Ok a friend of mine just got a nid starter army and a Mawlock/trygon.
I have seen it's stats and I have a question:
How do I counter the trygon with my tau army?

um standard tau tactic, shoot it.

Most of the tau' heavier weapons punch through it and even your fire warriors can wound it. The mawloc is harder to counter as it can eat the turn it arrives.

Remember it can't assault the turn it deepstrikes so you have at least 1 turn of shooting before it it gets in combat

Rapid firing it to death works quite well. My trygon fell from 72 rapid fire shots of fire warriors quite easily.. even 2 squads can take it down.

Kill it with fire!!! no seriously rapid firing works wonders, you have plenty of kit in the army that can make a mockery of its hight T and good armour, they are easyier than youd think to kill.
