Okay guys I need some help real quick to make sure this list is okay. My buddy is a power player and we are going head to head for a campaign at games workshop. he runs a Farsight unit so 1 battle suit for like two or three squads to lock down points and a few squads with meltas or flamethrowers. or the Farsight bomb even a mini bomb. I know tau crack tanks like paper but this seems the safest list with out trying to focus just killing tau.



Story behind my fear.

IG is good at low point matches. Many possible strategies, can spam tanks/infantery/Chimeras/artillery.

First - does the torney have any special rules, such as "no D weapons" or "no Forgeworld"? Secondly - what type of goals will they have? Take objectives, random or something else?

It seems that you have 2 HQ, 2 Chimeravets and 1 Tauroxvet.

My recommendation 1: Drop 1 HQ for a Wyvern! Kills hordes, kills stealth units and is always useful. Not to mention very cheap.

My recommendation 2: Pimp the remaining HQ with a lascannon, 2xplasma and a MoO/astropath (psychic scream against Tau should be interesting). Keep it stationary as a firebase (giving order to itself) while the 2 Chimeravets captures objectives or mobile forces. Park the Wyvern close to the HQ.

Such a list isn't tailored, fairly general and possible to expand.

No D weapons and no forge world and Maelstrom of War with the cards doing what the cars say. (sorry played last in 4th edition so I am learning a lot) both HQ had lascannons for "fire on my target" (ignore cover) but I do have a Wyvren and that sounds like a very good idea for swarms. I have a huge army but no astropaths or a MMO yet and I think its a "what you see is what you get" campaign. So no proxy units.

Thank you Superkuf I never thought to throw a wyvren in the list.
