I've had tons of fun and success with my Tau for many years. With the advent of 6th, I hope to continue the trend. What follows is essentially my 2500 Tau list that I was using in 5th with great success, modified for 6th ed. Would love to hear people's opinions on it.
Shas'o w/ Plasma, Missile, MT, Stim Injector
2x Bodyguards w/ Plasma, Missile, TA, HW MT
Shas'o w/ Plasma, Fusion, MT
2x Bodyguards w/ Plasma, Fusion, TA, HW MT
2x XV8 w/ TL Missile, TA (x5)
6x Fire Warriors (x2)
11x Kroot
12x Fire Warriors w/Shas'ui
6x Pathfinders (x2)
Devilfish w/ Sensor Spines (x2)
XV88 Team Leader w/ Plasma, TA, HW MT, HW DC, 2x Shield Drone, HW BSF (x2)
2x XV88 w/ Plasma, MT (x2)
2x Bastion
2499 pts
I split what used to be 3x3 XV8 Missile teams into 5x2 teams due to Target Lock getting screwed. I also replaced the Hammerhead I ran with 2 bastions. The idea is to put the two bastions next to each other, place a Broadside team in each with pathfinders on the battlements and keep the rest of the army bouncing behind the two buildings. The 2 6-man Fire Warrior teams hop in the Devilfish to go grab objectives. I've played a couple games against bastions and found them to be annoying to deal with, so thought I should start using them, too. And I deal with a lot of Terminators at the local stores, which is why I have as much plasma as I do. Any thoughts?
