Is The Tau Christmas Box Worth It?

XV-86 Supernova battlesuit commnader farsight oshovahIn terms of raw value, this has it! With over $100 in value, you’re basically getting the Crisis Suits plus 20 bucks more. If you need everything in the box, this is a great way to get a force on the board quickly.

However, it is all big robots. GW is doing themed boxes this year, so if you want to play an army focused around Farsight, this is a buy all day long. If you’re looking for small units, you’ll want to pass on this one.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t get allocated like some recent battleforces and plenty of people get to pick it up.

How Many Points Is This?

Based on the current edition of 40k, we would guess the Tau battleforce points are somewhere around 500 points

What to Buy Next?

Tau Kill Team Dead silence 2You can round it out with some Fire Warriors or Breachers for cheap Objective Secured units and a couple of Devilfish to get them where they need to go. A Hammerhead or two adds serious anti-tank punch, while Stealth Suits (maybe from the new Kill Team box) or Ghostkeels keep your list mobile and tricky.

If you’re going all-in on Farsight’s aggressive playstyle, double down on Crisis Suits and a Coldstar Commander for those fast alpha strikes. It’s a meta-friendly mix that hits hard, scores fast, and looks great doing it.

Final Thoughts From Us: Tau Battleforce

tauxv88broadsidebattlesuit01The Tau Christmas box might not reinvent the army, but it nails what fans actually want: big suits, solid value, and an easy launchpad for a Farsight-themed list. Whether you’re starting fresh or reinforcing your existing cadre, it’s a strong pickup before the holiday rush hits.

Just don’t wait too long, these battleforces tend to vanish faster than a stealth drone under markerlight fire.
