Heya All,
I got this nifty little 500pt Tau Army that I built. I think its alround pretty solid. Here Goes. Shas'el Fusion Blaster, Missile pod, Plasma rifle, HW multi tracker 102pts 10 kroot Mercs 70pts 11 FW 110pts 1 Hammer Head Ion Cannon, 2 burst cannons, Decoy Luancher, Multi tracker 145pts 1 Broadside battlesuit 75pts Total : 502 pts. I thought it ran really well when I played it. Give me some feedback ![]() Aun_Me. |

Shas'el Fusion Blaster, Missile pod, Plasma rifle, HW multi tracker 102pts
costs too much for this game 10 kroot Mercs 70pts 10 kroot need to be 20 ;D 11 FW 110pts needs bonding or 'ui 1 Hammer Head Ion Cannon, 2 burst cannons, Decoy Luancher, Multi tracker 145pts fine 1 Broadside battlesuit 75pts gonna have to go to get some points go for Shas'El FB,MP,MT 81pts good AT support as the side had to go. Troops 12 FW Shas' ui 20 Kroot 140pts now there up to 20 they are much much better Heavy Support Hammer Head Ion, BC, Decoy Luancher, Multi tracker 145pts 496pts use the 5pts for a TL on the HH? but thats much better, every unit is more effective and stronger as the points arent so spread out. good stuff

Not enough FW for my taste, but then I'm on the extreme side of shooty. I don't even know if I'll have a single Kroot unit in my army.

there is a fine amount of FW, kroot are very very good and only lack a small amount of the Firepower of a FW squad and have indeed more firepower than a 10 man marine squad.
and shooty doesnt mean FW neciccarily, it often means less FW and more tanks and crisis.

as I said, drop the Side to up the kroot squad, that makes the overall firepower and flexibility go up while te 'El maintains tank killing power.

dizzy made a good list. *My only advice for dizzy's list would be a railgun instead of an ion cannon, and go plasma/missile (fireknife) on the commander, and drop a few kroot. *Or, just swap the kroot for fire warriors of lesser value.
So like this; Shas'el PR, MP, MT 12 fire warriors, shas'ui 12 fire warriors, no shas'ui HH with railgun, burst cannons, multi and decoy That's 500 exactly right there OR, instead of the squad with no shas'ui, bring 17 kroot. (which makes your total 499) I took an army almost exactly like this one (with the fw's) in a tourney and owned; undefeated for 4 games in a row and no losses. *Except that my hh had target lock and no shas'ui(s).

I personally don't see a use for a Hammerhead in a 500 point list. This is the perfect place for Battle Suits to appear and is far more atuned to the point level. Hammerheads are massive firepower tanks, not scouting tanks.
I would try some suits in that low of points. Armour can be too powerful in such a small game, but it can also be a huge loss of points should an opponent hit you with a single missile launcher and get lucky, or take out the main battery weapon. Two smaller suits double your firepower and double your chances of keeping that fire every turn, instead of exposing your heart to the enemy. HQ: Shas'El; Plasma Rifle; Missile Pod; Multi-tracker; Hardwired Black Sun Filter Elite: Shas'Ui; Plasma Rifle; Missile Pod; Multi-tracker Elite: Shas'Ui; Plasma Rifle; Missile Pod; Multi-tracker Troop: Firewarriors x 12; Shas'ui; Bonded Troop: Kroot Carnivores x 20 More oriented for missions of course, but A Devilfish would definately help mobility for taking objectives.

I can see your points but the Commander has the FB so he can pick up the AT slack, the HH has Ion still as most opposing armies are marines, so its a ood bet to fry their principal squad faster and the BC can be put to maximum effect, plus it helps not to sink too much into one tank in this small a game. the kroot IMO are very valuable as they bulk up the numbers and help to alleviate casualties while gving you a combat squad and infiltartors which in such a small game are very valuable.
and as to malveaux points, plasma is very prevalent so battlesuit are vunerable here, and who said this is a scouting patrol, that would be combat patrol, this is a minor skirmish, and its quite hard to down a HH in this small a game (one missile launcher rarely does it) the HH has very thick armour and doesnt go down easy, the HH can hold a quarter (if I'm not mistaken) and the kroot can infiltrate onto objectives easily.

It's a killer list. Guys have trouble taking out a hh with lascannons, let alone missile launchers or auto-cannons.
