« on: November 17, 2005, 06:07:08 PM »
ok, im lending a friend my list and it needs to be ready for Friday/Saturday, problem is i cant get it to the 1500 point mark and need some help. Heres what ive done so far (many upgrades on some things to fill points, some points may be wrong due to my lost codex)

HQ: Etheral. 50pts
Elites: 2 crisis suits with plasma, missile, multi.130pts

Heavy Support: Broadside with tl plasma and multi. 95pts
Heavy Support: Hammerhead with Railgun, SMS, multi and decoy launchers. 175pts

Should be 1191 Points or so atm, and i dont know what to add. I have one fish and around 3 stealths i could add but i really doubt that would bring me up to 1500 and i wont be able to get to a games workshop to buy more so please guys help me.

Well you could upgrade one of your crisis sutis to shasl'o and make some other crisis suits his bodyguard and give the kroot a shaper.  You could add in your steaths and devilfish.  You could also add in seeker missles and give your steath team and firewarriors makerlights and a HW target lock.

Simple, get another full Fire Warrior squad, and get a group of Stealth Suits. If you have even more points left over, which I don't think you should, perhaps a Devilfish for one of your Fire Warriors would be good. Or another HQ, like a Shas'El Commander.


I started playing Tau three years ago, and now I'm dating a supermodel. Coincidence? I think not.

Hopefully this short post will be of some use to you....

Add the Fish certsinly, adds lots of tactical options and more models should always be the preferred option in this scenario over possibly-less-useful upgrades. Infact, while you're there just add the stealths too, they're great! Good distraction and whittle down squads as well.

Although Im not usually a fan of bonding, espwically with an ethereal present, keep it if it fills the points. Remember you can add more wounds to that kroot squad in the form of a Shaper, and if youre still low then make one of your Elite suits into a 2nd HQ choice.
