The semi-decent list of squishy tau goodness

[brimlock11th]

What do you think of this list guys?
The thing that bothers me is that it only has 12 fire warriors,12 blue, squishy fellows! I'm used to my 130 margoes charging and eating stuff with bayonettes and flamers so I thought I'd run the exact opposite of that list for a change. Here it is!


Shas’el – Plasma rifle, missile pod, targeting array, hard-wired multi-tracker

Hammerhead – Railgun, disruption pod

Broadside – leader, target lock

It's 999 points if i'm correct, and I think it's just grand!

Any advice? Thanks

Looks pretty nice to me, has a nice 'elite' feel. Do your fire warriors have Pulse Rifles or Carbines? I would personally recommend rifles for the long range firepower, especially if they haven't got a transport.

My only concern is your ability to claim objectives with two very fragile squads. It might be worth finding the points to get them a Devilfish each to better preserve them.

The warriors use rifle. Once I expand the list to 1500 points or higher I'll add transports and some more meatshields for objective grabbing!

Cheers!

I make it to be 1013Pts, and I believe that your broadsides will need a support option, so I would recommend removing the broadside team leader, and give one a target lock, the other a Blacksun filter, then give one of the 'ELs a twin-linked missile pod with Target array and Hard wired target lock, that should give you a points total of 997, and you can give out a blacksun filter to fill out those last 3 points. Other than that bit of list alteration, I don't use suits very much, but I would say use Jump shoot Jump as much as possible, and I'd keep those Fire warriors back, and in cover, holding an objective if it's placed well, and then mop up armies with those hammerheads.

Glad to be of some help sir.

Any chance of some pictures when you get going?

The pics will come up in the future. I'll do a project blog kinda thing. I reckon it'll be pretty interesting to do
