if anyone has any tips as to how best to use the Gunfort I would appreciate it as I am looking to make a few lists, I have a few ideas but some inspiration would be great. Nothing too competitive of course I have my Stormsurges and Riptides for that.I have been accused of running too much cheese and am trying to make a fun list ha]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8675462.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8675462.page GMT Tau Gunrig http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/687026.page#8580254

I posted pics. the gunrig is the same size as the circular thingy on the shieldline. take a look for yourself. How many infantry would fit in the footprint of a riptide?

and lastly, just don't use darkstrider with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8675493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8675493.page GMT Re:Tau Gunrig
I was thinking of using cadre fireblades to man the guns as they seem the best option with the split fire and high BS while still buffing the unit of fire warriors he is with. I was thinking of trying dark strider as well, mainly to see someone face when I instant kill their Riptide or daemon prince. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8676263.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8676263.page GMT Tau Gunrig

Why not? He's the best guy to put there!

Fill them with fire warriors and go to ground every time someone attacks you. Be sure to have Interceptor around to kill deep striking flamers and deal with any ignores cover ASAP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8676495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8676495.page GMT Tau Gunrig
If I was to do as you mentioned and go to ground if I get shot at it would mean dark strider would have to snap shoot the gun rig wouldn't it just to make sure I under stand as I have never used a fortification before other than the aegis line. As for interceptor trying to stay away from Riptides for the list so i will be at the mercy of deep striking flamers though most people don't run flamers in units deep striking all seems to grav or plasmas.

Also, yes, GtG with Darkstrider's unit isn't ideal. That one could stick behind impassable terrain and move to shoot or field something more menancing to avoid fire...

Was considering getting 2 gun towers and a drone port, has anyone had much success with a cadre fireblade/strike team combo with the droneport? Seems like it could be a nasty little anti infantry firebase for gunline Tau set ups...

I'm thinking of using the below:

Gun Rig A - 5 x Pathfinder w/ Markerlight
Gun Rig B - 5 x Pathfinder w/ Markerlight
Drone Port - 12 x Firewarrior w/ Pulse Rifle, Cadre Fireblade, 4 x Marker Drone


The main question is would all of the FW's fit in the drone port? does anyone have any rough estimates of how many each can fit?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8678690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8678690.page GMT Tau Gunrig CAD's? but if I take 3 gunrigs as a gunfort it will fit in 1 CAD.

I miss having str 10 broadsides so 3 tl str 10 shots with the option to wreck pretty much any big tank with 3 armor bane shots sounds good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8681949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691912/8681949.page GMT
