Tau/Eldar 1500 Army List

Hey all!
Here's my take on the new Codex: Tau Empire. I utilize the ability to put out extreme fire power and some of the more unique combinations of upgrades with the Commander XV8-05 Suits. The goal is to utilize the immense close range fire output and synergy of the tau.

The Eldar detachment serves to further 'upgrade' the fire power of the Tau, allowing for greater ranged vollies of high strength fire so my more devastating unites such as the commander Shadowblight bomb can get up close and wipe entire units. Moonblight and the plasma units will work in tandem with Shadowblight to over power specific units, and the fire warriors will support and clean up the mess, as well as initiate other engagements so as to lessen the pressure on the forward ranks. The jetbikes will protect the farseer - who in turn guides his War Walkers. Stealth Teams enhance the Jump Shoot Jump strategy and the 18" death zone of the army as a whole. As well as, with their durability, providing a final reserve late in the game of fire power that could make the difference between holding or contesting an objective.

I've already won my first game with a 1000 point strictly Tau rendition of this army. Ultimately I plan on entering tournaments. Expect pictures of the paint schemes soon!

1000 Point Eldar/Tau List

Here will be listed my 1000 point Eldar - Tau army.

For 6th edition, my goal is to run an infantry army with the focus of manipulating range and maintaining ranged superiority.

To achieve those two goals (manipulating and maintaining) I have devised a list that allows me flexibility as well as a range gradient.

Let the Worlds Drown! Beginnings of an Eldar Army

Long time since I've posted. School has really picked up, and mid-terms just around the corner (less than two weeks, yikes!).
I've decided on creating a 1500 point Eldar army, to carry my infantry-insanity across a new spectrum of the 40k universe. As I've got Space Marine infantry, Imperial Guard infantry, and Tau infantry armies built (but not completed) I've wanted something new, something fresh. So, I went to one of the oldest books (the irony is blatant, isn't it?).

Royal Oaks Gaming Club: 1,250 Imperial Guard

Royal Oaks Gaming Club has been hosting a local escalation league in which I have recently been included. The next point installment is 1,250 points, which I will be using with my Imperial Guard|Tau army. It goes as follows

Battle Report: IG vs Orks, Analysis

Hey all!! Had two games today, one against a 1500 Ork mob force, which is the focus of today's article. Learned a few things today, which I'll be addressing. Here is my 1500 list. It was fun, and a very productive day!!

Primaris Psyker Chester: An Editorial

Primaris Psyker Chester, originaly from the planet of Nocturne, has been present in several campaigns involving the Eastern Fringe and engagements with several Tau Cadres - most notably on Taros as well as a covert "overwatch" mission of Commander Farsight.

Imperial Guard: 1500 Point Army List

Below is my list designed for a 1500 point match.

Tau: 500 Point Army List

The Royal Oaks Gaming Club will be hosting an escalation league this summer and I will be attending with my Tau. Though I'll probably miss most of the games, I'll still make my lists and participate whatever way I can. So, as this is the point total we will be beginning with, here is my 500 point list.

Hobby Progress: Tau (WIPs)

Hello all, another hobby progress update. All I did since the last update was work on some armor decals for two of my Crisis Suits, Shas'vre Fire Knife and a Shas'ui Death Rain Suit. I also have my Sniper Drone Spotter, whose paint job is one of my favorites!

Narrative Campaign: The Elysian Garden

This is the introductory segment that I have written for a planned narrative campaign that will be hosted within the Royal Oaks gaming club, hopefully some time soon. Please read and enjoy the prologue to our Narrative Campaign.

Hobby Progress: Tau (WIPs)

Hello all, here are a few of my models that I am working on. 
First is Shas'el Boba Fett. Obviously not the actual Boba Fett figurine from any Lucasarts studio, but modeled with the same load out as I imagined he would have, had Fett been in the 40k universe.

Tau: Shas'el Boba Fett

Boba Fett, one of the most badass
characters ever imagined

So, eventually I will be posting what my units look like, painted. However, until then, imagine Tau, with a Star Wars theme - more over, a Boba Fett Theme - and there you have my army.

Tau Stratagem: 1,000 Point List Update

Hey guys, simply an update on my 1,000 point list for my Tau army. This will be the one I use for the up-in-coming Tau Stratagem: Tactical Fluidity, Part II. I had a few ideas come up, and wanted to integrate such into the Cadre.

Tau Stratagem: Tactical Fluidity, Part 1

In this series, Tau Stratagem, I will be discussing tactics and give descriptive examples of games I have played - soon with links to the Battle Reports - concerning Tau. Each article will be ended by a brief analysis of the topic at hand.

The Aquiescent Salamanders: Construction, pt.1

To create a force, you need to find a key strength to build
upon as its foundation

Part 1: Vulkan He'Stan and Heavy Support
Hey y'all, BurnTide here. This is the first blog-series I'm doing. This and following articles in the series will be discussing my thought-process and ideas in constructing a 2000pt Space Marine: Salamander Army. I will be doing different units of the army, and discussing what led me to choosing them.
