Hi everyone!!
So I tried posting a thread about 5 days ago, but it never posted for some reason.
Me and friends play against each other about once a week. The one main friend I play against plays.........Tau.......... :russianroulette: I understand that 40k is an unbalanced game, but I still refuse to believe that he is unbeatable. So I come to all of you to ask for your advise on the best possible Space Marine Army List for defeating Tau. Please keep in mind that when we play each other we do not play the usual objective style. WE PLAY PURELY FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!! Which is basically just annihilate each others army.
What he usually runs for a 1000pt list (We have played against each other so many times I know now what he usually runs):
Tau Commander
-4+invlun
-2+armor save
-FNP
-Fusion Blaster
-Missle Pod (I think thats what is called)
-Anaga Gaunlet (The one attack S10 AP1 attack in CC to autokill my commander)
Kroot Carnivore Squad
-Usually consists of 12 kroot snipers
-Kroot Shaper
Either another Kroot Squad or 6 Man Fire Warrior Squad
-This is to equal 2 Troops
He just recently got three tanks which he proxies as 1 devilfish and/or 1-2 hammerhead
-One hammerhead has the BS5 guy tank commander
-Usually sits in cover and gets a 2+ cover save for being completely obscured and having stealth on all of his tanks
(Even though we play with flat cardboard as terrain) ...
Last but certainly not least he uses MTF Riptides at least 1-2
-Usually has FNP (saves his asssssssssss....)
My army usually consists of (Roughly 1000pts)
Bikes up the arse
HQ
Capt
-Bike
-Artificer Armor
-TH
-Shield of Eternal (Mostly for Eternal Warrior as he has many S10 stuff)
Bike Command Squad
-with Apothecary (Because FNP is super helpful, well maybe not the way I roll it)
-Melta Bombs to whole squad
-2 Grav Guns (Not sure if they are combi Grav guns? Can someone please verify that with me)
Troops
Scout squads
-Snipers for those long range sitting in cover rending shoots (Very inconsistent though)
Thunderfire cannon
-To deal with his troops
Sternguard w/ Drop pod
-Combi meltas if i think hes going Tank heavy or combi plasma guns if I think hes using 2 Riptides
Or if not Sternguard
Legion of the Damned
-Purely for their ignore cover shots
-Meltagun, combi melta, multimelta
Sorry this is probably not the most easiest thing to ready. Please constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, whether it be on my army list or how I post threads. Be gentle guys.
Thanks so much!!!
