Life and Warhammer 40k

                
My last post was about the Tournament this Saturday that I am attending with the Tau Empire. Since then, I have been busy number-crunching and building my Tau army list. As this tournament doesn't recquire the models to be painted, it allows me to play without worrying about my half-finished army(half-finished due to moving, studies, and work). I plan to post some pics of my army up soon, but be warned, I am not the best painter, and younger siblings subtract a certain number of years from the lifespans of my painting equipment! But anyways, here is my Tau army list that I will be taking to the Crazy Tournament.

As you can see, this army is made to be mobile, fast, and to benefit from long distances. Tactics to come later!

  1. You have mobility, but not the firepower I would expect. You will have to be careful to use your mobility to focus your firepower while minimizing enemy return firepower. Don't forget hammerhead (as well as pihranas are great late game objective contesters).

    Good luck for the tournament. I look forward to reading how you get on.

  2. Thanks for the tips. It isn't as much firepower as I would like, either, but it should do OK for the missions. If it weren't for the missions, I'd be bringing a LOT more firepower.
