My most common opponent plays tau and beats me silly all the time
. He makes a mockery of my "tough" Nurgle force. basically I need tactic and list help I dont want to completly change my list though so please keep that in mind. Firstly here is my list
HQ
Lord
termie armor
twin claws
icon of nurgle
=150
Elite
4 Terminators
heavy fammer
powerfist
icon of nurgle
=175
Troops
2 units of:
8 Plague marines
2 plasma guns
plague champion
powerfist
=264 (each)
heavy support
obliterator
obliterator = 150
=983
Ok now this was my original plan although it dosent seem to great after some field testing. I hold everything back for deep strike except for my plague marines obviously and move them up unfortunatly they take a beating as they move up so slowly and in the first 2 turns dont have much else to draw fire away from them. Some of you may now ask "why dont you get some rhinos?", well I have 2 reasons for that, 1: in a 100pt game I belive 100pts is alot (it adds to that after I add the extra armor) and 2: he has 2 broadsides, 2 sniper teams and a whole lot of missle pods and plasma rifles.
When the time is right I deepstrike either my lord of terminators because of their icons then i bring in the rest this is lovely untill the tau shooting phase then it all goes to hell.
This is what he fields but im not sure
comander, burst cannon cyclic ion blaster (in my opinion this is useless)
3 suits with a combination of twin-linked plasma rifles and twin-linked missle pods
6 stealths
8 firewarriors
8 firewarriors
2 broadsides
2 sniper teams
And thats it thanks for any help
