What did I bring?I brought 1850 points of my “Slann”-themed Tau Empire army again – lots of little Tau models and suits, with lizard heads and other modest conversions here and there.
- HQ: “Fourth Servant” Shas’el with Missile, Airburst, Flamer, Target Lock, Multi
- Elite: 3x “Ranger” Crisis Suits with Twin-Missile and Flamer
- Elite: same
- Troop: 12x “Brave” Fire Warriors with Shas’ui (Ld8) upgrade and Bonding
- Troop: same
- Troop: same
- Troop: same
- Troop: same
- Fast: 8x “Scout” Pathfinders with Shas’ui (Ld8) and Bonding upgrades, in Devilfish transport with D-Pods
- Fast: same
- Heavy: 2x “Hornsuit” Broadsides with Target Arrays, 1x T-lock, and 2 Shield Drones
- Heavy: same
For this tournament, I had pretty much finished painting the army list I had been putting together for some years now. I’ve a few ideas (and models) to further expand my list, but what is here works pretty well in most games – enough firepower to stop (and clean up against) most opponents. The Pathfinders not only make the heavier units more accurate, but provide transports to give some of the scoring Troops choices more mobility. That said, this is probably the last time I field the Slann in this particular configuration, as it’s clear that there are certain inefficiencies in the force above that can’t be fixed without a rather significant redesign of the army list.
