<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Tau xv23 commander experiment"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Tau xv23 commander experiment second question: I'm working on a statline for the XV 23, what do you guys think? The T would be lower than an crisis's of course, but I was thinking it gives up protection for mobility or reflex or accuracy. what do you think?

WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 9 3+

Unit Composition: 1 (special)
Unit Type: Jump Infantry (jet pack)
War Gear: XV23 battlesuit, hard-wired multi-tracker/target lock/shield gen (on of the three), *drone controller and shield drone/attack drone total 2, command link drone* optional
so? what do you think? is it ok? too OTT? i'm not that experienced with writing statlines so please excuse me!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376639.page GMT Tau xv23 commander experiment MEQ in a fancy suit.

What about gunz?

I'll give it three hammerhead railguns!

but yeah, weapons?

Also, a stealth command suit is gonna be waay overpowered, so maybe I5.

what about BS 5?

My thought.

hope it helps.

NB: thats a bit confusing, so i suggest doing this for statlines.

And statline could be re-worked like this:

WS3 (very difficult with those massive hands)
BS5 (very steady.)
S4 (nice and even.)
T4 (again, even.)
W4 (nice amount of armour, won't go down without a fight.)
I5 (suit enhances speed of movements.)
A3 (wouldn't be able to attack to evenly.)
LD 9. Is a commander
Save 2+. it's commanders armour, why wouldn't it be OP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376755.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376755.page GMT Tau xv23 commander experiment

I don't agree. won't a command suit have like a gyroscope or somthing?

yes, true, but don't you think 2+ is a bit too OTT? It would make it a marine terminator, and i'm thinking of pairing it with shield and/or markerlight drones, which would make it practically unbeatable. I think a 3+ would be better, more like a physically moderate being with real good armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1376779.page GMT Tau xv23 commander experiment
It would make it SM artificier armour, which is worth about 30 points.

WS3 because they've got massive hands.

a gyroscopes not gonna be that useful...

Maybe it can take Hard-wired power packs to increase swiftness. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379759.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379759.page GMT Tau xv23 commander experiment SM artificer armor, so + 30 points, and a commander crisis cost 75 points, and with the wargear, sooo... 95 points? reasonable?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379822.page GMT Re:Tau xv23 commander experiment
The only suits that are 2+ are Broadside and Crisis Commander w/Iridum. - Note, these suits lose the JSJ ability.
If this suit is lighter than a Crisis and have JSJ it should NOT get a better save.

I'd say:
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
3 4 4 4 3 3 3 9 3+

Unique HQ - 80
Jump Infantry (Jetpack)
Stealth Generator, IC, DS, Acute Sences, Skilled Rider

Options as Crisis Commander (but cannot take Iridum, Pos. Relay, Stim Injector)
May take retinue of 1-3 Stealth Suit Shas'vre for 40p each, instedad of Crisis Retinue

Reasoning:
WS3, I3, A3 - its a Tau, not good in CC
T4 W3 BS4 - same as Shas'el
T4 Sv3+ S4 - same as Crisis/Stealth Suit.
Ld9 - Commander model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282006/1379917.page GMT
