wich is better? is the second list too cheesy fo 1000 pts, especially since i know i probally wont see any enemy heavy support? (this is for a competetive league play - but i dont want to get too ridiculus, and dual riptide at 1000 *might*?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408567.page GMT

I mean, these lists are brilliant, why has no one thought of putting two riptides at 1,000 points before? Maybe you should cut some stuff and just use Kroot for your troops choice, then you can bring three!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408658.page GMT I would give it three rounds before it was wiped by proper orks or proper guard...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408764.page GMT
On topic, I don't like kroot. They may be "the best" troop choice tau have... I beg to differ, plus I don't like the models, or the fluff.

How exactly would a proper gaurd or orks list wipe me out in 3 turns, with either build? (No heavy support choices) I'm simply curious and such insight will help refine the list, and I may end up dropping both riptides. I simpy have the models, and plan to use them eventually, just gotta figure out when is the best (fair and fun, but still strong to use) time / points level to take them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571954/6408818.page GMT
