Hello everyone, I play Eldar and have always been interesting in an all suit Tau army.
I have been working of some conversions to use Wraithgaurd w/ jetpacks as Crisis suits, Broadsides and an Iridium Commander:
Glenn's GW Models: Wraith construct Tau alliesFor my Eldar list I will have a Farseer on jetbike, 2 units of 6 jetbikes w/ shuricannons, 2 units of 7 Avengers in Wave Serpents & 2 Fire Prisms. I will also have a defense line w/ Comms Relay for the jetbikes.
Here is what I want to add:
Iridium armour Commander
(Wraithlord model)---2 Missile pods, Drone Controller, Target lock & Puretide Engram
2 units of 10 Fire Warriors
(Wraith drones) behind the Defence line. These guys are really just to take advantage of the Supporting Fire rule and claim objectives.
2 Crisis suits w/ 2 M.pods each. Possibly deep striking, or as a body guard for the Farseer (who will be casting Prescience & Guide onto Fire Warriors or Fire Prisms).
2 Broadsides w/ Missiles & Target locks
---4 Missile Drones.
----------------------------------------------------
The idea is for the Commander & Broadsides to deploy in the center, flanked by the Fire Warriors. That will give me 4 Missile shots from the Commander at 1 target, 8 Missile shots using his BS at another target, and each Broadside getting all their Twin-linked shots at 2 more targets. So I can use this 1 unit to target 1-4 separate targets and they all get Tank Hunter or Monster Hunter.
That should provide a high priority target to take some pressure off of the Serpents, Prisms & Jetbikes
