More screwing with the list for no reason. This is ridiculous. Is it your intention to completely kill this list? I guess if I wait long enough I'll get to find out but by then I will have stopped playing it. Top marks....

Its a 25pt change on 1 formation

Yep it is. And the next instalment will have another, and the one following that. After all the other 25 point increases to FM's in the list over the past since Yme Loc picked up the AC ship.

This list needs high fm numbers. Every increase takes away one more formation because you can't quite make the points for what you need to do.

Sorry but that barely scratches the surface for me unfortunately. You've made the change. Constructive only works if I might be heard - that clearly won't happen.

Good luck with the list.

The 6.6 list has two formations and about five upgrade options that came down in price by 25pts.

and yes one formation that went up in price by 25pts.

Yep, some changes the community had been asking for for ages which also let people utilise iconic units that rarely saw use on the table top....

Guys, drop it for the time being. This is just a pissing match at this point.

This wasn't aimed at you Parintichin....

A bit OTT for a 25 points increase? Seems like a small change to me and I'm of the opinion that the Tau list is good. I'm sure it must be based on game experience too, not done for no reason.

Having considered Yme-Loc's reasoning I agree that Pathfinders should remain mounted only in the list.

Apologies if this OT but I've noticed the gun drone upgrade is different in this list to the current compendium list. Does this list supersede the compendium and if it does can anyone tell me why it was changed? Was it judged OP or something? I might actually prefer the increased cost for the option of four cheap extra bodies...

The compendium has the 6.4 list and is effectively last years compendium. The tournament pack has been updated to include all current versions of lists and includes the 6.6 list.

When the compendium is updated it will also include the 6.6 list.

As to why the change to the Drone upgrade it was to make them cheaper. The option for 4 Drones at 75pts was then mostly removed for simplicity reasons. Although 4 Drones for 50pts also probably gives too cheap an option for bulking out some formations.

Pathfinders as an upgrade option will probably be available in newer lists and indeed I believe Matt-Shadowlords Vior'la list uses just such an option and will be balanced around it.


That's correct, I have pathfinders in as an upgrade for Firewarrior formations (similar to yme-loc's list), but with the option to take them with or without devilfish.

This opens up some additional options - in fact, some of the exact ones that people have been asking for - but whether it makes for a viable airborne list is up to player discretion. Airborne assault aficionados be aware - even with the changes in this more aggressively orientated Tau list, an orca with firewarriors aint no thunderhawk ;D

Now in its 9th iteration, I'm happy with how it is playing and hope some of the other Tau players on here will give it a try.
The army list being Farsight's Vior'la means not so much that it can play more aggressively, but more that it must play more aggressively in order to hit the goal of "genuinely different not better".

I'll try get version 0.9 to Yme-Loc tomorrow in order to get another sanity-check from someone with a long history with Epic Tau, and have the list up for final playtests before consideration for approval soon.

After re-reading this I have to apologize to you Yme-Loc and everyone. I swear when I read this update it said 375 points for Broadsides in my head. I have no idea where this figure came from. I think I was under the impression they were 350 and you had added 25 points :(

Anyway, senior moment aside sorry to all who I may have upset.
