That was just stupid. <br /><br />C. The missiles that come in the box are seeker missiles. Just look at the Skyray. Then quickly forget about it. <br /><br />D. I am playing in tournaments on Tuesday and Saturday. I am pumped to be trying out your tactics. I bought 4 Piranhas last week. <br /><br />E. I played back in the 90's and I'm just getting back. <br /><br />Thanks for all your help.Richard Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922214044967794880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-42138922568411760862011-02-11T21:17:54.563-05:002011-02-11T21:17:54.563-05:00Richard, pathies have to take Devilfish.

I love hearing stuff like that. Thanks for the tip...<br /><br />You seem to know quite a bit about 40k but from 4th edition, are you just getting back into the game?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-45230820546552306622011-02-11T21:11:47.878-05:002011-02-11T21:11:47.878-05:00Richard, I am a cheap-skate.

Fireknife configs are present in a lot of powerful tau builds that's for sure. Are they best for an unknown enemy army list? Probably...if you can keep them cheap by taking 3 Shas'ui with missiles, plasma and 'tracker and no drones or other upgrades.. then they're only 186 points.<br /><br />I use pathies for whatever I need them for. I'd say most of the time they strip cover saves from vehicles and boost the BS of my 3 piranhas. Also very useful for broadsides. <br /><br />Setting them up is pretty much a matter of good judgement. There's a couple things to consider. 1) they need to be in cover 2) they don't need to be close to the enemy as they have a 36 inch range. 3) they need a good field of fire. 4) if needed they can be pressed into service as a speed bump unit.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-80248896808125817492011-02-11T20:54:38.142-05:002011-02-11T20:54:38.142-05:00One more.

For those of you who know military aircraft the Electronic Counter Measures(ECM) package is mounted on the wing like a missile. This way you can take it off when you don't need it and it is aerodynamic.

You don't deepstrike and they can't take objectives, the marker lights are heavy weapons so Fish of Fury is out. Whats the deal? Why not just scout move them?Richard Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922214044967794880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-57147022544092821322011-02-11T19:43:45.452-05:002011-02-11T19:43:45.452-05:00OSH,

First round is random. 2nd round is random between what's left. 3rd round is whatever is leftover.<br /><br />My Deathwing and I will see you there, trying out our new TH/SS conversions. <br /><br />Oh, and I don't mind taking a little drive on the weekends if you ever want a game.Grampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102146973125866343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-34395341748978544102011-02-11T19:28:25.164-05:002011-02-11T19:28:25.164-05:00Would you consider the Fire Knife configuration th...Would you consider the Fire Knife configuration the best for an unknown enemy condition?

Being a new Daddy makes it hard to get out and do the pre-bub things, and tournaments are good to ensure games. <br />The only issue it that in Aus we do 2 day events, and outside of major cities, one per year, so me trying to do what you are doing (which is all I can do to get games) means I often add travel to the weekend :/<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the fish'eads. <br />Remember the old Tau adage: shoot them 'til they are dead, then shoot them once more for good measure.festerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696875815801425052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-56404836183791460722011-02-11T12:33:42.062-05:002011-02-11T12:33:42.062-05:00I might just have to sign up for this one and brin...I might just have to sign up for this one and bring my Orks out to play.
