Suchu
pathfinders with rail rifles are awesome! if they don't die right away.
Mine hardley ever die I use them really cautiously, right after their in cover then they just shoot the crap out of anything and generally just annoy the enemy.

i can never put them in cover, when i do, the people steer their vehicles away from there so i can never really use my markerlights. (I love markerlights)

I love putting scorpions in cover so they always strike ifrst.

And people keep bugging me about one thing; they say that plasma grenades cant be used defensively. BUT HOW THE HELL ELSE ARE THEY TO BE USED if not to disable charging enemies krak grenades? Seriously, that is literally the only way they ca be used.

Plasma Gernades can be used Defensively, they're pretty much useless every other way. (i used to play Tau, and my friend still does...)

Yeah, but all the idiots I play say that the only grenade that can be used defensively is the Tau shock grernades or something.

Uh... check the BBB. Plasma grenades don't have a defensive use because they make troops strike in initiative order. Photon Grenades really are the only grenades with a defensive use.

Plasma grenades arent even listed in the BBB. just krak, photon, and frag.

The ENTIRE PURPOSE of plasma grenads is nulifying frag grenades, so if frags can only be used while charging, isnt it logical that plasma grenades would be used defensively to nullify them?

Page 39, at least in the BfM mini-BBB. It lists frag, plasma, and photon grenades. I can see how they could be used by troops with a higher initiative against troops with frags, but the intended use is offensive, as a higher- quality version of frag grenades.

*looks* ohh..... in the Eldart codex, it says that it nullifies frag's in close combat.

The new BBB takes precidence over any codex. Otherwise the BA would still be able to jump out of their Rhinos after using overcharged engines.

Besides, the wording in the BBB *suggests* a defensive use...
