Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dosnt matter how exspencive if you can play them right and use your remaining points wisley, Ive been playing them sense they cam out

Uhh buddy, read over the codex there is some kind of special ability or rule for them and dont use profanity its, just insulting to people that are

Wow.... you guys really took that wrong. I don't know if it is a difference in terminology or what but what I understand as one thing must be very different from you.

But that does not matter....

I was looking at the codex and I had a friend explain to me this little thing about the markerlights. You use the pathfinders where you can give them the markerlights and it improves the accuracy of the fire warrior teams and other stuff also. It will get them a +2 to hit anyone marklighted. I forgot the exact way but he showed me how.

The Vespids, strategy was explained to me by someone where GW probably was thinking you move them out fleet them, Then next turn move them close and shoot. After looking at their stats and mainly their horrible leadership.... uh-uh. The only thing good about them is the fact that they have space marine killer guns(which are assault if I remeber right).

The suit thing was a joke everyone at my local store was referring them to as. The fact that you can blow the suit and deal a whole lot of damage is amazing. I mean you get the ordanance blast template and you deal S8 ap- wounds against everyone under it. You find yourself fighting a mass army like guard or Nids, or even you find your command team assaulted in every direction and, Boom!

The sniper teams are really in my opinion but I am still a very big fan of the hammerhead. Comes handy when you really need them the most.

That ethereal, I don't know his name and I just remember everyone refering to him as the space pope so i just went along with that name.

Also, I am not complaing on how great or bad they got, I am actually trying to say id that this is one of the few times you will ever see GW go over and army and not make it totally broken, or unrepairably bad. They made them kind of in the "just right" category,(unlike the dwarves...)

well the owner at my gamesworkshop sent his order 2 days earlier than they were supposed to so we got 6 tau battle boxes and a good amount of codexes so i already have a box set and codex while every one else in my area has to wait for gamesworkshop to get their gears in order and fix all the shipments.

I just got my copy, the first few pages didnt change mutch, ehh the Vespid Stingwings arnt so great but the new Commander Shadow sun will be, im buying the battle pack tomorrow just to expand a little, not to mention that all of the new units dont come out for a month or two.

Magnets are not exactly a new idea, Red. I've already kitted out all of my suits with magnetic hardpoints. Though if youl want a slightly better quality magnet than those cheap, bendy ones, I point you towards my source: K&J Magnetics. The smallest disc magnet they carry fits right into the slots on the Crisis arms and shoulders. In addition, since you'd be mounting these in pairs, with pairs on the weapons, the polarity will keep the weapons facing one way instead of spinning so that the heavy bit faces down.

For a cheaper solution to Crisis suit versatility, Blue-Tac in the arms.

What? What are you talking about? The "spinning" I'm talking about has nothing to do with magnetic repulsion. It's that most magnets don't lock together in a single position, and if there's a weight attached to them, they have a tendency to spin while attached until the heaviest portion of it's load points downward. That's a detriment when attempting to dramatically point gun barrels. With the pairs of rare earth disc magnets, you have two magnets of opposite polarity side by side like so: OO The polarities likes so: (N)(S) On the weapon, you have the opposite configuration: (S)(N) Since each magnet grabs the other in the pair, it keeps the weapon from rotating and holds it facing the right direction.
