I like that most of the Tier 1 units are from the first codex/miniature wave. Back to the basics.

[NornQueenKya]

Full 2000 points of kroot > anything. Fight me

[carlzerris]

Crisis suits are Top Tier. Thats all i care about. The iconic posterboys of the Tau are where they are meant to be

[shizuoheiw]

The marksman is a bit lacking sure, but it doesn't need character protection, he can't be targeted outside of 12"

[thomaschandler]

So what I'm hearing is, a Kroot only army is plausible.

[Trollpappan]

You seriously underestimate the marksman and his sniper drones. That entire unit is UNTARGETTABLE outside 12".... best backfield objective holders ever.

[MB-fvmf]

I’m a big stealth suit fan, nicely costed and can’t really see them being nerfed. They might be horrid though and remove the first turn deep strike on homing beacon …

[daveshans]

Shadowsun's redeploy is Sept locked at the minute so that's something to keep in mind if you want to take her outside of T'au Sept

[NobleChile]

One thing about farsight is its not really an "or" question between him and melee commander, as FE can take 2 commanders in one detachments.

Additionally. What do you think about squads of 10 gun drones in FSE? Deepstrike of 40 shots hitting on 4s and the monkta benefits for just 80 points?

[GoblinWizardry]

The best part about kroot is running 260 of them in a brigade. :3

[Adept]

A very nice overview video thanks 😊
It would be interesting to see a video on drones for units and if they are worth taking or not

[JasperXoR]

Honestly it feels like GW has been hinting Kroot will be good again ever since BlackStoneFortress and inclusion in Kill Team 2018

[ginggang]

Really love the videos! Thanks for putting these out!

[weathforjr]

XV9 w Fusion. 240pts, 24w, 12" d3 blast fusion (exploding 6's to hit or 4+ invuln for all 24w, *coldstar escort +8" advance, re-roll 1's, 6 to hit auto wound)), x6 free shield drones, +Mont'Ka re-roll 1's to wound.
Insane durability and output.

[IshijimaKairo]

The Stealth Suit combined with a couple Broadsides is the best strat if you ask me, but I'm playing as the Dark Tau by doing the complete opposite like mass charges instead of Hit & Run.
For The Greater Evil!

[jaychrist]

The Riptide and skyray have the best combo with the Bor'kan Strat and definitely increases their usefulness

[porcu]

Surprised the Piranha was so low. Didn't think it looked too bad all things considered. Definitely not top tier mind you.

[stripeybag]

Is it finally time for the Eight to rise? If not I'm gonna back into stasis like Shadowsun.

[EverianKalim]

Now im just waiting for that Tau FAQ before I commit to anything.

[Kintizen]

I seen multiple BT where Riptide out wounds Stormsurge. All because of mobility. Stormsurge is only Tier 1 when it's stationary.
