Thread: 1850 Tau - How bad am I at this?

Just curious to see how this might stand up against the current meta in this area. Feel free to rip it apart if it's horrible.

Ugh... Hating that builder. Still need to redo one Broadside to have a drone controller.

Okay, missed that on broadside and riptide drones.

The split for the drone nets, was so thag I can use them for interceptor fire, and can still bounce my mini-buffmander through the squads as they remain, for extra marker light hits. Also, it makes no drone squad a better target than another.

Maybe change to 3 marker drones in each squad, remove broadside and riptide drone contollers, and remove riptide missile drones, and try to get a stim injector on the riptide, and velocity trackers on the broadsides.
