Doing some research for a friend who plays Tau. He wants to incorporate some allies into his list to counter the Tau sub-par melee abilities and he was thinking some sort of Chaos group, either demons or marines. Whats people's opinions on either of these?

Is he picking Chaos because he likes that idea out of his list of options?

Is he picking Chaos because he likes that idea out of his list of options? Pretty much. He would have gone Chaos in the first place but he decided he liked the range of the Tau compared to Guard or Marines. |

He probably didnt like the idea of painting a swarmy army like Orks. Then again, I've heard from my tau friend that Kroot are now basically useless since he can get Orks now which are just plain better. As to your question...personally I'd go for Khorne Berserkers and a Daemon Prince, but I don't really know Daemons well enough to form an opinion.

I would not say Orks are straight out better than kroot, they are better in different areas, and remember, as FC doesn't give an I bonus, Orks are going to be going after quite a lot of opponents, which does mean that their line breaking effectiveness has dropped.

Tau allying with Chaos is pretty damn unfluffy, though... He should come up with a really good story to justify it.  |
