2500 Tau Army

The point of this army is to be well rounded and be able to take on MEQ's, to Hordes and mechanized armies. I think this should be pretty good haven't play tested it with the addition of the elites and the extra pathfinders. Let me know what you think.

Isn't the Airburst Fragmentation Grenade the experimental weapon that ignores cover saves? 8-)

At five points and the current rules those freaking Disruption Pods should be standard equipment on all tau vehicles.


Etherial Nick has gotten some good use out of marker lights and negating cover saves. It's nice seeing the rise of pathfinders with how the second codex and 40K 5th ED seem to mesh well.
