				<description><![CDATA[ I'm back.   <img src="/s/i/a/3280d57d913d8178fb42a55db16d1e89.gif" border="0"><br /> <br /> So I've figured out that Broadsides basically take the cake, and might overuse them a wee bit.  <img src="/s/i/a/6d3c0a908a3861135dfaebde91c0ecf6.gif" border="0"><br /> <br /> The list I used the other day goes like this:<br /> <br /> Shas'O - 75pts<br /> Plasma Rifle, Airbursting Fragmentation Projector, Shield Generator, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(59);'>HW</span> Multi-tracker<br /> 140pts<br /> <br /> x3 Stealthsuit - 90pts<br /> 90pts<br /> <br /> x12 Fire Warrior - 120pts<br /> Shas'Ui<br /> 130pts<br /> <br /> x12 Fire Warrior - 120pts<br /> Shas'Ui<br /> 130pts<br /> <br /> x2 Broadside -140pts<br /> Targetting Array(x2)<br /> 160pts<br /> <br /> x2 Broadside -140pts<br /> Targetting Array(x2)<br /> 160pts<br /> <br /> Hammerhead - 90pts<br /> Railgun, Smart Missle System, Multi-tracker, Target Lock, Decoy Launchers<br /> 180pts<br /> <br /> 990pts.<br /> <br /> Suggestions for the last 10 points?]]></description>

				<title>Re:1000pts Tau</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ My suggestions (and these are all TheoryHammer):<br /> <br /> Make the Shas'O cheaper.  The Airbursting Fragmentation Projector does not pair well with Plasma; Missile Pods are a good choice here.   You also shouldn't need the Shield Generator, as he should be hiding behind terrain.  Jump Shoot Jump!<br /> <br /> You have a dearth of mid-strength firepower, which you get from battlesuits.  The flamers are a last-ditch weapon that you should rarely be close enough to use, and a non-twin-linked missile pod won't do much good on its own.   Between the Firewarriors, AFP and Hammerhead Railgun templates, you have plenty of anti-troop firepower.  The <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(557);'>Fireknife</span> battlesuit configuration is very popular and highly effective against a variety of targets (Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, MultiTracker).<br /> <br /> Those Firewarriors will R-U-N-N-O-F-T.  Make 'em 12 man squads and give the Shas'ui a Bonding Knife (your points are off by 10 in your current list for these squads).  You need them to win games.<br /> <br /> Broadsides really should have the Advanced Stabilization System to keep them mobile.  Static shooty elements like that quickly become "Area Denial Generators" rather than "Active Threats".  Also, a few Shield Drones (make one a team lead and give him a hard-wired Drone Controller) will make them much more survivable.<br /> <br /> Hammerheads look good.<br /> <br /> Good luck!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Twin link the missile pods instead of the flamers, also consider PR/<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(518);'>MP</span>/<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(520);'>MT</span> if you are facing Power Armor.  If you need to make room points wise, drop the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(388);'>SMS</span> on the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(320);'>HHs</span> and go <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(389);'>BC</span>.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ But I love my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(388);'>SMS</span>. xD<br /> <br /> And as for the crisis, I was more just going for making the flamer suits. Testing out the idea. I was originally going to just give the Blacksun filters for the last hard point but figured I go for some <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(518);'>MPs</span>.<br /> <br /> What I left out was that I actually intended this list for a guy who plays orks at our local <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span>. Then I realised that it could still be an all comers list too so I'm gonna test it out today.<br /> <br /> The Shas'O is so points heavy because I know I can load him up. I usually only play with him as my only large suit and he manages well, so with 3 other suits to keep him active I figured why not. That and the PR does wonders agaisnt anything. I really tend to stack my Os with the good weapons due to their <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(14);'>BS</span> 5. And Plasma is my fave. I was originally thinking about <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(518);'>MPs</span> for my O but Plasma complements the range of the AFP better and, well, it's Plasma.<br /> <br /> The Broadsides are the only solid static element of the list so I think it'll work out. It usually does anyways.<br /> <br /> You're right about the Fire Warriors though, I need to work them out somehow so they're tougher. I'll have to cut back somewhere.<br /> <br /> I'm thinking the stim injectors on the O and the Decoy Launchers on both the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(320);'>HHs</span> to give each squad an 'Ui.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ One other solution to consider with the Crisis suits if you want flamers is to pair them with a fusion blaster for vehicle hunting if there are no good flamer targets available.   You're going to be close anyway, and it's relatively easy to make your points back.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure that that makes sense, Iorek. If you have, say, flamer and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(126);'>TL</span> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(518);'>MP</span>, and you don't see any good flamer targets, you simply don't get close after all! There is no particular reason to take a fusion blaster just because it and the flamer are both short-ranged.]]></description>
