I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me down
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Look all around there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead there's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Bri-ri-ri-ri-right
Bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
Oh yeah
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright bright sun shiny day.Whokay...it looks like the storms have abated for the time being and I can get back to things that are more fun...
So, looking at the batreps forum, I've seen quite a few reports up, unfortunately, no one has posted a Tau batrep since my 2/20 edition. What gives? I know that I am guilty of playing (when I could) and not posting, but everyone? Seems like there should have been more. It is what it is.
Future directions:A while back Epic-UK indicated that eventually they would get around to working up a list. At that time, I was fully supportive of their efforts and I still am. I believe that Tacwar and Epic-UK can work together for the benefit of each community.
So I am excited to announce that their list effort is kicking off. The Epic-UK list champion for the Tau will be yme-loc who I have a lot of respect for. He also plays the Tau quite well.
What does that mean to us?Well, yme-loc and I have agreed upon the baseline and the changes that will go into their testing effort, which is expected to conclude by the end of this calendar year, thus making the Tau list available for tournaments next year...if I am understanding the timeline correctly. Yme-loc, please correct me if I am off on the details.
So what's going to change?The baseline list will be Tau 6.2. These following changes have been generally agreed upon by the Tawar community:
Quote:
Manta - Fearless, Markerlight, 650pts
Crisis - MW4+, Invulerable Save
Hammerheads - 200pts upgrade 100pts
MW4+ on fusion hammerhead.
Recon - 175pts
In addition, we will be adding the following changes:
Quote:
Removal of Missile Tiger Shark
Broadsides upgrade increased to 150pts (currently 125pts).
Drones - AP4+ (I think this is agreed by you), FF5+ and 1-4 for 25pts
Allow for Crisis to take drones (these are additions to test to try and make the drone upgrade more usable).
Why would we do this?Two words: One list
I think this is a great opportunity to work together (wait for it...), for the Greater Good. This means that tournaments across multiple continents and countries will be able to use the same list.
I see that as a good thing.
Cheers,
