#plus my Coldstar and Enforcer

Me when I realized I can legally field all 21 of my XV8 Crisis suits with the previewed T’au rules

Feedback on my 2000 pt list

So after I got absolutely curb stomped by my local Grey Knights player I have some major revisions to my 2k T’au list. The core from my 1000 pt list is unchanged and the full list is below the break. The changes are as follows:

Cut out the Stormsurge. It’s just not mobile enough to bring its full might to bear and good players know how to avoid it. Plus the nerfs to Titanic have unfortunately made it well and truly unplayable 😓

Removed the backup Ethereal and Strike team. The CP generation just isn’t worth a second Ethereal and the strike team doesn’t do enough on its own

Fleshed out both Crisis squads to full strength. This one will take the most work, modeling wise, but my last match really showcased to me that I need to lean into the XV8 team’s mobility if I actually want to kill something against skilled players

Added in my Riptide. For sheer output of shots and durability, this is great for its points and serves the same role that the Stormsurge was (unintentionally) of being a damage sponge the first few rounds. Plus it’s an excellent target of Through Unity, Devastation with its high volume of medium strength shots

Overall, I’m leaning way more heavily into XV8 suits and away from the Infantry + Stormsurge build I had going. They just weren’t able to compete with more skilled and speedy opponents

Please reblog and let me know your thoughts in the comments, I’m looking for feedback from both inside and outside the T’au player base
