40k OFCC potential list


splinx

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

As some of you may know I'm working on some Tau at the moment and wondered what peoples views on this list is? I didn't want it to be a douche list so tried to have some fun elements in it and some non competitive stuff in there for some shenanigans. 

 

I would love some feedback and for folks to let me know if they would enjoy playing against it. 

 

Cheers

Sam

The list looks good to me! Definitely not overpowered but not too weak either. It should result in some good, balanced, and (most importantly) fun games!

 

My only suggestion would be to take something with Skyfire (the Broadsides?), as I don't see anything in your list. Maybe I've missed it?

 

Yeah i was thinking of swapping out the interceptor EWO with the sky fire and is a possibility if needed. Is there a lot of Flyers normally at OFCC?

ok so if i was to drop some troops and take a cadre fire blade can he fit into one of the fire teams on the tidewall and then the fire blade use the gunrig? does his unit still get the volleyfire? do they all have to shoot at the same target as same unit? 

He has splitfire I think you mean and yes, that is how to do it.  Cadre Fireblade should go with FW's to fire the Gunrigs.  Definitely.

 

But he wont have Skyfire.  Only the Commander can gt that.

Interesting dilemma! I will go and think on decent anti air defence for the commie fish boys! LOL

I'd probably switch the crisis suits around to have target locks in the big squad, instead of their current support system. Also I'd move the turrets to the non devilfish mounted squads. Drop the marker drones, and instead run them in the crisis suit unit, with a drone controller on the commander. Although I guess that might be a touch too powerful for what you're going for?

Yeah i was thinking of switching to target locks on the suits but didn't know if it was gonna make the list a bit more heavy? As for the turrets i could quite easily stick them on the free warriors instead as they will be more stationery in games. And yeah i was thinking of giving the suits etc the drones and then also the commander in the same squad and use his BS on the markers etc and then let the crisis guys go crazy. I guess it depends on folks if they think that will make them too OP for OFCC?

Mmm well the large crisis suit unit has its weaknesses and I wouldn't consider it a true deathstar myself, more like a mini one that can punch well but needs careful handling or it dies real fast if caught out of position.

 

Yeah the crisis suits unit being OP is defiantly not my idea for OFCC and its far from being anything like a deathstar. It is more like a unit that can take a bit of punishment and deal some out if used correctly. Alongside the commander it should be decent though! :)
