Welcome to Gaia! ::

I never thought of it that way, thanks.
How are sniper drone teams stealthed though?

Thing is I cant put that knowledge into good use, I dont know how stealth works yet.

My cousin likes to use terminators against my firewarriors (I know, real fair isnt it?) so Im gonna use them for anti-terminator support.

Oh, so you can move up to 12" during movement (If desired), then move behind something with the extra 6" during assault? I thought that assault was meant for... You know? Assaulting? Is that a rule? Are you allowed to use the assault move to move anywhere you want? I've honestly never heard of that. neutral

Actually, it's more akin to the way an Eldar Jet Bike can always move six inches in the assault phase, even if not charging something. It's unique to the Tau and the Eldar.

No, Jetpackers don't get 12" of movement in the Movement phase. Look at your main rulebook, page 55, under "Jetpacks." They get 12" of movement total, 6" in the movement phase and 6" in the assault phase, same as all normal infantry. The difference is that the assault move can be made as normal movement, instead of being forced to only use it to assault.

If you've been playing with Tau suits moving 12" like basic Jump Infantry than you've been doing it wrong. They use Jetpacks, not Jump packs, which aren't the same thing.



Hit and Run doesn't allow you to move in the assault phase, it allows you to leave combat at the end of any assault phase. And Fleet of Foot is done instead of shooting so it's not really comparable. The assault move that the Tau and Eldar get are because of Eldar Jetbikes and Tau Jetpacks, specifically.

Crisis Suits Team: 3 Suits with: TWL plasma rilfe, and 2 GD

6" move, shoot once at 24" or twice at 12" then hop out 6", do you smell cooked termies?

Grrreat News. I went to games workshop and with my money plus my fathers I got two Crisis suits, a sniper drone team, dice, and firewarrior squad. I assembled the crisis suits and set them up on the base (funny thing, both crisis suits didnt come with bases besides for the ones for the gun drones, the staff gave me two 40 mils) as to look like they are flying. They look pretty cool. I put them in fire Knife pattern like you guys said, and the targeting array, so they are coolness. I also made some cool poses for my firewarrior team, I have spares that I made (using squads of 8, 12 in a box) that are the shas'ui so I can give both of the squads leaders if I want. I also did a pretty good job at making a firewarrior handle a grenade with the left hand instead of the right. One of them was for kicks, but I guess I can use him: I had him using two pulse rifles, I cut off the thumb for one of the arms and glued a gun in place while using a piece that allowed the other arm to point the gun straight forward. I officially hate pewter models, It took me forever to attach, reattach, rereattach, etc. the guns to the drone domes.
Played a quick game with my cousin, he tried to pull a fast one on me. My army list was a bit over 500 pts, and I said equal value. What does he do? Puts up command squad and a terminator squad on the table, which is over 700 pts already and then he says that he needs a dreadnaugh to kill the crisis suits (I didnt say it was fair, he thought three Crisis (two crisis, one shas'o) was really unfair and cheap, but I knew they could go down easy with that firepower on his side). Most of the time we were arguing about him and his stupid dreadnaught, I was trying to point out to him that he was already on and a half times my army in points.
So with it settled we began, I got the first turn, and I shot the s**t out of his terminators, killed 2 out of 6. Took a few pot shots at of his command squad, killed a few. When it came to his turn, his terminators advanced, tried to hit some firewarriors, killed 3. Command squad advanced, shot at firewarriors, killed 1. My turn, shot the s**t out of terminators again, killed another 2, they routed, and killed 2 off of the command squad.
By my third turn he had given up hope being the sore loser that he is, he still his terminators which had re-grouped and begun slaughtering fire warriors while the few guys left in his command squad were getting read to beat up the other fire warrior squad.
I win
