I played in a tournament the other day and got my backside handed to me by a tau army. Could anyone give me some advice on how to beat them. I play Kult of Speed.
His army list was something like this
8 fire warriors in devilfish with burst cannon and smart missile system
8 fire warriors in devilfish with burst cannon and smart missile system
8 fire warriors in devilfish with burst cannon and smart missile system
8 fire warriors in devilfish with burst cannon and smart missile system
1 broadside
command squad (3 crisis suits with commander all with missile pods and something else)
2 hammerheads with railguns (of course)
6 stealth suits
The anoying thing is that he gave every person/tank/battlesuit he could target array (+1 ballistic skill) Thats the last thing you want a tau army hitting on 3's or 2's
Any help is greatly appreciated
by the way it was fusion blasters with his command squads
Thanks for the tip
My army list was
KOS warboss on bike with power claw, eavy armour and bionik bonce
7 tankbustas with 3 rokkies, mega armoured nob in wartrukk with rokkie, GR (grot rigger) and AP (armour plates)
9 trukk boyz in wartrukk with rokkie AP and GR
7 trukk boyz in wartrukk with rokkie AP and GR
10 burna boyz with mek, kustom force field in wartrukk with rokkie, AP and GR
9 trukkboyz with mega armoured nob in wartrukk with rokkie, AP and GR
6 warbikes
Fighta Bommer
Battle wagon with lobba, GR, AP and 5 bolt on big shootas
17 skarboyz
I rolled a 1 for my fighta bommer and stunned 1 deveilfish but stunned my battlewagon and burna boyz (I wasnt pleased)
He got first turn and blew up my battle wagon and tankbustas and stunned one trukkboyz unit leaving me with only 2 trukks (the other was disabled) I tried to concentrate on one side and used the width of the table. My bikes managed not even to glance. Waste of my first turn.
From there he shot me to bits. I only got my warboss in to combat who killed the stealthsuits but was gunned down by 50 million burst cannons. The game was all over by turn 4.
