Thomas Ogden 1

Thomas’s  Tau list was made of three detachments. The first is a Battalion led by a Crisis Commander, which packs some good durability and great firepower, along with Darkstrider, which is extremely cheap and can buff a unit to have +1 to wound.

Troops see a cheap 10 man Kroot unit, which is the cheapest option for tau and serves as an easy requirement filler that cant sit on objectives, but when they die it doesn’t hurt too much since they are so cheap to field. 

Elites bring in 4 Crisis Suits, running Fragmentation Projectors, which help with chaff clearing.

Thomas Ogden 2The first detachment is finished with 3 Heavy Rail Broadsides, which are very long-range anti-armor guns as serve as the primary threat to enemy vehicles every turn they stay on the board.

The second detachment is led by a Coldstar Commander, which is similar to a normal Crisis Commander, except it features greatly boosted mobility.

Straight into the detachments Elites, there are a total of 15 Crisis Suits, 5 are running Fusion and Plasma, which provide a good amount of high-strength shots with some AP allowing for targeting more elite models or vehicles, 5 are running Ion Blasters and Plasmas for even more high strength shots, and the final 5 are running Burst cannon and Ion for a more versatile loadout that can target a wide array of units.

Thomas Ogden 3The final detachment is Shadowsun, which has always been a fan favorite, but now with her rules featuring a huge arsenal of ranged weapons, along with fantastic support abilities to the rest of her forces make her one of the most point efficient 150 pt models in the game.
