Not a bad idea SK. I still like the Ion head for long range AP work which the list lost when the Stingray went kablooey.

How cheap would the Ion-Head be though? 200 for 4? And "Disrupt-Rail-Head" and Fusion-Head back to 250?

I think this would be way too confusing. When speed rolling multiple units FF attacks, it would be so confusing to keep track of which two dice belonged to which unit as to be impractical. Taking the higher half of the die rolled could mean you are choosing two dice from the same unit's FF attack.

:D oops, was thinking how to boost 1 unit, didn't think about the practicality of it.. good catch :)

Adding disrupt could be an interesting trait to the tau, to what extent were you thinking of adding it? - everyweapon or just some more?

Yup ;), otherwise it just wouldn't be an epic tau forum :D

Being now in the MoD I can regale you with 'authentic' tales of troops from certain countries who are great at short range infantry firepower (i.e. firing at the enemy whilst they advance) but the second things start to close to what we would reguard as a firefight they simply either back off prior or break and run.


What about allowing tau to make a countercharge/withdraw move? a la V3 (this was then limited to jetpack only troops and fixed at 10cm from V4 onwards)

The Disrupt idea has been suggested some time recently (last year or 2) and was rejected. I guess Honda would know why but I can't rememeber. I still favour Lance but I concede that that would cause issues for other units in the list, not a disirable situation.
