starting tau!!!!!

[salamut2202]

ramming devil fish and assaulting units. heaps of kroot and what isn't probably has a pulse carbine. xvs have really close assault weapons like flamers and fusion blasters. some run an ethereal or even aun'va, usually trying to get them killed t further ther assaults. think vi'ola and farsight tactics in practice. quite entertaining actually.
