I tried a lot of settings with the autarch and he actually ruled with the laser lance... Remember, that in my list you have 2 warlocks with spears 1 autarch with S6 lance in HTH hitting vehicles in the rear and a whole unit of warp spiders that can hit rear armor from deepstrike... you still have 3 shuriken cannons...<br />in 600 points games I would not expect a land rider or monolith - or am I wrong? So you should be fine without the fusion gun - or am I wrong again?<br />But, with the Fusion power you can instant someone T4 and the fusion gun is a cool thing.<br /><br />Once I blew up a hammerhead on his front armor risking a confrontation after deepstrike - with wings :) at the same time the spiders blew up a second one. I lost anyway... damn crysis suits and Tau commanders. My mate has just mastered jetpacks. Tau is very strong if it is in the right hands - that is my opinion...Lyashk the Bonesingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886978877799041677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533866221148773024.post-23118160463661054102011-02-08T18:31:44.798+00:002011-02-08T18:31:44.798+00:00Thanks for the compliment Bonesinger.

I try my best.<br /><br />I don't have any Warpspiders yet but I would love to try them out but I think in such a small point game they are too pricey. Also their minimum squad size is 5. <br /><br />An Autarch would be interesting and give me some CC punch but in such small games you need to concentrate on one aspect and do that as best you can so that your opponent will have to play your game. A farseer would provide better support and psychic defense plus I only have a Farseer model. However an Autarch can take a Fusion Gun to deal with tanks better....<br /><br />I will mull this over.......Xenos and Proudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10872942925820925740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533866221148773024.post-43582456214264445662011-02-08T13:40:53.588+00:002011-02-08T13:40:53.588+00:00I find your blog more and more interesting...
Com...I find your blog more and more interesting...<br /><br />Comment:<br />It is actually my mistake ;) - to overpower one unit :) In such a small force the autarch would be my choice with laser lance and a jetbike guardian retinue... i would go with a spear warlock in each of the remaining guardian squads for some armor busting - that way I have 3 contesting units with a hit and run possibility when shooting, and a "kick ass" HtH punch up that is a lot of S6 attacks in assault... with high initiative (you can go mandiblasters +1 attack or banshee mask for negation of grenades) I did not count the points but maybe you can pop out something in fast attack ;) - My choice would be a small warp spider unit... they are better than vipers! one warp spider has a save 3+ and two S6 shots with 3+ chance of hitting. I just hate vipers in this edition... If the terrain is right ;) (citifight would be the best one for you) you might pull of a strike and hide tactic... (but this is just a theory)<br /><br />3 x jetbike(shuriken cannon) with warlock + spear + embolden<br />3 x jetbike(shuriken cannon) with warlock + spear + embolden<br />3 x jetbike(shuriken cannon) with autarch laserlance mandiblasters<br />4 x warpspider + exarch powerblades dual spinners<br />--------------<br />601 points<br /><br />you can exchange the exarch for two warpspiders to go below 600 if you cannot exceed 600.. you can also play with the warlock powers (for example switch one warlock to a destructor dropping spear and one cannon :) - this would help agains swarm armies...<br /><br />The main punch delivers the autarch but every part of the army is capable to kill something and move fast.Lyashk the Bonesingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886978877799041677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533866221148773024.post-51607045617049894722011-01-12T21:23:24.807+00:002011-01-12T21:23:24.807+00:00You can only take 1 fast attack unit.

Plus they all benefit from Guide if I cast it on them which they wouldn't if I split them up.<br /><br />I really want to take Eldar but my Nids just stand a better chance..... hopefully....Xenos and Proudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10872942925820925740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533866221148773024.post-57702395670380246622011-01-12T20:45:03.943+00:002011-01-12T20:45:03.943+00:00What about taking the eldar but splitting the vype...What about taking the eldar but splitting the vypers up in 3 single vyper units. That way they're a little more durable. Could work.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.com
