One of those old-school lists that made people hate Tau with a passion. And yes, I loved it…not for how broken it was (I swear by the Greater Good), but because I’ve always had a thing for Gundam. So let’s diplomatically annihilate the battlefield through precision, mobility and overwhelming firepower. Courtesy of Deathrain & Fireknife battlesuits!
This is my 1500 points of pure XV8 nonsense: HQ Deathrain with Twin-linked Missile Pods everywhere and Elite Fireknife with Plasma + Missile for that sweet versatility. Basically a storm of high-velocity negotiations.
Here comes the spicy fish: triple Railguns. Two mounted on Hammerhead Gunships and one (Twin-linked) on a Broadside. This heavy battlesuit, backed by double shield drones, stands as a mini-boss sniper, ready to delete monsters, tanks and dreams alike.
Oh right, I couldn’t leave out some of my favorite Xenos! Two squads of Kroots with an appetite my grandma would approve of. Now I just need to find someone brave (or foolish) enough to take a loss straight out of 20 years ago, just to remember how was getting crushed by Tau at tournaments. Good times!
