http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k again when I get out of debt sometime in the summer. Unfortunatley I was forced to sell my ork army just to buy groceries, and for much less than I would have liked to boot. All I have left are my Tau from when I got started way back in 3rd ed right after their release. Even then I struggle to field 750 points without using inferior units in 4th ed rules.

Can anyone tell me what I should invest in for 5th, if they have playtested the rules with their tau armies? Also what strategies work decent if fish of fury is no good anymore. Does all the extra movement from running mean we are just pounded that much faster by close combat armies? Is there any hope for a static shooty army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/307688.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/307688.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/307993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/307993.page GMT

disruption pods for 4+ cover save
take fire like a fast vehicle upgrade and move 6" shoot all guns

fragile scoring units to the objectives as the game no
longer revolves around killing, but scoring.

i still feel they are competitive. on the bright side if you just
kill everything that could score, scoring becomes easier.

From what I've seen loading up on vehicle upgrades seems to be popular. Using markerlights to remove cover saves may help when shooting through other units.

Can't say I have experience playing with the new rules though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310211.page GMT
not everything gets better. kroot, vespid and firewarriors are still bad but pathfinders get better.

your standard tau army for 5th doesnt change that much to the standard army for 4th, except you want to include more markerlights]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310400.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310688.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212813/310688.page GMT
