<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build? So I had a look at the wording of the index, and realized the commander can outright take 4 weapons if he wants to. He can take 4 fusion blasters and fire them all on a 2+. And in addition, he can deepstrike (or whatever it's called now) anywhere he wants outside of '9 of an enemy unit at the end of your movement phase.

IF I've understood this correctly, this means you could make an absolutely murdertastic commander that can slaughter just about any medium/light tank on turn 1. 4 fusion blasters, each one with a -4 rend and D6 wounds...

In theory, this sounds absolutely hilarious and I'm aching to try it. But I'm wondering if I've missed anything? Will the commander be overcosted or not? Will this be another one of those ideas that's fun in theory, but less practical in reality? I'll take any feedback on this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465040.page GMT Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build?

BS 2+ means that the also benefit massively from the "terrible new waste of space Marker lights" These guys are able to drop in to within 9" of an enemy (Or closer with a homing beacon) and light up any and all targets.

Yes. Yes you can. Quad Fusion Commanders (as well as other builds) are amazing.

IDK why this thread would be superfluous.

Saw some really interesting pro/con discussions about the fusionmander vs the ghostkeel, though. A commander could deepstrike in and turn a tank (or monster, enemy character, or multi-wound heavy infantry) to molten paste in a single turn, but I guess the risk is that he becomes the focus of a whole lot of firepower? It still sounds amazing, though. Or should I just buy a ghostkeel?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465678.page GMT Re:Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build? QFB are glass canons to be sure. The Ghost is good, although you really need to decide its role before within your force before committing IMO.

(Or just get several of each as I have done. )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9465784.page GMT Re:Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build? 2d6 wounds to a primaris captain felt magical.

(Went the safe route of 3 blasters and a shield generator. Still reliably murdered stuff.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9467906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9467906.page GMT Re:Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build?

Just take the fourth weapon. Then drop him with a bunch of Crisis suits and drones, he'll survive to fire again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9468493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9468493.page GMT Tau Commander- 4 Fusion Blaster build? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9468525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731102/9468525.page GMT
