Farsight List

Once again sorry for the delay. Most jetpack tactics are fairly similar and can be found by simply googling Tau Battlesuit tactics

This is a Farsight List for 2k the models I am basing this off of are ones I ACTUALLY have so some units may be upgraded for the sake of might as well have the 25pts worth of gear as opposed to playing under the pts level

Farsight
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Missile Pods, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Missile Pods, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker, Bonding Knife
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Missile Pods, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker, Bonding Knife, 2Shield Drones
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker, Target Locks
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker. Bonding Knife, Target Lock
Shas'Vre-Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Targeting Array, Multi Tracker, Target Lock, Bonding Knife, 2 Shield Drones

Shas'el-Aibursting Fragmentation Projector, Burst Cannon, Positional Relay, Multi Tracker, 2 Shield Drones, Iridium Armour, Stimulant Injectors

Crisis Shas'ui-Twin Linked Fusion Blaster, Flamer

8 Man Pathfinders-Shas'ui, Bonding Knife, Target Lock
Devilfish-Disruption pods, 2 Seeker missiles

Hammerhead- Railgun, Burst Cannons, Target Lock, Disruption Pods, 2 Seeker Missiles

Sky Ray- Smart Missile System, Targeting Array, Disruption Pods

Broadside Team Leader -Targeting Array, Shield Drone

The Rest of the points go to a Devilfish(Same as Pathfinder's)and fire warriors with Shas'ui that have Target Locks, Bonding Knives and MutiTrackers, and Markerlights

The Broadside is place in cover with the Devilfishes nearby towards one side, the Hammerhead and Sky Ray on the other Side with The Farsight unit towards the Center. The Shas'el goes near the Broadside (you did not think I would only use 2 Devilfish, especially not ones with no SMS's to protect a Broadside did you?) The Pathfinders and Fire Warriors go in cove in places that give them a big area to markerlight up. In objectives probably reserve the Fire Warriors.(Unless youhave a very good place to put them.)

Go for a first turn Alpha Strike. Leave the Land Raiders with the Death Star alone. Why?? your opponent will be taken back by the fact you ignore seemingly ignore the unit that can wreck your entire army by itself, thinking there may be a trap he will play more conservative with it than he otherwise would. If he holds back, the Suicide Suit deep strikes Turn 2 behind the LR. Since you have the entire LR hull in between the Deathstar and the suit he must choose your 40ish point Battlesuit or your army. If he pushes it fowards do the same thing but don't give him the choice unload Plasma Rifle Hell on the Terminators/Nobs and then providing you are in range CHARGE!!!! With Str and I 5 Farsight's Dawn Blade will reek havoc on anything and any power weapon wounds can go on the drones. Unless there is a powerfist then take the wounds on the Suits and save the drones to eat the powerfists.

Leave your comments below and let me know if you you have tried any of my lists.
