2K Tau List


Kaoshin

Recommended Posts

Hello, all!  I've been trying to formulate a 2k Tau list that can work as a take all comers in my local meta without being "That" guy.  You know the guy.  Local meta right now consists of a few space marine/chaos marine varieties, some fledgling tau, Xavier's orks, and 2+ Astra Militarum players.  The list below is what I've been putting together so far with the idea to bring my beloved kroot finally back to the table, and fire warriors are a good and more solid anti-infantry presence, but having looked at the ork , AM, and knight-containing lists popping up I'm concerned I don't have enough legit anti-tank.  Outside opinions are welcome cause I can mull over this all day and not really get anywhere with so much of my current play-style grounded in 6th and 7th.

you can easily get more command points if you re-arrange...

just move the 3 kroot squads into a separate batallion, along with two of your HQ choices (one from the battalion and one from the outrider).

aside from that, the list just seems really soft. you obviously like kroot, but they won't be doing you much favors except acting as a screen for 1 or 2 turns. i would take fewer and get some more long range shooting, like you said.
