The Hero and Custodian have the same missile strength in BFG (6 missiles - well the Custodian has 6 in the forum list, at any rate), as long as the BFG strengths are equal I would wish to keep them both at 6 Tracers in Epic.

Quote (CyberShadow @ 06 Jan. 2006 (20:35)) I dont see this as a reduction in firepower (if successful, the strength is the same). I just felt that this would make the unit slightly less powerful, without changing its focus. ? Don't get it, isn't hitting less a reduction in firepower? _________________ If using E-Bay use this link to support Tac Com! 'Abolish red trousers?! Never!

My Notes - Drone turrets have also not been added yet. Can we reopen discussion on this to double check that we are happy with the stats for them and remind me what was discussed? Sigh...Ok, I will. I would also like to point out that the entry was in the previous WIP lists because, if someone should ask, then the Tau player has something to point to as far as the validity of the unit. If it's not in print, then how do you distinguish that from some person who just shows up and says, "I want to add Manticores to my Tau because I'm testing this post-Taros campaign list". - The Drone Sentry Emplacements have not yet been moved to the main section. To be honest, I am still not sure if the totally warrant a permanent place in the core list (and I know that I am going to get flak for that comment!). They just seem a more specialist type of unit, for specific scenarios/missions.

Well, first off, I thought that something was in the "Collectors" section because there weren't any models, therefore you had to build them yourself. Then the section turned into sort of a "testbed" for units that we weren't sure of.

The sentry turrets do exist, however, do others not use them because they are there?


- I did consider changing the speed of the Scorpionfish/Dragonfish to make them equal, and I agree that this should probably be done? but 20cm or 25cm!


It should be 25 cm. As it stands now, it is the only unit that moves 20 cm in the whole list and there's no real justification for that speed


- The Crisis Cadre has been given an increased initiative to represent both the ?bonded? status of the warriors, and to help with blast management. There is currently no points increase for this cadre.


Someday, I'll get some crisis suits.


- The Hammerhead ?leader? upgrade has been added.

- Markerlight restriction against air/space units removed.


Thank you very much.


- The Tiger Shark? oh boy, the Tiger Shark. I thought about this issue a lot. Many of the suggestions did not seem to address the issue. I want to keep the two shots on this thing, at TK(1). I see this as being a War Engine killer? not necessarily the ultimate Warlord destroyer but something that is very nasty to SHTs. Therefore, I think that restricting this to formations of one makes the Tau player think a little more when using it. I have not restricted the number available, as I don?t think that this solves the problem, and actually may hinder future attempts to balance it. I have also reduce the strength of the Railcannon to 4+. This means that it should average a single hit, rather than two of three hits. I have not changed anything else. I realise that the Railcannon change is a bit out from left-field, but it is a relatively minor adjustment which I hope does not change the focus of the unit, while hauling it in a little. I now await the outcry ? brace for impact!


Personally, I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over this. Your proposal is just as valid an approach as any other. I'm more interested in the fact that the list is out and can be tested.

Thank you very much for all that you do.
