Just remember Rob if you do play Daemons and they have Flying MC you can cause a grounding test with markerlights off the Rays, with no save allowed
Interested to see how your fair against Nick, my bomb failed to do much damage as his Psychic powers were 4+ inv, FNP, Ignore cover and something else i can't remember off the second Libby. Think my current list would do better as have better scoring options (even without R'varna).
Definitely interested to see how you guys get on, i have set myself a target of getting my Tau painted up before the end of the year and attending a tournament or 2 next year. Maybe even the later in the year BB. We'll see how that goes .....
Edit - Also guys, if you are facing Ion Tides, just gently remind them to roll the gets hot if they Nova or Overcharge the gun. You'd be surprised how many people forget this....... If they roll a 1, unless they have a Earth caste Array or Buffmander to get a re-roll that shot doesn't go off!
Big Rob will tell you all about this....
I swear Markerlights dont cause grouding tests. Think it was FAQd at some point.
You sure? Can't get on GW's website to check in the Tau FAQ
But from all the battle reports and rules discussions i have seen they cause grounding tests as it is a hit, doesn't matter if it causes damage or not, as you see below-
Quote:Grounded Test:
If a Flying Monstrous Creature that is Swooping suffers one or more hits from a unit's Shooting attack, must take a Grounded test immediately after the Shooting attack has been resolved.
Edit - tell a lie, i have the Tau FAQ on my phone, nothing about markerlights not causing grounding tests.
Q: Do hits by items of wargear that cause hits but do not inflict
damage, require a Swooping Flying Monstrous Creature to
take a Grounded test. (p49)
A: Yes.
