A few thoughts. Some units are marked with “*” as to show these units are not on any approved list, all the heavy suits XV104, XV109 etc , in short from the Vior’la are not marked , but that list is ofc far into hopefully soon enter approved status. But my eyes where drawn to the XV9 hazard suit, this unit also lacks a “*”, where is it from ?
I’m playing with ideas for a new Tau list at the moment , and I’m going to use this list as a starting point.
One thing that’s slightly bothering me, is the multitude of stats for “burst cannons” , many units carry them, the Stealth suits on current lists fire them at AP4+ D 15cm ,but a Piranha with burst cannons pop them of at AP5+ 15cm , so do the Hammerhead Rails.
(However, if you go to the Tournament pack, they still have “smart Missile systems” instead )
Stormsurges also carry burst cannons , they wield them at AP5+ like other viechles but here at a range of 30cm.
Now XV9s with twin linked burst cannons they are on par with stealth suits “Silenced Burst Cannons” at AP4+ Disrupt, but as XV9s are twin linked maybe they ought to even be a bit more powerful? Remora drones also carry twin linked burst cannons , but theirs don’t have disrupt.
Like I said, this is only a slight bother , and for units already on third sphere and Vior’la maybe it’s too much a bother for too little a thing.
But moving forward , I’d like me , you like playing around with new lost ideas , should we try and reach some kind of consensus on for example XV9s and Remoras Twin linked burst cannons? Personally I think the stealth drones should simply pick up the D, so they are both AP4+ Disrupt.
As a finishing note , I just want to add, great job on putting together this little sandbox list. It’s very inspiring to look at it and imagine dropping some of the units on new lists and possibly give them a little extra twist.
I just wanted to give a little nudge on these highly flexible Burst cannons , all for the greater good.
Cheers
