Tau and Space Wolves Allies @ 1850


The Tau shooting was doing great.  But against Marines, it needed more AP3.
Plasma Suits are point inefficient and require up-close and personal engagement and Markerlight Support to be useful.  Enter Space Marines!  Specifically the Space Wolves as their Psychic Powers are the most shooty!


ShadowSun and the Ethereal mean the army stays on the board and it has 8 scoring units!
 
Any feedback is welcome!

  1. Interesting, have you considered dropping a FW squad so that you could have 10 Grey hunters, with two plasma guns and put them in a drop pod? I think this would also help with some of the mobility issues you encounter in some games.

  2. My statement above should only be reinforced from our game last night. Drop Pod would really make a difference for you as far as freeing up your Fire warriors to advance the first couple turns.
