Emirie Katakana Dark Jeral Emirie Katakana DarkElf27 Yahiko_Meoshine I just read the entire Tau codex and I am VERY impressed. I think I'm gonna' start a Tau army now. *sigh* why does everyone go to the most overpowered armies? Tau, Space Marines, Necrons.... ok, dont get me started on Tau and Necrons. >_< Any game taht comes down to a stupid 5 point upgrade making you lose is enough to scar me for life. *coughWARSCYTHEcough* only the lord and pariahs get warscythes....and it's 10 pts, not 5...... and tau arn't as overpowered as you might think. Sure they have awsome guns, but a) they have a BS of 3, meaning they hit only half the time, instead of 2/3 of the time (like Necrons or Marines) and b) They suck in CC. I'd rather my Necron Warriors go CC then Tau Fire Warriors, at least they stand a chance against anyhting with disrupt fields. still, any weapon that can punch a hole through a monolith scares me *cough*railgun*cough* Im Dark Eldar, they rape me, no matter how bad the list xd but oh yeah, the rail guns....*shudder* and yes, i know about the pariah and the lord thing >_< theres also that damned Rez-orb. Good god I hate that bloody thing! However, becuase of my Necron playing "friend's" stupidity, I've shot him down so many times. He's tried cheating with that a lot.

I've been thinking of doing a Tau "Auxiliary Infantry" army.
Basicly, it would consist mostly of Kroot and Gue'vesa, supported by Pathfinders, Battle suits, and a Hammerhead. Not really sure how well it would work, but I think it would be interesting to play.

Definitely interesting, but probably not very effective. @ Sgt_OBrien: Razorbacks aren't good luck if you're playing Chaos xp

One thing in the Tau I dislike, they Always shoot you down, there is nothing that can outshoot them, and they decimate squads in a turn, at least their bad in CC. And The DE players, do you use Raiders to get to them faster, or use any Hellions, Talos, or Grosteques. Those are a short term help.

Suchu it would suck... horribly... what HQ are you planning to use? I was thinking of an etheral escorted by battle suits. I plan on buying the codex tomarrow, so I'll look at what's availible (and legal) then. If you've ever read any of William C. Dietz's Legion of the Damned novels, that's kinda what I'm aiming for. For those who haven't, look up the Battle of Camerone. That's more or less the attitude this army will take.

I don't think its legal as if I remeber correctley you need one frie warrior squad for each kroot squad.

Haven't had a chance to read the codex fully yet.
HQ would be an Aun, and a shaso with drones and bodyguards. Haven't decided on what sort of to give the suits.
Elites will of course be Crisis suits. I'm concidering having one squad of stealth suits. Agian, kit for the suits is still undecided.
For troop, I was thinking having a single Kroot kindred, two firewarrior squads, and two squads of Gue'vesa.
Fast attack will consist of One pathfinder squad, hounds for the Kroot, and possibly some drones.
Fast attack will be made up of a Broadside team, and a hammerhead.
At this point, I'm still going over the codex.
I also have some stuff to finish for my Chaos army and the Darkened Suns, so I have plenty of time to sort things out.
