1500 pts tourny list - Tau (ETC style)

[kociamafia]

So I got tired of Tyranids recently. Cant make them work anymore in my meta xd I ll try again in a month or so but for now I need a break


here is a list I came up with for upcoming 1500 pts ETC tourny


Tau Batt:



2x Cadre HQ

3x5 FW

3x Riptide

2x4 Shield Drones



Tau Batt2:



Shadowsun

Darkstrider

3x5 FW



Sacea Vanguard:



Ethereal on disc

2xFiresight Marksman

Dahyak grekh




Sacea to give rerolls + AOE markerlight stratagem. I did a test run against my buddy's Orks and they got absolutely wrecked.
Im impressed with the sheer firepower.


I hid my drones in the ruins out of sight and man that's some premium cheese tactic right there. Loving it.



It's feels soooo much different than my Tyranids. Basically I was losing on points for 2 rounds (I kept my castle stationary in the corner), but after most of my opponent's force was wiped I began to catch up. In the end I won 15-5 on Maelstorm.



Psychic phase is kinda funny, since all I can do is bend over & hope for the best.

Friend, I know nids can be frustrating some times but...did it have to be Tau? You have heard the good news right? There are other armies in 40k besides Tau...

Anyway, enough proselytizing against Tau.

I think this list is legit. I would prob want a few more shield drones but since those riptides can go to a 3++ as needed you should be okay and the list is written really tightly so not sure where else you would get them. It seems to have the heavy lifting of a 2k list, just add broadsides and drones basically.

I'm not sure why but you just made my day I can only imagine the tone of your voice (picture a dissapointed father...) scolding me for picking Tau XD
Truth be told I hate their lore (it s very boring and dull) but I like the minis & they are the complete opposite to Tyranids gameplay wise.

with Nids I kinda dont know what to do anymore, I tried everything. The last thing to do for me is the 600 pts GSC detachment I want to try in my 2000 pts Nid list.





About the Tau roster...Yeah its pretty tight, I cant jam even 1 more drone in, I already picked the cheapest HQs

I was radicalized against Tau in 5th edition. Slightly ahead of the curve there.

I had a really bad stretch with nids after last CA culminating in a winless LVO(summary: bad decisions were made). Been playing knights/gsc themed Cadia since and am just getting back to writing nid lists.

Let us know how it goes!
