Having said that, 2xAP4+ 30cm may well be justified, with a slight points bump. That'd certainly make them worthwhile taking!

I could really get behind this proposal as it makes their "shooting" attack pretty comparable to what their "fire fight" should actually be.

again not a valid arguement.... tau aren't the only people shooting at an enemy in cover!
and again, where's the AT?
that being said, 2x AP4+ at 30cm is not a bad idea. certainly better then 2 different stats for the same gun.

I wouldn't bump the points though, drop them to start with 6 units instead. The Tau really don't need even more expensive cadre choices.

I've always been a big fan of the "Six units of Fire Warriors" formation as the core of the Fire Warrior Cadre.

And, again, this kind of discussion should *REALLY* be taking place in the Tau development section.

The point is that the current stats are better than the old stats in almost all situations. The only place they're worse is when over 15cm away and not shooting into cover or doubling, which is very rare.

AT isn't justified for FW weapons. In 40k they're basically identical to heavy bolters, which don't get an AT shot.

You really ought to post this (LOUDLY!) in the Tau development forum...  :agree:

I used to a fair bit you know :) Plus it fits my FW + drone basing strategy.
