Delpheus Mat Delpheus DarkElf27 Delpheus I'm actually debating between Tau and Imperial Guard... Go IG, there are a LOT fewer IG players than Tau. Other than lack of IG players, why should I go IG? the wide range of possiblities that Guard has is a resaon I like though not the reason I choose guard for. I picked guard because I read and liked the fluff and went with it. Now if I could just get enough models of infantry built for a whole company id be happy I have noticed the Guard have a lot of choices, but I'm more preferential towards Tau fluff... And I don't think I can field an army of Gue'vesa.
Do Guard, seriously. They're just...diverse. Aesthetically and tactically. If I had money and time and patience, I'd do them.

((2 choice, shooty or diversity.
The tau are by far one of the best shooting armies in the game, they will decimate total lines of enemies before they come close.
IG can be played in a billion plus one different ways. YOu can tune them to whatever you palying still is. I personally play a mechanaized list. Tau are awesome at mechanised too. so ur choice.))

Oh yes speaking of which I just picked both of mine up today and have one half assembled and the coolest part is my Baneblades are actually registered in Canadian Games Workshops. They now have there own Vehicle Serial Number and also has me recorded as thier Regt Commander. It's so cool. And I was told that this was only done for the first ones sold on there release date.

Nuclearwinter Everyone's getting baneblades.... I can't wait to the turn the useless tanks into scrap metal with superior air-power! Tanks wont get insta-killed by enemy aircraft. Plus anti-air, both in units and in the long range ack-ack asset can take on enemy aircraft with some ease. The biggest point is perhaps that no side would field more than two or three flying units at the most.

Super-heavy vehicles have structure points. Only living things used to have mass points, which GW substituted for ten wounds.

Yeah, I just checked out aircraft, and they SUCK for anti-armor. meh. even the bombers are no good against tanks or hardened targets!!! Makes no sense, but hey they're still good for giving you the bombing run just in the right spot at the right time. And you can drop the 40k equivilant of NAPALM!!! Effective? needs to be determined, but fun? Every time. You can even roast marines. Sweet.

Hellstrike missiles can do tank busting. But ja, most aircraft are far better at taking out enemy troops with Inferno! and bombs.
