It allows highly flexible and versatile combined arms forces which is how the Tau are depicted in the fluff. I wouldn't know how to build a min/max army but if that is a genuine co... |

Here is my breakdown of the Forgeworld Epic Tau List from IA3 and how if differs from the SG V4.0 List (PDF). There are quite a few stat-line differences between the V4 SG list and the IA3 list in addition to the Force Org changes.

| Rather than dropping stuff from the list altogether I would suggest moving stuff into the collectors' section - this would solve any tournament balance issues people might have with the list whilst still giving people the stats and points to use these units/models in 'normal' games. Just a thought..... |

QUOTE The Aerial Mines are tiny, a Gun Drone on a flying base.

| Thanks for the heads up. I think I've got all the info in this PDF in my old rules file but it's great for a trip down memory lane - I always found building cars on paper was much more enjoyable than actually playing the game. Edit: It's a pretty rough and ready scan but it does look lik... |

| By contrast, I quite like the Orca. In keeping with Tau design, its form follows its function. If you look at the Forgeworld Orca pictures you'll see that it's an ellegant piece of packaging to fit 12 Firewarriors, six Crisis suits, eight drones, crew, weapons systems, flight systems and... |
