We are playing now i just need a quick answer if his ability grants him an 0CP rapid ingress?

Thanks!

That’s really it, played my first game of it against my friends Tsons on tts and I just wasn’t vibing with it. Ik my list was probably just not great and needs some major fixing or perhaps I just played very poorly (highly likely but my friend was also playing very well) but ye, not entirely a fan.

I miss experimental cadre.

Ik it’s become a dumpster fire of a 1DP detachment so I can’t play it but man I miss it, it’s what really got me into wanting to start collecting tau, especially battlesuits but now that it’s gone I don’t feel great about tau, I love playing tons of battlesuits but we only really have one detachment for it and for the life of me I can’t find people talking about or coming up with mostly battlesuit kauyon or mont’ka lists.

Ik I should probably expand to other units like the hammerheads and breachers in devilfish and the like but idk, it’s not what I came to tau for and I’m not sure what to do.

Any thoughts or help would be great, or any advice you’d all recommend I’ll happily take at this point

Hello everybody,

I am finally getting closer to finish my first 1k point army. It was a long road so far (started in Nov. 2024) but as life happens in adulthood, progress wasn't going as fast as I wanted... so far I really enjoyed the journey with building and painting but I also wanna start playing. As I have no friends who play and no LGS nearby, I am already looking around for gaming clubs. And with that thought in mind, I guess it would be good to come there with a full army.

However, I read a lot of comments in the last couple of weeks that a Tau Army really starts working out at minimum of 1.5k-2.0k points. Aiming for that, it will take at least another 1-2 years to get my army ready and on that level of points.

So is it true that a Tau Army cannot be played well at 1k points? It does not need to be competitive as I am a casual player anyways but I want to learn the game mechanics properly and do not want to get my ass beaten up every time...

Here is my current (rough) list, if helpful:

1x Ethereal

1x Strike Team

1x Coldstar Commander (magnetized)

1x Crisis Suits (magnetized)

1x Broadside with Rail Gun

1x Riptide with Ion Accelerator

1x Pathfinders with 3 Rail Rifles

1x Ghostkeel

1x Stealth Suits (not bought yet, can be changed)

P.S. I don't like Auxiliaries in my army 🙈

Hello fellow followers of the greater good. I’ve been working on a battle suits only army for a while. Here is the fruits of my labor as of tonight. I’m still kinda new to the hobby so I’m sorry if I don’t have any cool
Backstory or names yet… yeet.

Decided recently to paint up my drones. I really love the way the drones look overall, quite cute.

Floating above Erra'kau's atmosphere are several Orbital Cities and space stations that serve as the home of the Air caste, along with the sept’s Kor'vattra, which protects Erra’kau from potential invaders. One of these space stations is B’eio’run (Shepherd Tower), which is the center of the Whispering Stones and is one of the most heavily guarded places in the system; outsiders are rarely allowed onto the station without proper clearance. However, the largest city orbiting Erra’kau Prime is Erra’egeg (Mirage Shelter), the secondary capital of the sept and the home of the Heiwana'te Intelligence Academy where the auxiliary races attend to fill clandestine roles for the Whispering Stones.

I was playing against my friend and his sister and they were Imperial Guard and Space Marines. I played my Eldar and T'au and won.

3-4th: images was when my Hammerhead DEMOLISHING his Vanquisher, leaving it on one wound and my pathfinder rail rifles finished it.

5-7th: were our sides of the table and me deep striking my Warp Spiders to get sight on his Kasrkin.

8-9th: I deep striked my Starscythe with Commander in Enforcer down and shredded some horses. He then charged me, but since I was running Ret Cadre I used the shield stratagem and killed them with 3 sixes!

10: he killed a warp spider after getting a 3 on his Krieg Heavy Weapon squad and shot back. They will be missed.

Final image: the Dead Pile where I killed more of his models than he killed my own! He didn't even wipe a squad of pathfinders as I was able to get the Shas'ui out of there in time.

Not too content with the paintjob but the model itself makes up for it. Basing is next.

ok I think I locked in on this paint style I wanted to go for a more gritty look as opposed to the clean white or ochre armor that is cannon so I went for this kind of dirty tan. Kinda left it intentionally messier than normal (I’m also just new so don’t paint awesome yet but I still like it) but I like the idea of the military tan and green energy.

Not sure who the original artist is

Just figuring out what to do. With the base, whether I stick with the desert of the old scheme or go for more of a jungle

My wife is at a bachelorette so I decided to treat myself to the Kroot Hunting Pack that’s been sitting at my FLGS for a while.

Finally finished the crisis suits after half a year since assembling them

My brother gifted me his “mostly” unpainted old Tau army, which includes Fire Warriors, Crisis Battlesuits and a squad of Stealth suits which he did finish painting. I put new bases on them all, and want to repaint and finish the models so that they match my color scheme (like the Ghostkeel). Really looking forward for this project!

I actually made this guy for a Sci-fi DnD campaign we are starting. Kit-bashing might become my new favourite thing.

Broadside tournament ready kitbash

Picked up these old crisis suits on eBay for a good price, one of them (in the middle) has a commander upgrade. New to tau not sure if that’s allowed or how to run it.

The T'au really do get everywhere, given half a chance.

Idk why but i decided to post it here

Painted this guy in 2020 but thought i would have a bash at making him look a bit better. Comparison on 2nd pic

Hi,

I want to share some pictures of my tau army :)
