Hello, I'm new to this whole epic thing but I was 'forced'    to buy a Tau army. Any reports on what the current v 1.3 rules play like? My force is still on the orcas being painted :D

Hi and welcome :)  

Hmmm... OrcaS you say!?! :oo  Sounds like quite a strain on the old bank account there :D
Please do post some pics once you get the stuff painted -this is becoming more or less mandatory by now :;):

Uhm, oh,:And as for your original quiestion: I'm sorry but I havent been able to test out the Tau rules yet (nor bought any of those marvelous (though expensive) FW minis.

Cheers! :)

The f/w tau paint up very well with minimal effort. You don't need to have the best paint job, no ork will get close enough to see the uniform if we're lucky! As for the orca, well very nice with a price tag to match :(

The current Tau rules are ok, but they will be subject to revisions when they come up for real playtesting (most of the trial rules are officially 'on the backburner', with usually only 3 armies being heavily playtested at a time). I believe the anti-charge move will be changed to be crisis suits only in the next revision, but apart from that, I can't remember :)

You can search the official epic boards and see what the consensus was, though.

I like the current Tau rules (v.3 IIRC ?), but they may need a little fine tuning. ?The Tau is the army most like modern forces, with most of the rest of the Epic armies stuck in WWII ! ?I'm not complaining, I like the paradigm ! ?I see the Kroot as a brutal version of jungle tribesmen mercenaries, like the 'Yards, in Vietnam ... :;):

I agree with the analogy of the Tau forces. I like the idea of them being rushed in close combat and running back to their devil fish to dust off and fight a skimmer fire fight. Echos of Vietnam hot LZ!

New ones! I'm still painting and sorting the unit config'. At this rate they will be on v2000 before I hit the field. Looks like half painted orcas will have to fly from their factory next weekend, unless I manage to break a bone at this weekends re-enactment battle. Suddenly plastic soldiers sounds so much safer! :{

Epic has many advantages ... I'm not cold, wet, dirty or tired ... and no chance of being KIA, WIA or MIA !!!  :;):

It's raining, coldishI've just woken up need a bath but the bath room is engaged and I have to go and load 200kg of kit. As you say at least no one is shooting at me!
    Is anybody out there using knarlocs in their force and if so what figures are they using? Also has any one found out if the kroot are an effective force? It is a bit late as I purchased rather a lot, but it helps prioritise the painting scedual.
cheers.

Have not played with Tau & Kroot yet, but I plan on using them to screen for the Tau and in the woods/jungle to maneuver to the flanks.  A head up charge (with any force) could cause you (the attacker) too many casualties, unless you are an Ork or 'Nid or playing 40K ... :laugh:
