Thanks for reading]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5914505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5914505.page GMT ADL with quad gun and velocity tracker for the riptide...
Its 1 less vehicle and if anyone wants to spam flyers ill have more than enough to deal with it]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916928.page GMT FNP and be stubborn. Once somebody is in close your storm of fire will dakka the bejesus out of things, but until then Aun'va is just not giving out that much awesomeness. A normal ethereal would do better, and allow you to get more fire warriors.

An ADL would be nice for your gunline, and so would a velocity. The combo should give you sufficient AA for the points level]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916978.page GMT At the moment I don't have a basic ethereal, (Getting one soon tho)
As for Aun'va
My reasoning for having him is.. I play against lots of tyranids,
And those brain leech worms that make me do leadership at -1
Firewarriors just pick up and move off the board
Aun'va lets me take leadership at 10, and reroll failed ones..
its really the only reason he's there..

If I switch him out for a basic ethereal..
I don't know what to spend the points on... just straight trade him out for the ADL?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5916997.page GMT My tau (the list above) vs. tyranids
On a 4x4 game board.. That's what the tournament is using
If I recall correctly this was his list
Flyrant HQ
10 or so hormagants
10 or so termagants
A tervigon
A trygon
And 7 of those gene stealers who pop out of terrain

He won the roll to deploy and go first
I stole initiative,
That was the beginning of the end...
I started on an objective with my squad of 11 fire warriors and cadre, the objective we rolled for gave me skyfire
That unit didn't move so they doubled their shots
I ended up getting 2 wounds on his flyrant
The skyray popped him with 2 seeker missiles and finished him off
That was a good start,
The tervigon and termagants took the rest of the shots (mostly blasts) I killed lots of termagants and 2 wounds on the termagant
His turn he poops 13 termagants and everything moves and runs forward
My second turn I lay 3 wounds down on the trygon as it approaches and take out the hormagants and the termagants that were closing in
His turn 2 - genestealers don't come on,
He moves everything forward
My turn 3
Down goes his trygon,
He's got 3 units of termagants getting close, I try to keep them back as much as possible,
His turn 3,
Genestealers pop out of a forest right next to me,
I forget to use interceptor from the riptide,
He assaults,
I support fire and kill all the genestealers,
He assaults with 2 units of termagants they both fail
He gives up, game over,
He only had a handful of termagants left and a tervigon
I hadn't lost a model

He hates me

Anyways, I'm going to try this list again and see if it's actually that awesome,
And so far I like it

Correction,
He managed 3 wounds on my unit of 8 fire warriors before assaulting and I lost 2
I lost 2 models in that game (fire warriors)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5928367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544242/5928367.page GMT
