.

but even if he didn't they all have their own set of balls resulting in a massive chain reaction. Plus... as we all know there are more conscripts where that came from.

Speaking of which, given our grimdark setting, why aren't there more viable suicide units in 40k?

Stop with the swearing. Users who have an edit in their post actively added that in, which is against the rules of dakka. If I see any of you with a swear in your post again, you're going to get a warning

**skarnalaxwarlord**

For Chaos, there's always the good 'ol Juggernaut Lord. T5, 4 Attacks base, 4W, he's calvary, and he's got a S6 Ap2 Daemon Weapon. Another viable option would be the Black Mace DP with the MoS for Rending and all the speed buffs he gets.

On the other hand, that's assuming neither of them rolled that 1 on their Daemon Weapon
