Ninja tau list

[gamma016]

This list was inspired by something I read about tau on another fourm called ninja tau. The idea is to keep as many units in reserve until turn four, then bam!! Full army to cut your opponent to bits with.

HQ:
Commander shas'o
- hard wired drone controller
-- shield drone x2
- hard wired multi tracker
- hard wired black sun filter
- positioning relay
- missile pods
- plasma rifle

Elite:
stealth suite team x3

stealth suite team x3

crisis suite team
-flamer, plasma rifle, multi tracker x 2
- flamer, fusion blaster, multi tracker, target array, team leader

Troops:
Fire warriors x12
- proton grenades

Fire warriors x12
- proton grenades

Kroot x10

Fast attack:
Gun drones x4

Path finders
-devilfish
-- disruption pod
-- flechette discharger
- pulse rifles and market lights x 6
- rail rifles x2
- proton grenades

Heavy support:
Broadside team x2
- targeting array
- targeting array, drone controller, team leader
-- market light drone

The commander, stealth suites, pathfinders and gun drones will all start on the board. Turn two and three I will attempt to bring in a broadside team on a 2+. Everything else comes in on turn four. Kroot will be out flanking. Everythin on the board will have a decent save, whether it is a cover or armor save.

If you plan to bring in the broadsides, you should give them the ASS. 'Back that ((0)(0)) up! A shield drone or 2 would be more useful than the marker drone.

[Empirespy]

I'd keep the broadsides on first turn, give the blacksun to the broadside team leader, and deploy them somewhere they have good lines of vision. This way you can take out some of their heavy stuff and transports, so they don't get too close.

Otherwise, seams like a good list, don't let anyone tell you the grenades are useless, stealth is something people forget from the change over from 5th to 6th

I see your point with the a.s.s. so I did some re configuring.

Broadsides x2
- a.s.s. x2

Stealth suites x3

-- drone controller
--- marker light drone

I figure I still need the marker lights, but I would prefer the broadsides to stay in reserve so they don't die turn one.
