here is my set up, i opted out of the third hammerhead tank.
this is just what i have to get to know what im doing playing tau i will eventually add some body guards and other units, i might be picking up some oop tau stealth suits just to have an elite unit.
Crisis Suit Commander shas'o 75pts
Multi Tracker 5pts
Twin Linked Fusion Blaster 18pts
shield generator 20pts
Gun Drone x2 20pts
Troops - 301
Fire Warrior Squad 1 -
7 Fire Warriors armed with Pulse Rifles and photon grenades 77pts
1 shas'ui armed with pulse rifle and marker light 31pts
Fire Warrior Squad 2 -
5 Fire Warriors armed with Pulse Carbines and EMP grenades 65pts
1 shas'ui armed with Pulse Carbine and marker light 33pts
1 devilfish transport armed with flechette discharger and disruption pod 95pts
Heavy Support - 320
Hammerhead Tank 1 -
armed with a railgun,two burst cannons and flechette discharger 160pts
Hammerhead Tank 2 -
armed with a railgun,two burst cannons and flechette discharger 160pts
Here's the Shas'el I ran
targetting array
Cyclic Ion
Plasma Rifle
Hard wired multi-tracker
Cheap, and will mulch MEq.
You're light on S6-S8 weaponry. for your third heavy slot, I'd recommend a sky-ray, and get yourself some pathfinders for sure... in 5th ed, they're the best thing the Tau have going for them. You can deny cover saves at will in an edition where cover is the biggest thing that keeps stuff alive. Also, the flechette dischargers are generally a waste of 10 points, in your list, 30... You could get 3 more fire warriors for that, or a stealth suit.
The problem Tau face in this edition is that they're over-priced, so you need to take bare bones stuff to get on the table and compete with the newer codexes. | | Back to top | |

One of my armies at the NOVA Open.
Just starting to convert a Draigo-wing army out of some old terminators.
@Agerstone, If you want to run regular vanilla marines and do well consider running a list based around Vulkan. Personally I find Salamanders to be the only sort of vanilla marine list that can compete with the newer, shinier MEQ codexes. Heres a good sample list:
Librarian Null Zone, The Avenger 100
Vulkan 190
5 Terminators Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield 200
10 Tactical Marines Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Sergeant Combi, Las Plas Razor 260
10 Tactical Marines Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Sergeant Combi, Las Plas Razor 260
5 Scouts Camo Cloaks, Missile Launcher 100
Dreadnought Twin Linked Autocannons 125
Dreadnought Twin Linked Autocannons 125
Land Speeder Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer 70
Land Speeder Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer 70
2 Attack Bikes Multi-Melta 100
Predator Lascannon Sponsons 120
Land Raider Redeemer Extra Armor, Multi-Melta 275
So the terminators and the HQ's hop in the raider for a nice deathstar and counter assault. The list has 9 Meltas, 5 of which are Multi-Meltas. It has 3 Missile Launchers, 6 Lascannons and 8 twin-linked Autocannon shots. It has very nice vehicle saturation, it can out shoot many armies and it will also hold up in combat with the Terminator squad being able to smash just about any unit in the game. I also think Vulkan is a ton of fun to play as. Give it a try! You can proxy out a bunch of the stuff | | Back to top | |

here it is all together so far
1x Captain Tycho conversion
1x Lemartes guardian of the lost
1x Sanguinary Priest conversion/Chain Sword/ Storm Bolter
5x Death Company/Jump Packs/Bolt Pistols/Chain Swords
6x Tactical Marines/Sergeant with Power Fist/Plasma Pistol
1x Death Company Dreadnought/ Blood Talons/Melta/Storm Bolter/Magna Grapple
1x Drop Pod/Missle Launcher instead of Storm Bolter
i was short a few shoulder pads so i used some arm armor from the dreadnought to make shoulder pads that look like old heresy style shields, i used these for the tac marine sergeant and the sanguinary priest. | | Back to top | |

yeah it is wicked nice im prob going to end up getting him sooner or later but a free lemartes as compared to the 18 dollar one was more appealing for now haha. Astorath is a really nice mini as well. | | Back to top | |

Currently, I work two jobs and the bruv I was playing with moved away. SOOO, the point of all of that is I want to unload my 40k thangs to recoup a little of the cost Ive spent. I bought a good amount of used items from a Games Workshop "garage sale" day, where you can buy used items from other players, but it has to go into GWS gift cards to further better the store. Win win for everyone. I bought essentially a 2k CSM army and would like to sell it for a very cost friendly price. I have tons of basic units, Khrone berzerkers, a unit of Plague marines, a land raider, a demon prince, Abbadon and some other lords, and a slew of other shit. I also have the newest instruction manual, and the CSM codex which are both in great shape. When I bought some of the items they were painted and I went through the trouble of simply green stripping the paint. I have since stripped most of the bases and gave all units a base coat of black GWS spray primer. I was going to go with a dark army color, Nurgle style type idea, hence the black primer. All items are in pretty good shape and I will add in all the extra arms, guns, legs and what not from all the extra units I have. I also have some unused GWS brushes I might throw in for free if someone takes this off my hands.
Anyone interested email me at grosserthangross@gmail.com and I can get you a list of every piece I have in the army and send photos. I dont log into the board that often and probably wouldnt notice a PM as soon as I can respond to an email. Anyone just starting off would benefit well from this because you could play a game right out of the box with this set. 100% no rip off bullshit. Thanks for reading.

whats up with that crazt embargo on models i keep reading about
Everyone here use to order from the uk from stores like wayland and maelstrom because it was at least 50% cheaper then buying from a gws here so gws put a ban on all euro stores selling to us, trying to force us back to their stores..
No way in hell I'm paying $62AU ($66US) for a tactical squad, so I'm stuck waiting for wayland to get their loophole in place which they said would be up months ago  | | Back to top | |

I feel like GW are going down a road that will see them loose alot of players and customers of warhammer and the like. After all the failcast shenanigans i dont really think they will be improving their game anytime soon.
The PrivateerPress stuff is really nice all metal or resin minis i feel like im getting more bang for my buck with them. The games are more user friendly and with all the hate towards GW right now im seeing alot of people pick up Warmachine. | | Back to top | |

I really like the old 2nd edition style of wolves and the 13th company in the eye of terror dex. So, I plan on writing up my own fluff about my army, a lost company led by a crazed rune priest obsessed with the hunt for Russ, the end of times and with the tales of Bjorn The Fell Handed. Not so much renegades but more just a group who's fell apart from the chapter in their single minded search for the primarch. They're just left to roam the galaxy, preparing for Ragnarok and scavenging equipment and supplies where they can.
