A Warhound Titan gets four times the Str D shots per turn, so unless the KX-139 gets within melta range the good ol' 'Hound will probably win.

As a side-note, why would the KX-139 get FNP? It doesn't have it anywhere on its datasheet.

It has the Gargantuan Creature special rule. GCs all get FNP. While the datasheet lists some of the rules GCs get, it's not a complete list, but the core rulebook still grants GCs FNP and the datasheet does not contradict that. People arguing it doesn't get FNP are trying to ruleslawyer a nerf into existence.

Come to think of it, Corpsethief Claw and allied Farseers rolling for Invisibility might do it.

Farseer Skyrunner 115
Windriders 51
Scatterpack 81

Corpsethief Claw w/ Ichor Injectors 650

You best get Invisibility with your Farseer though, or else you can say bye bye to your deathstar with one swift D to the face.

Demon prince with the black mace. even with stomps, the thing isnt that good in melle

How my Kreigers would take it on...

4x DKoK Hades drills with melta and MB.

Deep strike, 4x melta shots, 4++ Sv. Next round, 4x D6+2 melta shred HoW attacks and 4x WS2 and 4x WS4 I1 melta hits. All for 100 pts. less. It might fail miserably, but at least those engineers will die glorious deaths!

And 16x WS4 krak grenades, as well. Oh and the 4 gas grenades, too

Good call!

Except Maugan has EW and a 2++, I meant that he couldn't use barrage on his Str d one.

This creature really isn't hard to put down. Weak compared to most standards. If you think otherwise then I laugh at you. Seriously.

Agreed, especially in the case of Imperial Armies. For a mere 420 points give me x3 squads of Grav Kataphrons from Mechanicum in Drop Pods, bye bye Riptide.

Hmm so someone disagrees with some peoples opinion that the new suit is OP and he is automatically listed as a troll? Makes sense

Bahaha thank you. Tau players WANT this to be OP in hopes of them actually getting something good. Hearing the truth is probably hard for them to except

So, please, tell me how I takedown this thing with my CSM.

If you say 'Daemon Princes' you'll get the dreadsock.

Daemon princes!

Dread sock?

Demon Prince flying circus spam is one option because it would totally negate the D weapon since its a template and cannot target flying units. Also psychic powers, as far as I am aware Gargantuan Creatures are not immune to psychic powers so you could do some horrible damage to it. Also it is somewhat unfair to compare an older codex for a unit that is looking more and more like it was intended for the new book.

Just kill the supporting Tau army. They're the problem.

You can drown the KX in summoned daemons afterwards.

Smacked with an old metal Dreadnought in a sock.

Deadly.

Dropped a chaos one on my foot once, 'strong hand' pointing down... not pleasant

So, my Eldar friend wants to give him credit, so George Griffin you thought of this, not me.

Math works out. This is 900 points of deepstriking weapons that will on average kill the T'aunar. Not sure how practical that is in a real game, but in a vacuum, it works.

My birthday is soon. I'm grabbing one asap. It's simply too amazing not to purchase. I'll put the other new Tau stuff on hold.

50 Lasguns can kill it in 1 shooting turn with Prescience, FRF, Monster Hunter, and Rending (from Misfortune).

Thats a tough one to do considering you can't order the same squad twice

Don't bring logic to a Lasgun fight

You can get Monster Hunter from Ulrik.

Or a DA Techmarine in a Hammer of Caliban formation.

Straken would have been more "fluff" but he's not an IC.

I'd take 40 kroot and an ethereal in the middle of all of them and for the extra 300 points. Then the suit would be in a table edge and no one could drop, infiltrate, assault, move etc etc within 30 inches of it.

Skyhammer Annihilation Force, both devastator squads go with grav cannons, and assault squad sergeants take grav pistols.

At average, the Full Autism Armour will be taking ~20-30 hits, which wound on 2+ (devastators are Relentless after deep strike in the formation). Not feeling so safe with that 4++ save now do you? Two words: EAT. IT.

No its the fact that he stated an opinion( with no proof to back it up) with a very flamey tagline of 'I laugh at all of you who disagree with me'.

It more or less looks like he's trying to get someone to argue with him by first stating something controversial.

Don't forget to use Devastators doctrine. Since a skyhammer as anything but Ultramarines is heresy.

I think the problem with things like this is not its inherent toughness, but that it forces other armies into homogeneity.

By which I mean that now every Imperial army is going to have either lots of grav or Mechanicus or SM allies with lots of grav. It's going to be very boring.

Here's the stylish way to one-shot this thing. No grav, no D, old school classics only.

1x Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (Force Sword, Rad Grenades, Digital Weapons, ML1)
2x BA Librarians (Force Axes, Digital Weapons, ML2)
6x BA Assault Terminators (TH/SS)

520pts. With Hammerhand, Force, Rad Grenades and Digital Weapons you will put down a little more than 10 unsaved wounds in one turn of combat. You could of course take Combi-Grav to concuss the KX but that would be breaking the rules!

Load up the Land Raider, cross your fingers, Tank Shock and flame your way through any sissy Tau bubble wrap and demonstrate how original G's get it done


Automatically Appended Next Post:
3 min squads of Repentia with rerolls from Ministorum Priests can one-shot the suit if they make it into combat. With Litanies that reroll is guaranteed.

So this giant Tau mech can get owned by a bunch of naked girls in masks with whips and swords? That's the most 40k thing ever
