I Haven't seen many people running Broadsides anymore so the fact I'm sticking with them may be a sign of me being stuck in the past a little. Also, no Stormsurge in the list while I think they are awesome, I don't have one yet though will get one in a few months.

The club I go to only really seem to play maelstrom missions I think so KP isn't so much of an issue is it? plus its hard to get all the cool new formations in without going MSU haha.

As for objective holding I see what you mean though compared to some of the other Tau lists with 2 storm surge lists it's not so bad. I'm hoping my opponent will be too busy killing riptides to worry about the other guys. I am loving all these new formations though they bring a fun new element to list building. I'm thinking the dawn blade contingent is awesome! let's be honest most lists have something big or important to kill re-rolling hits and wounds on a unit per turn is sweet. Even the retaliation cadre which I viewed as a bit of a tax for the dawn blade contingent helps deep strike an extra riptide and suits wherever my objectives need without the worry that they may take till turn 4 to come on! and the riptide formation is just crazy.

The riptide wing is not part of the Contingent, so their is no mandatory need for the bonding knife. so there is 3 pts.

Additionally and this comes down to your local group decision. But as of the new Montka and FSE editions, a riptide cannot take the ECPA because it is not a character. Again, not bringing this up for debate its how its worded and its your groups decision. But that saves another 35? pts ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8552099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8552099.page GMT [1850] - Tau - Dawn Blade Contingent
I'll take the bonding knives off my riptides thanks, I didn't see that. Does that mean they don't benefit from the re-rolls given for the contingent?

really? I didn't see that in the book is that how it generally is ruled at tournaments and such. I was about to ask why in the rule it states a re-roll to nova charge but I suppose that's because O'Vesa gets it as standard.

Brought up in debates in other threads.. it comes down to the old book says "characters in FSE may take ONLY FSE relics (riptides may also take them)" and the new one "characters in FSE may take relics from BOTH FSE and Tau empire"

So we lose the caveat that riptides may take it.. but now gain Tau empire relics in return.. so evens out to me haha.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8552272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8552272.page GMT Re:[1850] - Tau - Dawn Blade Contingent str 7 shots and can punish units that forget to spread out with a couple of blast templates. I've dropped all the Skyfire but if I really need to kill flyers I have quite a few str 7 shots.

I am fairly sure that riptides can no longer take ECPA.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8553280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8553280.page GMT [1850] - Tau - Dawn Blade Contingent http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8553566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685240/8553566.page GMT
