alucard no life king hey guys is the sky rail worth geting ? The Sky Ray's essentially useless. Without a ton of Pathfinders/Markerdrones, the Skyray will probably only be firing one missile a turn, without being able to help other units during the game. Everything it does, aside from support, is done better by the Hammerhead.

Yeah, but you can only have one hammerhead with a Farsight army. sweatdrop
I have to settle for a hammerhead, broadsides, and a skyray/sniper drone team.

One thing I love playing vs Tau is setting my Callidus (codename Noir) on Ethereal... Agressive negotiations smile Usually on the charge he's dead.

no, the real shot that killed ethereal was LOS requirement... if he could stay all the game in a 'fish he could be very useful...

Van Evok no, the real shot that killed ethereal was LOS requirement... if he could stay all the game in a 'fish he could be very useful... Yeah, LOS requirements killed the Ethereal. However, even under the old ruleset, sticking him in a 'fish didn't work because he needed to be on the table. What I generally did under the old codex was stick him either behind a hill (where units like the Callidus or Space Wolf Scouts could get him) or in a unit of Broadsides, where he got to benefit from their 2+ save. What gets me is the option for an honor blade. Who's gonna pay ten points for a close combat upgrade to a unit with I3, T3 and no save? CC is the last place you want him to be.

On the table doesn't mean in physical contact, I'm sure. Does that mean he couldn't stand in a building because he's not "on the table."
The only things not "on the table" are reserves, for deepstrike or otherwise, yeah?

Play nice.
I think he's saying that he'd use Tau rather then Kroot and Vespid, seeing as he doesn't need to have close combat, because his partner has that covered.

-Mykal I almost gaurantee Ill never use a partner, and Ill still never use kroot...maybe. The models look pretty sweet though.

-Mykal Stuff that's in transports can't be affected by table effects like Price of Failure or Fear of the Darkness. It stood to reason that things in transports could not affect the table either (barring some specifically allowed shooting). This has been confirmed in the 40k Rulebook FAQ. Quote: As transported models are not physically on the table, they cannot do anything (unless differently specified). The only exception is firing weapons (and using psychic powers and abilities that replace firing a weapon) from one of the vehicle’s Fire Point or from an open-topped transport. Having the Ethereal model directly on the table is obviously a comic exagerration, but my point stands. The Ethereal model actually had to be present on the playing field, not in a transport or in reserves. And Sanity...please. I've already told you once about the condescision. Try to mind yourself a little more and assume that the people you are talking to are not idiots and there is a reason for the comments they make even if they sound like they're stating the obvious on the first read. Comments like yours kill discussion, not further it.

What about Farseer guiding or dooming units out of transport? Can he guide his own transport if not other units?
