Thanks for the tip. Just looked them up, and they're somewhat costly...

Thanks for suggesting this, very helpful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339754.page GMT Re:Beginner Tau General, Seeking Tips The boxes comes at a great price and no matter how your playstyle will go you will use the transport, crisis suits and eaither the kroots or firewarriors. Making the battle box a steal. Kroots seems to work best if you ad in some hounds with them, I solved this with a friend playing Fantasy chaos warriors, so he has like 60 hounds I can borrow when we are not playing fantasy. So if you decide you like kroots later a box of chaos hounds might be nice.

Expanding from this later will be easy, just get the big guns you dont have at the moment.

Never played 40k but this is the findings I made, if they are spot on I have no idea. But you will always be using more then 2/3 of what you buy here, and the battle boxes being so cheap makes em still worth it then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339968.page GMT Beginner Tau General, Seeking Tips

Sorry to tell you, but if you want to play this game, be prepared to spend quite a bit of money. The Battle force is actually a "good" price for what you get. I would also recommend it. It gives you the necessities to play a small point game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1339993.page GMT Re:Beginner Tau General, Seeking Tips http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340554.page GMT Re:Beginner Tau General, Seeking Tips
Look at as many different setups as you can and you'll find something that suits your playstyle. Best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340576.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340576.page GMT Beginner Tau General, Seeking Tips
The hidden gem people forget is that you also get a boatload of drones. Players may not like em, but they are "basically" free models.

My personal recommendations are to get 1 more crisis suit, crisis suit commander, and 2 broadsides.

The immediate ones, IMHO, are the crisis suit and commander.

Good luck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/279605/1340729.page GMT
