Small correction: the actual armour colour scheme of a model has been retconned to no longer matter unless you're building a 'Parade' army or a Sept garrison. Tau colour their armed forces according to their combat environment (bright white being... poor camouflage unless you're trying to sneak into a polar bears-only nightclub) and only the Sept markings 'have to' be in the original Sept tones. The white box-art scheme could be any Sept, it's the red markings that make it Vior'la.

Just in general, I feel like the Tau need a bigger overhaul than a lot of armies. It isn't just that they're weak right now, such that they just need bigger numbers or cheaper costs or something. It's that their whole dynamic seems to reward castling up and staying put, which wasn't particularly interesting in 8th, and meshes horribly with 9th edition's focus on getting out into the battlefield. I'd love to see how Tau would play, for example, if the group overwatch part of For the Greater Good were removed and replaced by a buff to each individual unit's overwatch, allowing Tau units to operate more independently and move up the board with a little less fear of being effortlessly picked off by enemy melee.

I started a farsight enclaves army back in november as they were an army that I had wanted to start since I started playing and I wanted a speed painting project which they were perfect for. I think FSE is best purely off of the back of veteran XV8s which definitely should not be underestimated, I recommend if you're going to play tau and use XV8s at all, you should at least do a barebones enclaves patrol to make them vets. I run mine as a blob of six (thinking of expanding to nine), each armed with a fusion blaster and shield generator, with the shas'ui additionally taking a drone controller. Having eight marker drones with them, they should be able to on average hit full markerlights at a target, and if they do, at six inches you're looking at a reliable average of 13 damage before you also calculate the melta roll 2 discard 1. I also think it's worth taking shield generators on all suits other than stealth, it helps give you some staying power since the rest of the units are pretty fragile, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone thinks it's a waste of points.

Its Tau Sept for me, a big battlesuit like a Riptide or Ghostkeel taking the support system counterfire defense almost shoots as well as it does in the shooting phase in overwatch. It serves two purposes, deters incidental charges that would otherwise be used by your opponent to tie up a big shooter (for fear the unit will just die in overwatch), and if they do decide to charge they have to eat that crazy overwatch. This gives you some better durability on objectives than Farsight Enclaves.

High powered incinerators and Gatling Burst Cannons currently is a thing not to be ignored lightly. Both can turn the tide of a battle if packed in a high model count Krisis team, especially when combined with an ATS for -1 AP. Especially when playing Farsight Enclaves, having a team of 8 bodyguards with 2 High Powered Incinerators and an ATS each combined with one defensive Iridium/Shield Gen/Airburst/Reactive Countermeasure can be really deadly at short range with the re-roll 1s to wound Sept rule. Not even to mention the ~42 S5 AP-1 hits in Overwatch and re-rolling 1s to wound being a huge turn-off to get into a melee with these guys.
@i0100013 жыл бұрын
The Eight seems initially kinda modest but seems to have a few really unique options. I'm a rather casual player, so I don't know how useful these would be, but I was looking over them a while back The named XV88, Ob'Lotai 9-0, has more abilities than it looks like he has at a glance. Explicitly, he has his abilities to reduce incoming damage by 1, to a mimimum of 1, and can advance and shoot in addition to his typical Velocity Tracker. That's obvious. What might not be immediately obvious if you just look over him casually is that, as a character, he can hide behind non-characters, and he shares the rest of The Eight's ability to Deep Strike in - Including his missile drones. Building on -that- he can benefit from Drop Zone Clear, the short-range Farsight bonuses, etc. These are things no other Broadside can do. it seems like deploying him with Torchstar (Who has a drone controller and markerlight drones) could be real nice Also it seems like you can give them Warlord Traits by using the Promising Pupil strategem; the wording is that it selects a Model, not a Unit, and none of The Eight except Farsight designate a warlord trait. Exemplar of the Kau'yon on the named Riptide to reroll all it's wounds, or Through Boldness, Victory to tie into the named Broadside's unique ability to deep-strike, could be quite oppressive... But this seems -fucky- and just kind of feels like you shouldn't be able to do that, even if I can't quite find why you could not. Overall even with those I think The Eight are kind of a unit with a few huge stand-outs (Like Farsight, Brightsword, and 9-0) mixed in with a few commanders who are kind of a mixed bag (Like Sha'vastos, who doesn't really excel at anything and who's bonus ability is also a relic and thus not actually unique)

The planet of Arthas Moloc was home to an ancient civilization that understood the warp and had many countermeasures to fight it. The relics of this old tech was what brought ork looters to the planet, and ork looters are what brought farsight's forces on the planet. They fight inside this ruined city and they spill blood on a plaza where ancient ruins spring to life. The plaza is also surrounded by artifacts that seem to repel the demons, also many buildings have runes that keep them far away. So it's probable that the plaza where the demons burst forth was a training ground\trial ritual for the members of that society. The dawn blade is made of the same alloy of which the dispelling artifacts are composed. So it surely isn't a demon blade, neither a c'tan artifact or other. It's the last legacy of a long forgotten civilization that knew how to master an resist the warp.

I have a longterm goal to create sizable Tau armies for every Sept, and painted accordingly. I say "longterm" because obviously Warhammer miniatures are a very expensive hobby. I don't even have the right paints for even a single Sept, just Tau skin tone paints and primer lol As far as models go, I can maybe form a decent Farsight Enclaves army because I just built the Eight (though again, they're unpainted). I don't know when I'll try to play matches again. For all I know, it could be 10th Edition when I start playing (and I started collecting during 8th Ed.).

Did this come out before psychic awakening: the greater good? He missed hybridized weaponry which gives assault weapons +4” range. That’s amazing for breachers and fusion blasters. 11” for half range on meltas, and your breachers get a 9” close range weapon profile.
@RavenAdventwings2 жыл бұрын
He already covered Custom Septs. He skipped Hybridized Weaponry for other ones. Also, Hybridized Weaponry only works on the Long Range profile of the Pulse Blasters. It's already been explained in the FAQ since last year.

I used Sa’cea a fair bit in 8th just cause the reroll builds up with enough volume of fire. Local meta means a lot more than tournament meta imho because in my local group my Tau and one of my friends Nids are the strongest armies and some forces like blood angels which were considered the strongest for tournaments struggled

I have long considered it odd that T'au have no melee firearms. The lore implies that T'au suffer in melee due to slower reflexes then humans, so it seems to me that weapons like flak cannons and sonic weaponry that you wield defensively when the enemy gets close to you would have popped up from time to time. Not quite a powerfist or thunderhammer but even orks would be hard pressed to survive a face full skull pulping sound, defensive drone systems for when you don't have a shield wall.
