BRB and came across an unusual entry, which was Tau. They are only CTA with demons and Tyranids. Similarly they only have BB with themselves, but are AOC with eldar and bizarrely, necrons.

I've wondered how best to exploit this gap in the tau line up that is their infantry and flyer presence,which necrons seem to do far better. What would you pair up to bring to the party on this in both competitive and fun games.

Open to innovative ideas from necrons and CSM, as they are 2 armies i really dont know very well at all.

what are you running outside that though? a tau CAD? couple of formations?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8622023.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8622023.page GMT Tau Alliance Matrix - CSN and Necrons - How best to use?
I think they'd work great together on paper, as tau just need something to tie up fast/hard hitting CC units. I just didn't like the idea of running tau with necrons - can't really see them together from a fluff perspective...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8623060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8623060.page GMT Tau Alliance Matrix - CSN and Necrons - How best to use? I don't really know what CSM could offer tau. Their suits are better than our vehicles and in an allied detachment you can't take PMs as troops, which would be a good addition due to durability, which Tau lack. The same for MoN Bikers. Obviously renegade and Chaos knights aren't bad. Sorcerers for psychic defense would be nice. So... 1group cultists, 1 sorcerer with Bike, 1 group Bikers with MoN, 1 group PMs with Rhino to take Objectives. But again, you probably can take some Tau units for those points with more synergy for the rest of your army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8623811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689232/8623811.page GMT
