Stealths, like crisis, are 3+ (power armor) save models in 40K. However, they also get Strength upgrade and an Attack upgrade from their stealth suit. These guys actually can fight h-t-h (like the crisis) pretty well once in base to base in 40K! NH,
I can't disagree with anything that you've said in context. I also am not proposing we change anything.
As Honda said, if the stealths don't prove worthy/valuable/balanced - whatever in the WIP v4.2.x list, I hope we can keep 'teleport' on the list of ideas to consider for this formation - that's all.
My post was simply addressing why I _feel_ dissappointed in the once elite Stealth formation, as its realized in E:A Tau.
To your comments specifically, I don't know if the forces night fight ability of the suits is accurately reflected in E:A. I would personally think the suits would become more affective at concealing them as distances between the enemy were increased and larger threats of scale were introduced onto the field. I could see an argument to say that these guys just can't be targetted until one is within X amount of range, just like 40K as the suits effects would be extended to this scale of conflict.
In fact, I'd refer you to the flavor text in our XV15 Stealth Suits - they begin to describe how the suit works to conceal/hide the suit wearer...
Of all the various Battlesuit variants of the Tau, the XV15 Stealth is the smallest - a Tau in an XV15 is hardly larger than a Fire Warrior in standard armour. However, this perfectly suits their role as infiltrators and saboteurs. In addition to the Tau Jet Pack, which is common to most Battlesuits, the Stealth suit has the unique capability of camouflaging its wearer. This is achieved by a number of holographic disruptors which are arrayed all over the suit and distort the wearer?s form, blending him into the background like a high-tech chameleon.
), I kept thinking about what Stealths with teleport could mean for the Tau.
