Via GW Digital Facebook pageTau combat doctrine places great emphasis on defeating enemy forces using superior firepower and technological advantage. At the heart of this method of warfare are their battlesuits; giant mechanical suits that are armed with the most powerful Tau weaponry. Foremost among these are the terrifying XV104 Riptide and XV88 Broadside battlesuits, capable of demolishing enemy battle lines and armour in a blaze of particle beams and howling sub-munitions.
The Tau Fireblade Support Cadre Dataslate presents the rules for fielding this advanced formation in your games of Warhammer 40,000, the cadre containing the impressive XV104 Riptide supported by six Broadside battlesuits, a terrifying prospect for any opponent to face!
Apparently much like the inquisition this is independent of the 'allies slot'.Morning all,
Day two in your 2013 Digital Advent Calendar brings a new Warhammer 40,000 formation in the form of the Tau Empire Firebase Support Cadre.
Basically, it’s a bunch of all the biggest Tau battlesuits, wielding even bigger guns.
The eBook has new background on this formidable battle group as well as extra rules for the formation when taken together.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a Tau army though, as this is a Datasheet Formation, you can add it to any force that can usually take the Tau Empire as allies AND still have your allies slot, and all the rules for the units are included. (Admit it, you always wanted a Riptide in your army.)
