Tau Army List, Part Six

 

Hey guys,

So I took some of Rathstar’s comments (see last post), and tweaked my Tau list to good measure. I’m trying some new things this time. First off, only one FW squad is actually meched up. Their S5 guns can stop Rhino Rushes, so I’ve actually got more out on the table this time. The suits are a little bit differently configured, it should pay off in the end, especially the Fusion Blaster Squad and the Positional Relay. Anyways, I’ll post up the list and see what you all think.

 

HQ 321

• Commander Shas’el with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Targeting Array, HWDC, HWMT, and HWTL. Drones: 1 Gun & 1 Shield.
• Bodyguard #1 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker, & HWDC. Drones: 1 Gun & 1 Shield.
• Bodyguard #2 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi Tracker, & HWDC. Drones: 1 Gun & 1 Shield.

ELITES 443

• Crisis Suit Team
• Suit #1 with Fusion Blaster, Missile Pod, Targeting Array, HWDC, HWMT, HWTL, & Bonding Knife. Drones: 2 Guns.

· Suit #2 with Fusion Blaster, Missile Pod, & Multi-Tracker.

· Suit #3: with Fusion Blaster, Missile Pod, & Multi-Tracker.

• Crisis Suit Team
• Suit #1 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Positional Relay, HWDC, HWMT, & HWTL. Drones: 2 Guns.

· Suit #2 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, & Multi-Tracker.

· Suit #3 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, & Multi-Tracker.

TROOPS 467

• Fire Warrior Team (X12) with Team Leader, Bonding Knife, & Markerlight.
• · Fire Warrior Team (X6) with Bonding Knife, Team Leader, and Markerlight.
• · Fire Warrior Team (X6) with Team Leader & HWDC. Drones: 2 Guns.
• · Kroot Carnivore Squad (X10) with Kroot Hounds (X12).

FAST ATTACK 221

• Pathfinder Team X8 with Shas’ui & Drone Controller. Drones: 2 Guns.

In a Devilfish with Disruption Pod.

HEAVY SUPPORT 545

• Hammerhead Gunship with Railgun, Multi-Tracker, & Disruption Pod.
• Broadside Team
• Suit #1 with Drone Controller. Drones: 2 Shield.
• Suit #2 with Drone Controller. Drones: 2 Shield.
• Broadside Team
• Suit #1 with Drone Controller. Drones: 2 Shield.
• Suit #2 with Drone Controller. Drones: 2 Shield.

I definitely feel that this list will do much better than my last one. More troops for holding objectives, as well as some extra Markerlights. Now that I look at it, I might put a HWTL on the Team Leaders at some point. The Kroot squad is just a tad larger than the last ones to speedbump a little more effectively. The vehicle Disruption Pods all keep them moving and alive just a little longer, and the Multi-Tracker means the Hammerhead can move and still wreck something with its Railgun. The Fusion Blaster team is used in conjunction with the Positional Relay in order to pop something like a Land Raider, Leman Russ Squadron, Basilisks, Battlewagons, etc.

As usual, comments and critiques are always welcome!
