Hey guys,

I know you are probably bored of all these posts. but could you have a quick skim through this 1500 point version of the O'Vesa Star? I like the list a lot and although it has obvious weaknesses I think it can be pretty competitive.

Can I ask a question about the codex? Do you have to take Farsight in a Farsight Enclave detachment?

as for the list, might want to bring some missile sides with EWO. If my deepstriking angels were facing this list, they'd have a field day. Melta gun both skyrays and my Vanguard would tear your star apart. 6 melta bomb attacks and 3 powerfist attacks will do a number even on Tides.

Also, might want to equip your Crisis suits with something besides flamers. Plasma and BC are good for close targets, fusion for tanks, missiles for long range. Sure they're all more expensive, but just having 6 suits jumping around doing nothing all game isn't very helpful. Seems like a waste of points

Farsight is not required in a farsight list but he is if he plans on running O'Vesa.

Well its illegal no signature systems on Tau Empire Riptides.

You're reliant on the O'Vesastar with so little threat elsewhere in the list. The 3rd Riptide is part of the problem sucking up points. I would take more drones in the star.

No Broadsides is a mistake in my opinion.
