Remember that last list that I posted, then had deleted? Well, I really mean it this time.
This is my effort to come up with a new Tau list that kills some of the sacred cows of Tau list building that I have been adhering to for some time. In particular, I'm using dyads of crisis suits rather than as large a single unit as I can, I'm fielding crisis suits with twin-linked weapons rather than multi-trackers, I'm using piranhas, and I'm using flamers. I'm also experimenting with some of the benefits from 6th Edition and the recent FAQ, like the new use of disruption pods on skimmers.
I'll go from there right into the list. I'm eager to read your thoughts:
