Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist – Farsight’s 27 T’au BattleSuits – Come At Me!
Want a Warhammer 40K armylist right out of the new 10th Edition Codex T’au Empire that is all about the Crisis Battlesuits? Here’s 27 of em! FIRE!
This T’au Empire armylist is using the points in the new codex, which are most likely not right – we know how GW LOVES to update them right away. Of course since this is heavily using suits – the three separated suit units might actually be correct on their points. I don’t know about you but somehow a T’au list that is all anime combat suits excites me. This is one of the first times I have even thought about collecting these guys, and it’s all about running a ton of Battle suits and jumping around like robot ninjas.
Each of the three Crisis Suits have a different loadout that makes them good for different things. I plan on running three of each as it is obviously the coolest way to run them. I also think I should set them up in the Retaliation Cadre, as that is the “Farsight” army and one of the better places to run that chaos sword-welding weirdo. He is a pretty suit model and for sure, will have a space in this army of nonsense.

Farsight’s 27 Crisis Battlesuits Tactics
This is T’au Empire suits all the dang time doing dumb suit stuff. You got a ton of guys on the table, they are gonna be guiding each other and then blasting the crap out of everything. The Burst Cannon super Commander seems fun as they can throw out a bazillion shots that either go Lethal or Sustained, depending on what you want. You join them with the Burst Cannon unit and you got some sweet AP action being thrown around.
It is still a lot of suits – sitting at 30 with 6 stealth suits. Will it work? Who knows, but it sure would look cool on the tabletop.
For the Greater Good!
