So was that guys list we both played illegal cos he had loth with dev centurions and the tau o'vesa guy?

Dammit! Guess its fair............ But still!

PS

Also cannot cast powers on the unit either I assume :p

And yep it is now Chris, not really illegal at the time we played it, I knew it was a grey area... I was trying to exploit it as well.

My inquisitor will be a 34pt tax to stop scout moving armies.

Also list submission is 6 sleeps away!!

Oh dear, that is cheap and might scupper my black knight list...means the opponent gets an extra turn of shooting in.

Right.......... I think I've decided! It's basically my winter warm up list with 1 less centurion and 5 less marines with tigirius replacing the bog standard Libby. Means I get a wide choice of powers (which I really need to study hard) and the advantage of re rolling my reserves so my stormravens come in when I want them and my kroot can stay off the board a while longer so they don't get killed by a large stick!

I like both lists, leaning towards list2 because you have a lot of options... but like my list... scoring, is it strong enough?

I'm looking at this list:

Tau Primary:

HQ1: (Warlord) Farsight (165) = [165]
HQ2: Shadowsun (135) 2 MV52 Shield Drone (40) = [175]
HQ1a: Farsight Enclave:
Battlesuit (32) Plasma Rifle (15) Plasma Rifle (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Plasma Rifle (15) Plasma Rifle (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Fusion Blaster (15) Fusion Blaster (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Fusion Blaster (15) Fusion Blaster (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Missile Pod (15) Missile Pod (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Missile Pod (15) Cyclic Ion Blaster (15) Target Lock (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [91]
Battlesuit (32) Command and Control Node (15) Multi-Spectrum Sensor Suit (20) Puretide Engram Neurochip (15) Iridium Battlesuit (25) Onager Gauntlet (5) Neuroweb System Jammer (2) Drone Controller (8) Vectored Retro Thrusters (5) 2 Gun Drones (24) = [119]

Troop1: 10 Kroot (60) Kroot Hound (5) = [65]
Troop2: 10 Kroot (60) Kroot Hound (5) = [65]
Troop3: 10 Kroot (60) Kroot Hound (5) = [65]

Fast1: 4 Pathfinders (44) Additional 3 Pathfinders (33) = [77]

Heavy1: Skyray (115) Blacksun filter (1) = [116]
Heavy2: Skyray (115) Blacksun filter (1) = [116]

Space Marines Allies:

Chapter Tactics: Red Scorpions

Sevrin Loth (205) = [205]

5 Scouts (55) Boltgun replaced by close combat weapons (0) = [55] (Transport1)

Transport1: Landspeeder Storm (55) Heavy Flamer (0) = [45]

Inquisitorial Detachment:

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (25) 3 Servo Skulls (9) = 34

Total [1848]

I think we have the same worry..... Im basically relying on calgar becoming scoring with his warlord trait and ALWAYS being ahead on killpoints. Kinda risky but i still think id have a shot. Im leaning towards list two although it involves much more painting than list 1 lol
