PostSubject: Farsight tau 1850   Farsight tau 1850 Icon_minitime18th September 2011, 1:37 am

Hey yall, I am coming up with a Farsight bomb list at 1850. Farsight and his unit will have a 2+ to come in either two or three depending on if I deep strike the fb and pr crisis suit unit too. With markerlight support, the unit should be able to vaporize any unit they land near in a turn. The one problem I have with the list is that it has only three railguns, which is what I usually use to kill tanks. What do yall think?

The problem is that your dropping in suits. Tau's one and only strength is being able to shoot from as far away as possible. Sure, Farsight can land and blast a unit to death, but other armies do it a lot better for a lot less points. 1850 seems alittle too low to run Farsight, but if I were to run him at this point value I would drop all the fast slots and max out my crisis suits, running them all at a minimum. With this today's meta, you almost have to put those firewarriors in devilfish. I like the fusion and plasma with far sight's unit, but I would make my basic suits all have twin-linked missile pods. This will free up some more points for devilfish and give you that long range punch to compensate for a lack of rail gunning. Just my two cents.

Made a few changes. I switched the crisis suit teams to the twin linked missile pods, and also added a couple of devilfish, and also squeezed in another broadside. I think i might still ds farsight and his bodyguard, but i could switch the fusion blasters to missile pods and run them as mid range support. I could also change and use burst cannons instead to get more of an anti infantry unit and should be able to pump out a huge amount of shots.
