Is anyone here doing Tau? A local friend is, and he had some questions and thoughts and because that is a list I did not do, I could not help him. If there is people here I would rather post his questions here then head over to the Jungle and walk with the Fanboys. dafrca |

I've looked over the list quite a few times and BADLY want to collect and play a Tau force, but... The funds are lacking... At any rate, I have a passing familiarity with the E-A Tau list. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

I am currently using them as a force to play E:A. I have managed to get a game in with Tom and they seem really good. My only problem with E:A was that I was trying to get familiar with the rules as well as using the Tau for the first time. I am currently trying to beef up my force because they seem a little lacking in the close assault. I didnt have any kroot available at the time

The E-A rules take a little while to learn. I highly advise playing the training scenarios with a friend. My problem is that I've been actively playtesting since the earliest versions and I get mixed up sometimes. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

I played against Tom who was using Dark Angels. Apparently he did get to play a couple of games so he helped me out a little about certain rules although we were both looking through sheets of paper at one point. I did enjoy it and hope to get a few more games in with him on the 16th. Maybe I might bring the 'nids along as well |

Hi! I have started to slowly make the Tau "primarchload" by several purchases over the last months. It will however take quite a while before I hit the 100k mark....  Primarch |

I have a Tau and Kroot force of about 6000 pts. They are fun to play if, and if you have played modern MBT games you will get the feel of them quickly. They do the 'fire and manouver' tactics very well. No doubt why L4 has a force of them. The list is a little limiting at the moment, and don't reliy on macro weapons! I've only done 6 games with them but willing to help. Cheers. |

You got that right P/B ! Unfortunately all my Tau & Kroot are still in the bags ! I got too much other Epic to do first ! And I'm kind of awaiting the S/G release, years from now ... by then most of my Epic should be complete ...

6000 pts is a decent size, what does that comprise of? I assume you have fliers and anti aircraft with that? What do u use for close combat situations? |

Been of for bit. Just getting ready to go to Nottingham castle for a bash (well they are I still a cripple but I do get to drink and meet nice girls). The Tau force is scattered and not all painted so I shall just list the painted stuff. 2 Full cadre 5 hammerhead units 2 skyray units 3 orcas 1 broadside unit 3 Krootwarbands(inc all upgrades) 2 Tigersharks 1 Barracuda wing 3 Tower turret units(cost?) 3 Drone units(heavy and normal) 2 Human aux inf companies 1 Human aux Lt Armour Co Mixed snipers,stealth suits,etherials and officers. Other units are in the pipeline along with buildings and terrain. I can't wait for knarlocks and riders or the tetra and piranha! Cheers. |

I like the list you have there. I have many unpainted units and hopefully I will be able to share some more pics of what has been painted. I certainly dont have enough infantry for 3 cadres but thats because they are unpainted. Luckily kroot doesnt require 8 stands of a particular unit so I might be able to use them next week against tom. What colours did you use on them? |
