MOTRE TAU CONTENT!

I finally broke down and played 10th, and have taken back my issues with what I saw. I used 2 Piranhas and yes, they are amazing little piss ants that can be an absolute menace on the field!

[@startingfromlevelone9510]

Pirhana’s never make my list cuts. In auxiliar detachment they’re taking up spot for auxiliaries (which I already feel like are a bit of a tax) in mont’ka I’d rather take more fire power, same for ret. I don’t really play Kauyon so I don’t have much to say about there I’d be curious to see where you’re squeezing them in example lists

[@baejus]

That's what happens to them any time I consider them in my lists as well

[@nomassgoer8350]

I run 2, and they are great for everything listed in the video

[@PatrickCook-Ray-j2b]

Same, they're my favorite for blocking, actions, and fast moving shenanigans. And every once in a while the seekers actually kill something.

[@Vimes839]

3/5 of the top Tau LVO lists were running at least two. Kauyon, RetCadre, and Montka all covered.

[@evantumminello3283]

Great review! Your insight for Tau units is the best on the web. I will consider sneaking in my Pirhana I to my next list builds. Thanks!

[@Based_Moose]

I've been including these in my recent aux cadre lists and they've been quite impactful as earlier game blockers/harassers alongside some Kroot hounds.

[@ryanhall78]

I never make a list without atleast 2 even at 1000pts. They are amazing at scoring secondary points and for a nasty alpha strike on people's vehicles that they thought where safe behind cover.. The Drone harassment will very rarely do anything but when it does work it can really mess with your opponents plans. In montka they also are great for triggering the retaliation strategy against whatever kills them.

[@syphonfillter]

How is it a 38 inch melta threat? Movement of 14 and range of 12 is 26. Even max advanced roll makes that 32 (and they’d need to be in montka)

[@InvasiveWargaming]

Yeah the math on that doesn’t work, does it. I think I meant 9” scout + 14” move + 6” advance + 6” melta range = 35” in montka

[@Sykdude]

My buddy plays parking lot Guard, so I've found that piranha are really great at alpha striking and tank busting.

[@EmonWBKstudios]

I run 2, but with burst, not melta, perhaps I need to fix that...

[@Fofostarfighter]

Lets also not ignore the fact that the model looks cool

[@Reaver70]

these are excellent Lone operative hunters as well

[@Tinytraveler]

I agree, these are a fantastic unit! I have never been a fan of the model itself, but I merely had some tops printed, to hide the pilots and they are drastically improved for looks, but that's just a personal thing.

[@rathstar]

I agree piranhas are excellent, but with their recent points increase I dropped my 3rd piranha for a 2nd devilfish for only 25 points more. The increase in durability for only 25 points is insane. I use it to transport my 2nd pathfinder unit for a mini Fish of Fury as thr pathfinders still throw out 28 shots. I'm not sure how you calculated the threat ranges, eg. piranha 14" movement plus 12" fusion range is s 26" threat range, where did you get the extra 12" to make it 38". Also the Ret Cadre notes appear to be vespid notes from another video. Still a great video.

[@johnriberlarsen]

Thanks

[@Vorrinn]

I've been playing mainly just montka since the codex release, and I always have 2x1 of these. They always overperform for me.

[@Sollapoke]

Interesting

[@danielrye1989able]

Completely agree. I always make sure I have a couple!!

[@Hero1117a]

Maybe

[@kingbrungdob2918]

In what size units would you run these? I have a 2k auxiliary cadre, I want to have 1-3. But not sure if 1 unit of 3 would be better, 1 unit of two, or having 2 on their own etc…

[@InvasiveWargaming]

I usually just run single model units

[@evolvedgerman8590]

I was playing with a list of 3 units of 2. After i killed my friends landraider with just 1 2 seekers one fusion shot and then the tank shock to finish it off.
