| The stat comparisons don't appear to be weighted for range stretching either which tends to be a significant tactical boon for the Tau. |

| You know adding Lance to the rail gun may not be a bad idea if we also reduce its range. The reduction in range would not mean too much to the HH's but it certainly would to the broadside suits. Like 15cm or something. Or we could make broadside suits 5+ RA rather than 4+ RA. Just a couple of ideas.... |

| The way to fix HH IMO is to fix the rail gun. At the moment the problem as I see it is the range of the rail gun. At 75cm it can cover a vast swath of the playing surface thereby reducing the importance of the HH's speed and skimmer abilities. It is rare that a broadside suit has no worthwhile targe... |

| Yeah anyway as I said I'm not all that bothered one way or the other, I just wanted to throw the idea out there in case it hadn't been thought about/debated. I don't want to get bogged down in discussions about specific points of GW fluff. GW is very good at maintaining a characteristic vibe for an ... |

| Yeah I missed most of the discussion. I quickly skimmed over it and this issue doesn't seem to be have been discussed much at all. Most of the discussion was about whether SG should be included at all not what form that inclusion should take. But I'm not that fussed one way or the other I just think... |

| Does anyone else think that adding a formation of sanguinary guard to the list is a bit weird. I'm not against adding them (in fact I think it's a good idea and an interesting way to better differentiate the marine lists) but a formation of them implies that almost every sanguinary guardsman in the ... |

| I think the last two lists posted are significantly better than the warlord example. Although I think I would prefer the LC as the BTS for pure frustration value. I mean isn't that the point of popcorn lists in epic. It isn't normally that they are OTT but rather that they are extremely frustrating ... |

| I think I'm with Steve54 on this. I can see how this list could achieve a draw in the hands of a player who has an understanding of how epic's VP system works (the warlord should negate at least 2 but should be attempting for 3 of your opponents VP conditions) but I'm not sure if I can see it winnin... |

| If the sort of extreme lists that are being are possible and can be demonstrated as being OTT it hints at a problem with list design rather than a problem with "ass hattery". It's like the "don't be a dick" addendum in the aircraft LOS rules. The yes it's possible to position an ... |

| In terms of blitz protection the best unit Tau have is the piranha. Although you don't really need to be all that concerned with Blitz protection with Tau as the army is full of 30cm+ Skimmers. Also be careful with thinking about holding territory when playing Tau. They are not particularly useful i... |

| But air units are how GW envisions the Tau dealing with Titans and the like and as such we should not be adding a unit to the list which is contrary to that vision unless GW introduces it. If we start doing that why don't we add TK units to the Marine list or fill the gaps in every list with fan mad... |

| It really should not be a TK weapon platform. It wasn't meant to be a hovering Shadowsword but more a jack of all trades Warhound equivalent. Actually a flying shadow sword was exactly what the Moray was originally envisioned as. I don't know if you remember but the original stats for the Moray fro... |

| All this started by jstr's wishful thinking in 1 thread... ::) :D I did not propose any stats for the Moray. Ever. And I dislike the tone and resent the implications of your quote. The TK version came from an early version 3 or late version 2 list which was the current version when I started playin... |

This list is supposed to represent the Raven Guard in an offensive capacity. They are noted in the fluff for leaving behind their heavier toys and relying on scouting elements. T... |
