Is it worth it to take 2 Shas'vre bodyguards or to leave your commander as an independent Character? I have been toying with the idea but I am not sure which one is more effective?
-
Actually a Shas'o with Shas'vre assistants are the only even mediocre Heavy CC squads that the Tau has.
So It can be worth it.
*has been toying with the idea of equipping a Shas'o body guard with Plasmaguns/Flamers and using them as a shock squad*
-
Yeah I was thinking of taking a Shas'o w/Fusion Blaster, Flamer, Multi-tracker, Drone Controller +2 Gun Drones. And maybe some Shas'vre with the same config. Flamer and Plasma Rifle. That might work.
-
I think that what they lack in numbers and initiative they make up in toughness and power.
-
Yeah I just fought against the Necrons and only 1 Shas'o w/ Fusion Blaster, Missile Pod, 2 Gun Drones, Multi-tracker took out a 10 man Necron squad on his own. With a Flamer and 2 other partners with Flamers they could do some serious damage. ;D
-
Yeah, against Necrons and Orks you don't really suffer from his puny I3(which is infact THE worst initiative ever seen on a HQ)
-
Something like this might be effective:
Shas'o w/ Fusion Blaster, Flamer, Shield Generator, Target Lock, Drone Controller + 2 Gun Drones. 142
Shas'vre (2) w/ Twin-linked Plasma Rifles, Flamers, Multi-trackers. 150
That would form a good force that can fire some heavy firepower into the enemy before they charge with their 3 Flamers! ;D
-
I'd say shift that target-lock for a multitracker and add a couple of more gundrones. Hardwire the bodguards as well. Every extra piece of firepower counts. And Gundrones for 11p a piece(dronecontroller included) is just a bargain!
-
i think that it if worth it having the bodygaurds.
;D
-
In a 1000 point battle though I do not want to go much over what I have already spent on an enormously large HQ (292 points!) that will probably be killed by the end of the game.
-
the body gaurd are well worth it, I woun't go with out.
mind are configure as follow:
Shas'o: fusion blaster, missile pod, shield generator, hw: multi-tacker, drone contoller plus 2 shield drones, target lock.
both vre: fusion blaster, missile pod, multi-tracker, hw: target lock
-
Yeah I have just put together the 3 Crisis suits and they look sweet! I have this:
Shas'o w/ Fusion Blaster, Flamer, Shield Generator, Multi-tracker, and Drone Controller + 2 Gun Drones.
Shas'vre (2) w/ Twin-linked Plasma Rifles, Flamers, Multi-trackers.
I love them and they look great!
-
I have a shas'o with 2 body guards configured as so (and bonded):
shas'o - missle pod - plasma rifle - multi tracker - drone controller (hw) - target lock - shield drone (1)
shas'vre - missle pod - plasma rifle - multi tracker
They are used for longer range shooting than the ones posted above. I give them the long range stuff to keep them away from that pesky hth, but they seem pretty effective. The flamer/fusion blaster combo is pretty effective as well.
