bit of a change (army list: 1800)
« on: February 4, 2008, 08:20:37 AM »
i usually play a fairly static list, but i feel like a change so im going to make a mobile list for a change because i think it could be really fun FoFing all over the board.

so please help me out as im new to mobile warfare.

just an all rounder list...i think?

HQ:

shas'el = 107
-fireknife
-targetting array
-stimulant injector

ELITE:

6 stealth suits = 195
-shas'vre
-bonding knife


6 stealth suits = 190
-team leader
-bonding knife

2 xv8 suits = 99
-fireknife
-shield drone
-hw drone controller

TROOP:

12 fire warriors = 215
-team leader
-bonding knife
-devilfish

12 fire warriors = 215
-team leader
-bonding knife
-devilfish

10 kroot = 70

10 kroot = 70

FAST:

8 pathfinders = 176
-2 rail rifles
-devilfish

8 drones = 96

8 drones = 96

HEAVY:

hammerhead = 165
-railgun
-smart missiles
-decoy launchers

sky ray = 155
-smart missiles
-decoy launcer
-tergetting array

You said mobile list, and yet you don’t include multi-trackers on the vehicles?

Scrap the stims, he can easily hide from anything nasty coming his way.

-bonding knife

Downgrade the ‘vre to a team leader. You shouldn’t want the WS upgrade, this is Tau remember. Use the burst cannon :)

Quote
2 xv8 suits = 99
-fireknife
-shield drone
-hw drone controller

Mispriced by a fair bit. I’d recommend scrapping the Drone as well, it’s a small team and since they’ll be at rage, JSJ should be easy enough. If you do keep it though, try and squeeze in a bonding knife, plus that team leader upgrade you didn’t list.

Quote
12 fire warriors = 215
-team leader
-bonding knife
-devilfish

Scrap bonding, you got the mobility to avoid anything particularly nasty. You say you want a mobile force, right? Then you’ll be moving, enough to get SMF. Get Decoys so increase their survivability, it’s a steal for its price. Next up, it’ll be a waste of a burst cannon since you can’t shoot it while having SMF at the same time, so chucking on a multi-tracker helps out too.

Quote
8 pathfinders = 176
-2 rail rifles
-devilfish

Scrap the rifles, it’s a fragile unit and drawing attention though direct kills is counterproductive. That said, an ‘ui can help keep them standing, and giving him a hard-wired target lock gives some targeting versatility. Devilfish as above.

Quote
hammerhead = 165
-railgun
-smart missiles
-decoy launchers

Right now you have a glorified Predator. Multi-trackers are practically a must-have, ditto to decoys. Decoys work best when there are only glances, since that’s only when it kicks in, which boosts your survivability and at the same time mobility. Chuck in a target lock as well to avoid wasting one of the weapons.

Quote
sky ray = 155
-smart missiles
-decoy launcer
-tergetting array

Ditto.

Do note that you have only one dedicated anti-tank weapon, and that can be neutralised easy enough.

Derikari, he's got the seekers off of the skyray too..not just the railgun for AT.

I said dedicated. Any weapon in the Tau arsenal, bar the CIB, can be an ad-hoc anti-tank weapon if need be. I personally don’t see seekers as a dedicated anti-tank weapon.

9 kroot = 63

Illegal, squad is too small.

Your Hammerhead and Sky Ray really do need multi-trackers and target locks to be the most effective they can be. Decoys, multi-tracker and target locks are considered standard for a good reason.

If they're jet pack infantry. If they're taken as wargear, they are the same as the unit they're attached to.

List looks better. Nice to see you added Krootsies :D
