Too bad those Trolls look like they're straight out of a Disney movie...

Looks like I have 22 I'd be willing to part with, going to hold onto the ones that go on the tank commanders and the ones that came in the Kill Team box.

I think I probably have about 25-30 helmetless heads.

"This weapon does not inflict any damage.Your opponent must subtract 1 from any hit rolls made for INFANTRY units that have suffered any hits from photon grenades until the end of the turn" No stacking grenades, but other effects can stack

Truthfully, I forget I have them every time. Then I remember after the game and think how good they could be.

Maybe you're mistaken, and it was your get starting kit that was 2 drones short?

sorry, I meant edited text, not edit button.

Highlight the edit button, and a "quote selection" option appears to click on, Although IIRC you use a playstation for surfing, so maybe not for that?

While I would LOVE that for making the army better, it would mean you can't shoot my pulse accelerator drones (or any other attached drones that do cool stuff) unless I say you can. Right now you have the ability to pick out the special drones any time you like and kill them.

........

I think as long as you achieve a "move" action and end it within 3" of the transport, it works. Manta strike I see is defined as a "set up" action, even though the unit "counts as " having moved, so it doesn't qualify.

This also means you could manta strike a unit of tac drones around a devilfish and embark them on the same turn I suppose.

"...end their move within 3" of a friendly transport, they can embark..." I suppose so, unless vanguard move doesn't actually count as a move, but I don't see an FAQ that changes the terminology.

Interesting, the rules for drones state that: "When a unit is set up on the battlefield, any accompanying drones are set up in unit coherency with it. From that point onwards, the Drones are treated as a separate unit." Pathfinders have Vanguard which reads: "At the start of the first battle round, but before the first turn begins, you can move this unit and any accompanying Drones up to 7"." So order of operations means that drones can never vanguard, since they are no longer part of the unit. Unless we all decide to define a rule for accompanying to mean "deployed with but no longer part of" ? *grumbles about GW rules again*

I think the issue here is that you technically have to deploy only one unit (in its entirety) at a time. So when you deploy your pathfinders in the fortification, the recon drone HAS to deploy at the same time, but can't in your example as you would have to deploy the Devilfish with the drone inside of it. That's how I read deployment anyway. I am by no means a rules expert though, so could be persuaded probably.

It's one of those things, when you're just starting the army, it feels like you need to cast or 3d print or steal a million of them. Once you've established a sizeable Tau army, you'll start considering using them as objective markers, or conversions because there's no way you'll use all of the ones you have.

Unfortunately, stabilizing anchors get deployed AFTER the shooting phase, so you have to be immobile through a fight and movement phase in order to get the plus 1 to shooting.

spellcrow makes some decent noise marine bits. http://www.spellcrow.com/pleasure-legions-c-9_43.html Not sure how the price pans out though.

The Stormsurge doesn't have <BATTLESUIT> but the Ta'unar does, which is kinda weird. Maybe because of the lack of arms...

Don't worry guys, I won't be able to play in the league, so no need to plan for the list I posted. Sorry I caused the escalation of lists 😄

If only it read "...targeted, or attacked separately..." instead of "...targeted or attacked separately...". Man GW needs rules editors...

"...at the end of any turn after the first battle round..." There's time to try and kill everything first at least...

I get that, it makes sense. Other than being able to Master of War twice, I personally think Shadowsun is pretty tame compared to, say, a quad fusion commander. I'm trying like crazy to make a viable list that: 1. Isn't dependent on marker lights 2. Isn't deliberately made crappy (choosing the worst weapons just because they're worse) 3. Feels unique to play 4. Has a low model count. Maybe Tau is the wrong race to be playing for me, I don't know.
