My second Riptide, 2 Broadsides and Hammerhead are on the way from TWG, so hopefully if they turn up today should be able to field this list with mostly legal models!

Looks cool, The suit score/are troops right?

Nope only 3 scoring units in this list, it is more for fun than being competitive. I might squeeze in 2 devilfish and drop a troop choice, but as i say its more of a fun build.

I like the list buddy! I wouldn't bother with the devilfishes, I'd just reserve the troops.

I was tempted to drop a squad and drop in an aegis defense line for the Broadsides and firewarriors to skulk behind........

Was really looking forward to play testing it tonight, damn work.....

Doh!, you can't make tonight. Silly work and real life getting in the way.

We will catch up another night I am sure.

Plus side is all my bits have turned up from eBay and TWG Rob, so it will be a proper what WYSIWYG Tau army you will be facing!

I now have around 4000 pts of Tau!

Only thing i want to add now is some Proxy kroot.

I have been busy on the painting scene too. Painted kroot with bad ass white/blue hair, 10 gun drones (will convert to snipers) and 2 shielded missile drones, made two marksmen for the snipers out of Tau tank bits and almost finished off the riptide and commander in the snazzy purple/green spray the nightscytes are done in.

Starting to come together

I have about 20-30 Kroot you can borrow (along with the Hammerhead you're already borrowing).
