Thread: Emmm Tasty new tau

This is the exact same thing as an imperial knight, a dude piloting a mech. Why the hell is it a gargantuan creature?

I think for the reason Matt listed, because Grav!? Only guessing as I have no idea.

I have a new list!

j/k Beamo already did it.

Cause it's a suit like the Tau develop. The wraith knight is a dude in a suit? Back your complaining up, but this is expected, compare to Crisis Suits v Sentinels or Broadsides v Dreadnoughts y wraithknights v riptides.

The Wraith Knight should be a vehicle too. Crisis Suits and Broadsides are dudes in suits of armor like terminators or centurions so I don't see the comparison at all.

I do wonder if there is something that can kill this thing for 600 points? (in 1 turn*)

Even 2 Grav Centurions squads in drop pods while Twin-Linked can't kill it, and I think that is the most efficient way to do it that I know of.

At least the firepower is reasonably balanced for 600 points, but god damn that survivability lol.

A bare bones Skyhammer with grav cannons can do it in one turn for 660pts

660 is the winner so far then

Riptide. There is a precedent.
