So far I have tested this list out in about 6 games and have had solid victories in each game. Although its a relatively low model count army and each loss is a definite blow each unit has a purpose and can dish out some serious fire power. Fast moving and able to grab objectives, although only 3 in a non big guns or scouring missions. This list mostly relies on denying the opponent objectives my destroying scoring units while weathering and out-monuvering enemy fire power, then going for the table.

Originally I wanted to use the Eldar as Iyanden to gain battle focus on the wraiths to mitigate their short range, but apparently you cant have 2 supplements allied together. Either way the Wraithguard and Wraithknight are a tough units able so far to weather a lot of firepower, distracting the opponent from the more vulnerable Crisis/Markerlights. They also provide awesome firepower once in range and with the Spritseer provide the Tau with physic benefits.

The Tetra is one of the most important units in the list. According to the Tau codex (much like the Demon Icons and unlike the Space Marine Teleport Beacons), the Tau Homing Beacon does not need to be on the table at the start of the turn. This allows me to outflank the Tetra and precision deep strike the 2 Crisis units within 6' of of its location. The extra 2 TL-markerlights are also a nice bonus to support the Crisis. This is where a lot of my tank busting and objective grabbing capabilities come in. Its only downfall is that it relies on reserve rolls (in larger 2k games I usually add another Tetra and a 10 man squad of Sniper Kroot.

Tanks for reading, let me know what you think and if there's any improvements that could be made.

Are thunderfire barrage weapons? I wad planing to use jsj to protect the marker drones while using the commander as a shield. Maybe I should swap 2 drones to shield drones? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6647075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6647075.page GMT 1850 Farsight Enclave with Eldar allies. ap 4 heavy 4 blast barrage
Strength 5 ap 6 heavy 4 ingores cover barrage
Strength 4 ap - heavy 4 tremor barrage
Those are th mods a thunder fire cannon can shoot. One thing that will make that scary sqyad cry that i told you about is putting those wraith guard into a wave seperant and giving them those flammers.

To deal with the thunderfirw you need to monuver your wraithknight to get shots on them early like turn 1. I have litterally won games while lossing everything but 2 flyers my chapter masters and my thunderfires. On average they kill 500 points every two turns.

3 w/ drones
2 w/ fusion 2 drones,
1 w/ cib, abf, , drone.

Then, move the target lock over to the fusion suits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6648231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6648231.page GMT 1850 Farsight Enclave with Eldar allies.

Thats a decent idea and it would give me an extra troop choice. I would probably keep the 3rd drone with the fusion crisis as they tend to get in close to target due to melta range and it would mean they could loose one drone before taking a moral check. Its also pretty easy to hide one crisis out of line of sight. Thanks for the tip]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6649181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6649181.page GMT 1850 Farsight Enclave with Eldar allies. AA weapon, better to use the broadsides or the ECPA tide. Stick to the large blast intercept for the EWO


The AFP is a bit meh for what it does. Unless your meta is blobs of guardsmen behind an ADL, you could do just fine with a flamer or more dakka. I would drop the target lock and switch the AFP to a fusion blaster, as the cyclic ion can hurt everything but Av14.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6649188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6649188.page GMT 1850 Farsight Enclave with Eldar allies.
im not sure how much difference 1 extra wraith would make to the units survivability and 2 riptides with skyfire has gotta be better than 1 right? Even just for grounding mc's]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6650764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585582/6650764.page GMT
