Uhh, each of my crissis suit's Weapons are interchange-able, becuase the fact that i can just pop the pieces on, no magnets, no nothing, I have a groove where the guns are supposed to go, and there is a little tab sitting out, and then you just pop it into place... There really small tho, but it works quite well for me...

I just played my first game with the Tau and I was pretty upset. I think they are overpowered as I feared. I played about 1200 points and by the end I had only lost my kroot and a devilfish against the tyranids. My opponent has sound strategy, the board had plenty of terrain and I didn't have particualrlygood luck, so I think this might be a common occurance. How has everyone else faired with the new Tau?

Heh, something interesting happend last night, i had a 600 point battle. But we used the rules for a 500 point battle, but any ways, me and my brother, he used 600 points worth of my tau army and i used 600 of mine.
My unit list.
Shas'O
(BG)Body Guard(All got missle pods, multi tracker, plasma rifle.)
6 XV-15 Stealth suits.
12 Fireworriors 6 carbines and 6 rifles 2 gun drones and drone controller.(They did no good for me gonk )
Broad Side, Multi Tracker
My brother's list
Shas'O
BG
12 Fire worriors, Drone controller, 2 gun drones.
12 Fire worriors, Drone controller, 2 gun drones.
Broad Side, Multi Tracker.
And that was it... i totally dominated with my Suicide Stealth teams, course they died, becuase i forgot about there stealth ability... wow, how could i have done that... But i won by 379 points, and he got 275 points by the end of the 6th turn. I kept poping around the corner, wich really pissed em off, becuase my HQ and body guard obliterated one of his team of Fire Warriors.

Question:
say you have a battle suit with one twin-linked weapon system and then a single weapon... like:
twin-linked fusion blasters and then a missle pod.
then add a hard wired multi tracker. could i fire both the twin-linked system AND the single system?
I think i can, but im not to sure.

I think i can, but im not to sure. Twinlinked counts as a single weapon system I do belive. So yes you can. Dosent take too much mind power to pull the trigger and fires out a wave of fusion energy with one hand and press the button to fire off a missle pod

Even if you give it the advance stabilization system, it has very limited mobility. Dont get me wrong, i do use broadsides, in fact i have 6 of them, but they just dont move fast enough sometimes. know what i mean?
