TACTICS:
The Iron Priests and Rune Priest Jump in the Land Raider, giving it two repairs and a 5+ cover every turn. If lucky on the rolls, the Rune Priest will instead be giving the LR a 4++. Behind this hides the Thunder Wolves, who are simply trying to break LOS so they don't get shredded by Fire Warriors. The Grey Hunters drop in with Meltaguns to hopefully pop the Hammerhead. The Land Raider hugs the side of the map, rolls up to the gun Line, the wolves get their faces in Some Fire warriors, and the priests jump out and assault Broadsides.

Would This work? Any tips to make it better? Don't get rid of the Thunder Wolves, she loves them too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6696110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6696110.page GMT
1. you cant put 2 units in a landraider
2. ironpriest are not independant characters
3. you cant mix book powers hit codex powers
4. why are you sinking 585 points in a friggin landraider that shoot some str 4
5.why saga of the warrior born on a model that isnt supposed to be in ccb
6. why just 3 thunderwolves
7.why just 1 runepriest and why no jaws ?

whit the hole poking done some advice
most ranged stuff of tau is 36" you stay out of it or hit them where it hurts in ccb (if you get there). The landraider is a waste of points i would advice some more runepriests (whit the greyhunters in the droppods) whit jaws if you fight tau its a up hill battle you need to optimise your list

Where does it say you can't mix powers? It says in the codex that the Rune Priest gets two powers, and I know my Eldar can mix trees...

The land raider is the only vehicle AV 14 all sides, meaning only harmable by S: 8+ (in the case of the opponent, one skyray, one Meltagun on a suit, and one hammerhead) It's being used to block the firepower on the Thunder Wolves so they can get to the punching (somewhere they never get to alone). I picked the Crusader for Infantry shredding to decrease the number of units in the gun line as it rolls up the field. However, it IS 585 points right now, do you have any alternate suggestions that can survive S: 5 everywhere for cheaper while blocking LOS for the Wolves?

Saga of the Warrior Born for extra shredding power against masses of Fire Warriors. I know the Rune Priest isn't meant to punch, but everything can punch Tau. As such, multiple assault with Saga of the Warrior Born to let the punching never stop so the rune Priest can't be shot.

Never seemed to need more than three Wolves, and I'm trying to hide them all behind a LR... How many would you suggest?

Just one Rune Priest because I'm just trying to make the LR more durable, and don't need two for that. JOWW is nasty to the ignorant Tau player what with they're I:2 across the board, but a blob Tau list spread out properly means you'll only ever get 1-3 fire warriors, MAYBE a Suit if you're lucky.

She's already tried the 'drop pod with JOWW surprise' several times, they all ended... shall we say... miserably? It limited the number of troops on the field to nice bite sized chunks in Rapid fire range, which never lasted through the turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6697003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6697003.page GMT faq page 2

Drop them in, use cover if you can to prevent any incoming interceptor shots, and then focus his ethereal/markerlights first.

Tau are actually not too bad for SW, as JotWW will eat gun lines when the runepriest drops in, and you can close the distance very fast. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6698480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588310/6698480.page GMT
