Tau’s bread and butter right now is drone spam. And boy did this army bring it. Check out this awesome list spotted at Warzone Atlanta!
Warzone Atlanta brought some amazing armies under one roof to roll some dice. With 40k’s meta revolving around intense shooting more than anything, the Tau hit the field with incredible gun platforms shielded by a storm of Drones. Check them out!

Drones, Drones, and more Drones formed a shield wall around these Tau battlesuits. Spotted on a display board with spatterings of fauna, these Tau suits all have matching bases. But let’s get a closer look at these models now!
A Coldstar rocking fusion blasters was the Tau equivalent to a smash Captain. Being able to move practically anywhere he wants on the board and blap enemy armor, he’s the force’s quick burst of damage on a problem target.
Riptides with burst cannons and a single Y’Vhara also hit the field and hid behind a sea of Drones to jump in front of enemy fire. Between the punishing shots of overloaded burst cannons and a flamer that everyone wishes they had access too, this list was like going against a sleet storm of firepower.
Taking charge of all the Drones, these Drone Controllers just hid from the carnage and worked on maximizing the efficiency of their annoying frisbees with SD cards.
Getting a Marine’s-eye view of what it would look like to go against this list IRL, it’s just Drone after Drone with a horrifying walker laughing from safety. We have to give it to Tau, they are the undisputed “Keepaway” champs of 8th edition and still going strong.
How do you like to run your Tau? Do you prefer a Fire Warrior Gunline or Drones on top of Drones? What’s your favorite Sept to run?
