Love your explanations. Keep up the good work for the greater good 👍🏽

[@XSnowmanXNinjaX]

Would be cool to see a video on your Necron Matchup and what you learned from them. Great video!

[@pajugarline6121]

I think the sunforge crisis unit is best to kwep it in reserves and rapid ingres it. You can do that for 0cp also with the stealth boys. Good job!!!

[@Khobai]

massive points decrease on crisis suits, got my wish haha. theyre super worth it now.

[@Woundedon6s]

Major bump up for the Retaliation Cadre!

[@knoib2]

Great as a new tau player to get some insight, thanks for the video!

[@shadizzo4593]

I like this list, I ran it last weekend and ended up beating green tie in a close game. Going to run it in a RTT in a few weeks.

[@Woundedon6s]

That’s great to hear. I’m working on a Kauyon list for an RTT next weekend. Hoping the models I ordered arrive in time.

[@robotsaysyes8804]

What was different between your list and the top tau player for that tournament? Could be good to check out for some insight.

[@Woundedon6s]

The top ranked tau list was running 3 breachefish, and a big brick of broadsides with mussels. Also they ran no crisis suits.

[@Khobai]

@@Woundedon6s crisis suits dont seem very good to me. hopefully they get a points reduction in the next balance slate. I definitely think missile broadsides are the way to go right now. I really like skyrays and ion hammerheads as well with the -1 ap strategem. railgun hammerheads just dont seem to put out enough shots and they just feel bad into horde armies.
