HQ[/b]
commander shaso
-missile pod/plasma rifle, multi-tracker, hw blacksun, hw drone controller (2x shield drone)
2x bodyguard
-missile pod/plasma rifle, hw multi-tracker, targetting array, 1 with hw drone controller and 1 shield drone


Elite[b]
3xcrisis suits w/ TL missile pods, targeting array, team leader w/blacksun

3xcrisis suits w/fusion blasters/plasma rifle, multi trackers, team leader w/ blacksun

3x crisis suits w/ burst cannon/missile pods, multi trackers, team leader w/ blacksun

Troops[b]
8x fire warriors
8x fire warriors

4x pathfinders

HEAVY
2x broadsides

hammerhead

so the plan is, if it is objectives, then putting an objective in a bush, or if there is no bush then terrain 6" of my table edge and trying to sit them, fire warriors in pathfinders ride, and jump-shoot-jump with suits, i would appretiate any constructive critisism though.

Aside from that I wouldnt change anything. All the battlesuits are good, kitted well, and the Hammerhead as well. If you take another Hammerhead, give it an Ion Cannon, Multi Tracker and either missile pods or burstcannons.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5245865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5245865.page GMT Re:2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm I would split the fire warriors into 3 squads of 8 and combine the kroot into a full unit.
reduce the Shas'o to a Shas'el and use one of the bodyguards as a second Shas'el suit with iridium armor and shield drones, drop him in with your kroot to boost their survival.

so i was thinking about another hammer head, but so far in my experience iv had a wealth of fire power, enough to decimate the other army but i was so focused on killing things that i forgot about objectives, and usually only had 2 troops and then of course i lost. So im trying to keep the game needs balanced with the fun of watching units die to shooting. but again, 3 units of fire warriors in devilfish till later turns(or if they get blown up) and in the earlier turns play a game of guerrilla warfare. again i have no idea how well this will work so i would appreciate comments an critism again.

Anyways, I am also a fan of the Sniper Teams, though you can take Pathfinders with Railrifles just the same. I like setting them up on opposite sides and picking off tough units and watching the enemy get pinned every single turn.

You also get 9 BS4 Railrifles for cheaper than a Pathfinders unit. However I suppose this all depends on the scenario.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252241.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252241.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm

Yeah this is looking really solid. Added an extra Broadaide, thats good, having one is kinda useless unless its low points. In which you can probably still fit a Hammerhead.

sniper teams do sound good, if i got rid of the fire warrior team with devilfish and pirhana i would be able to get three sniper teams, but do you think that would be a good trade off?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252252.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252252.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm imo. It''ll save you the points you need. They aren't any more expensive then what you'd by from the regular GW models, and you get two in a box, which is honestly all you need.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5252812.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5253089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5253089.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm

I wouldn't buy Tetra's until the new codex comes out (whenever that may be) as the rumors for markerlights would mean any extra markerlights on an enemy unit are wasted. To clarify, I've heard that a markerlight on an enemy unit will give +1 BS to any Tau unit shooting at that unit and extra markerlights are lost. So, if the rumor holds true your heavy3 markerlight Tetra will be a waste. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255076.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm

Even if any unit firing at a unit with a markerlight on them gains the plus one ballistic skill they can still be used to strip down cover saves meaning those tanks which cna now gain cover more easily or those MC's who get cover like infantry don't get cover any more. Meaning your broadsides are going straight through. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255537.page GMT 2000pt tau trying for all comers, would appretiate critiscm

What Reddawn means is that the new markerlight rule(Only a rumor and hope to god it will never happen) Only increases BS by +1(max) for every unit shooting at the target and NOTHING else.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504957/5255857.page GMT
