Questions for Tau playersI know how Tau is played locally, but with a new list in the works I'd really like to get some feedback, opinions and views from the larger Tau-playing community.
These are all just to gain information, so there is no judgement attached (ie if you struggle to get a lot of crossfires set up, just say so).
1) Do you ever take an Ethereal? If not, would you at a lower point cost?
What if the Ethereal could be a passenger in a vehicle (similar to a Commissar, for example)
2) MarkerlightsIf you had to estimate, what percentage of your shooting over the course of a game is done at targets that are successfully markerlit?
3) Bad MatchupsAre there particular types of opponents that you struggle with above all others (for example, all-mechanised minervans, terminators, ork bikers, the titan legion etc)
4) Good MatchupsAre there particular types of opponents that you breeze to an easy win against (for example, all-infantry Tyrannids, all-mechanised minervans, terminators, the titan legion etc)
5) CrossfireIf you had to estimate, do you manage to get Cross-fire bonuses at least three times per game?
6) ActivationsRoughly how many activations do you have in your average Tau 3000pt army?
7) Ease of playAnd finally, do you find winning with Tau as easy, easier or harder than with other armies you play?
Participation is appreciated, thanks!
