Goatboy’s Warhammer 40K – Meet The T’au Farsight Crisis Suit Horde
Goatboy here with a new T’au army that IS a crisis! Commander Farsight orders you to suit up soldier!
Whoa boy did the new T’au book have a rough army that can come out of it. There is so much no Line of Sight shooting in the codex. The T’au can bring stacks of AP, rerolls, and damage options. You start to see an army that will be rough to chew thru. The T’au are no longer a stack blob of drones. Instead they are filled to the brim with fast options, crazy damage output, and board control. These ensure you can do a ton of damage quickly and efficiently. Let’s look at this basic list and see how it might work.
This is me just writing up a dumb suit heavy list with a quick codex inspection. I do know this Tau Crisis Suit list is expensive to buy so there is that. I also went heavy into the No LOS options and probably picked bad stuff because I would be a bad Tau player.

T’au Crisis Suit Horde Tactics
This is a pretty simple list designed to have a lot of no LOS shooting, some bodies to move towards the middle, and then a hell of Crisis suit battle death as needed. It also needed to have the punching gauntlet. Because it would be fun to see that guy come down and knock the head off of some big bad with its super punch. There is a ton of Damage 3 plasma too so it can easily pour out the shots as needed. I did put a few marker lights to help out the longer range stuff as needed. But it might not be warranted if you just go all in and start to knocking people out. Either way – it is a Tau army that if you price it out now, would be pricy. It needs 4 boxes of Suits to get started.
Commander Farsight says the Ethereals LIE!
