Tau HQ
Commander w/ MSS, C&C Node, Puretide Chip, and Onagar Gauntlet 140pts

10x Kroot w/ sniper rounds 70pts

1607pts

Farsight, O'Vesa, and the 2 Commanders join up with the Target Lock Crisis team, yes its an expensive mess but I love having O'vesa there to take big shots on the chin, that I can pass shots around like candy thanks to having 4 ICs in the unit. They will deepstrike in, the bonus being that they are scoring and will soak up a ton of shots.

The kroot will infiltrate and the 2 other Crisis teams will deploy as normal and try not to get kilt.Yes there are some major holes in this list, if I am going up against Heldrakes I might as well throw it in, but hopefully the drone Bubble wrapping will help out in that area. I have close to 250pts left to add in, and I am unsure what to add. This is a highly mobile army and unfortunately I have run out of crisis suits, I guess I could always sub older broadsides for regular crisis suits.

remember that your farsight units need to be bonded too (not sure if you included that in your points)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6039995.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6039995.page GMT 1850pts Tau/Tau My version of the Farsight Bomb

your list is very short range, so you might want something like broadsides to sit back and throw out some shots. Otherwise, a unit of pathfinders or marker drones.

Good catch on the bonding ritual, a unit of pathfinders might help out the other 2 crisis teams, I don't want to be stationary much, I had thought about adding a unit of Broadsides in. I could get 3 with Velocity trackers or 3 with 2x missiles drones a piece with EWO for the remaining points, but need some good cover for them.

I like the idea of not having to defend anything though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040019.page GMT Re:1850pts Tau/Tau My version of the Farsight Bomb IMO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040046.page GMT Re:1850pts Tau/Tau My version of the Farsight Bomb

The biggest problem with that unit is that it Majority T4, sacrificing O'Vesa's T6 is a huge shame IMO.


very true, but with 2+ 3+(hopefully with the Earth Caste Pilot array) and 5 wounds and the ability to pass them around he should still be pretty durable as even though its majority toughness for wounds its not for insta kills.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551613/6040081.page GMT
