Damn you Morg!

His tau shennaigas and re-watching district9 is making me want to start a suit heavy tau army.

List is gonna be between 18-21 suits plus some fire warriors and I want to sculpt all the suits and drones from scratch. So I started making the wire frame to sculpt the first 12 suits today and as soon as they get some das on them I'll throw up some pics in the combined "uberlog"

3 Suits 194pts
Shas'el, Frag projector, Cyclic Ion Blaster, Multitracker
2 body guard Flamers, Burst Cannons, Multitrackers

3 Broadsides, 2 with target lock, 220pts

2 Sniper drone teams 180pts

1749pts

List isn't very finly honed, so advice there would be cool as I don't play against tau very often.
Just keep in mind that I want to keep at least 18 suits in the army.

Also comp of a list like this?

I have some tau if you want them.....

What I'm going to need are loose battlesuit weapons and about 48 firewarriors.

battle suit weapons should be do-able, and I don't have all that many fire warriors, but I do have about 24, which would help

hey, 24 is half

i have some fire warriors and battle suit stuff, including broadside cannons

could you guys bring these to games night. With that I may have enough of an army to actually play a game
