Okay here goes, i've bought some Tau recently and here is what I have designed as a pretty much standard (ie not army focused) list.

I have played a couple of games with markerlights and found that I just prefer more shots at this point size, markerlights are slightly too expensive without taking a pathfinder squad hence the reason that there are none here.

Once this lot has been painted up (i am on the fifth squad at the moment, which is good for me) i plan on adding most things to the army with the aim of eventually hitting apocolypse sizes, so if there is a unit you think will fit in well please advise.

All comments, critisisms and advice would be greatly appreciated.

i love the list m8

personally id drop the bodyguard and get some kroot houds

[Vaughany]

So far my Kroot have been used as a firing base from cover, generally distracting and tieing units up that charge them. As such i have not really thought about Kroot hounds. What bonuses do they generally convey in game terms, apart from the I5, which in cover often becomes moot? And also is it better to add Kroot hounds, or just more Kroot?

I've not used these before so am really interested to here peoples opinions on good Kroot squad constuction.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, Kroot Hounds get 3 attacks (I5) and Kroot get 2 (I3). This obviously makes the Hounds better when charged but with Kroot being armed with Kroot rifles generally I see them as better for he long game, especcially as I never keep them out of cover (preferably woods ;D)

Thanks
