Something ive been considering since the Eldar book came out and just thought id hammer out a quick idea to see how some combo's may work.
Tau (Main Detatchment)
------------------------
Shadowsun
Command Link Drone - 155
Kroot x10 - 60
Kroot x10 - 60
Riptide
Ion Accelerator, Early Warning, Velocity Tracker - 210
Riptide
Ion Accelerator, Early Warning, Velocity Tracker - 210
Riptide
Ion Accelerator, Counterfire Defense System - 190
Eldar (Allies)
------------
Spiritseer - 70
WarpSpiders x10 - 190
Wraithguard x5 - Scythes - 210
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, Vectored Engines, Shuriken Cannon, TL Laser - 160
WraithKnight
Sword/Shield, Scatter Laser + Starcannon - 290
Tactics are simple. BIG THINGS!!!!! Big things that go boom, Big things that go Zoom and other big things that make other things go Boom! Hopefully all the while distracting my opponent from A. Picking on my poor Kroot, and B. Making sure theyre slow to realise the Threat that 10 Warp Spiders with Stealth/Shrouding can be.
Ever since i saw the Eldar were coming with Jetpack infantry i wondered if there was a decent combo there and i think this is it. Shadowsun and 10 Spiders. Not as fast as Spiders on their own however what the Spiders Lose in being unable to Warp Jump, they gain in Shadowsuns Warlord trait. Not to mention a 4+ Cover save in the Open!
Top that off with my personal favourite unit of WraithScythes with their Psyker Buddy in one of them there new fandangled Wave Serpents and i think it could do well.
The Knights build is open for consideration. I built him Combat because its what the Force is missing more than anything. I could save some points and go Bare Bones, or even more expensive, but i dont rate any of his main weapons. The WraithCannon is just a S10 gun, and 2 shots can easily miss where as with 3 Ion Accelerators, i dont think i need to bother with the Sun Cannon.
Thoughts?
