So, I'm building up my Tau army again, and wanted some insight from other players. The Tau codex has the following unit limits for Standard Missions: 2 HQ 6 Troop 3 Elite 3 Fast Attack 3 Heavy Support Assuming all those are filled, what is a valid point number to shoot for? I've tried to stick to 2k, but that gives me a bunch of base units with no upgrades or an incomplete roster. Here's the link to my current army: http://cmdctr.net/lists/commander-oralais-hammer/ Suggestions on point goals/build suggestions?
4k is a good shooting spot for all the bells and whistles. I can field a 5k single org char BA army, Drednaughts! Of course a single squad of marines at that point is bordering on the better part of 300 by it's self.
remember that in 6th ed. you can take a second force org at 2000 points. My personal preference for Tau was always to stack Battlesuits, because they're cool. Also, Tau are scheduled to get a new codex next year, so be wary what you buy. latest stuff says new Battlesuit models, new Kroot stuff, and Demiurg (squats).
I used to play with around 1700-2000 or 2500. Depending on where I played, Any more and I went OH GOLLY GEE. soh many options to pick
