Im planning on picking up the battleforce near teh end of this month so i want a list down so i know what i should assemble and how. I already know the basic in's and out's of tau.
[NOTE: These models will be the only models i own so very limited modifications please.]
This list needs some decent ironing out and its a bad list so far but what can you expect from one battleforce?
My main enemy at this moment is necrons but hes only at a low point cost. He has 20 or so warriors, a lord, destroyer and 3 scarab swarms. I only added one anti-tank element in this list because i wont be coming up againced much armour yet. I already own one box of fire warriors hence the extra gun drones and squad of FW's (Duh
)
Sa'cea 27th mechanized.
Shas'el - 102 pts
Missile pod, Plasma Rifle, Positional Relay, HW Multi tracker.
3 Stealth Suits - 92 pts.
- 2 Burst Cannons, 1 Fusion blaster
12 Firewarriors - 210 pts (Pulse Rifles)
- Devilfish, Multi Tracker, Gun drones [90]
12 Firewarriors - 120 pts (Pulse Rifles.)
12 Kroot - 84 pts
8 Gun drones - 96 pts
704 Pts.
I plan on deep striking the gun drones where i need them and using the positoinal relay to get them on target, they will be mainly for harrassing / tieing up a squad of warriors. The devil fish will most likley be going up againced a squad of warriors aswell and i plan on testing out a FoF tactic. The shas'el and the stealth suits will be there to try and take out the destroyer early and then focus on getting rid of the lord with the res-orb. The scarabs pose a threat though as in past encounters with him they always end up tieing up somthing i really need. and they deep strike in the worst spots for me also.
I think i can take this list and play with it effectivly and the scarabs will be my only short commings. Perhaps he scatters bad on the deep strike and i get a round of rapid fireing (I wish)
Constructive critisism please. Note that i am using the crisis suit you get from the battleforce box as my commander so i wont get any special issue weapons that you get in a commander box.
