However, Kroot have the power of economy going for them and in the trees, they are just as tough. so it depends on what kind of terrain you see a lot of. <br /><br />There are other articles on here regarding the Tau Empire. You should explor it a bit.Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-66060669517552456322016-10-28T09:31:26.120-07:002016-10-28T09:31:26.120-07:00That's awesome!

I'm currently building a small 200 pt Tau Kill Team consisting of a a Steatsuit squad, and either Fire Warriors or Kroot (I have both so I can switch them out).TAU Noobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-74379663028268690942013-04-26T13:35:48.959-07:002013-04-26T13:35:48.959-07:00Doesn't get any sweeter.

On paper anything can look good, but when you see it in action and actually calculate in the terrain and such... You realize how "all around" good this force is. My "tanks" are no more powerful nor more accurate than a Direct Fire Basilisk would be... Just twice as expensive and lasts longer. It's the synergy of the units that causes the head ache. They fight as ONE, as it should be for Tau.<br /><br />My newest list I want to try out is going to get some playing time. It has no Riptides. So we will see a totally different look. Reports will be forthcoming. So keep watching!<br /><br />Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-51041443233112102442013-04-26T11:05:28.718-07:002013-04-26T11:05:28.718-07:00Moments like that morale check is what makes games...Moments like that morale check is what makes games of 40k so great. I once won a game by rolling for my 2d6 jetbike movement in the assault phase and needed a 7 to get within range to claim an objective that would win me the primary and as you can guess I did :) moments you talk about after many times over :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098743162209825371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-11507714240114561582013-04-26T00:12:38.681-07:002013-04-26T00:12:38.681-07:00So it would seem.

Fire Warriors were generally the bait, although I did also in two games use the Devilfish's as bait. Either way generally this was the plan.<br /><br />The two Kroot units always outflanked. The Pathfinders either scout and moved flat out to get to enemy deployment zones to use the recon drone on their board edge OR were outflanking themselves. They were IMPRESSIVE as outflankers though and once I realized it, I kept doing it.<br /><br />Crisis teams were treated as 100% expendable deep striking units whose job was to simply slow the enemies roll. Sometimes I DS'd them behind in order to get the enemy to go the wrong way or walk into the outflanks. Other times they were critically important for zapping a critical target like a Land Raider or Mephiston when he got out in the open. Either way, I did not bemoan their fate.<br /><br />So that was the strategy. I overcharged the Novas Reactor at every opportunity without hesitation. I was generally on both sides of the enemy in most games and as you can see by the scores, the results were convincing.<br /><br />The Blood Angel game where there weere lots of Deep strikers was EXTREMELY close and I could easily have lost that game. It came down to a morale check to hold position on the objective after a melee. Literally hinged on the bravery of my Tau (and thats not normally ideal, hehehe).<br /><br />Fun.<br /><br /><br /><br />Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-40464102166217578452013-04-24T23:12:57.359-07:002013-04-24T23:12:57.359-07:00Simply brilliant.... :)
