Warhammer 40k General

The best way to piss off Tau is to tie them up in melee.

I have seen Daemons, Ravenwing and Eldar rip them up.

Play Eldar. You'll never be worse than top tier.

Generally, you can have a unit with Sonic Blasters, a unit with 2 Blastmasters, or a unit with CC weapons and a Doom Siren, but you probably shouldn't mix them.

They're all set up to do very different things, and while they're all fairly effective at those, you'll end up wasting points if you stick them all in one squad.

Doesn't take a whole lot to tear a Tau a new one in melee. Just gotta get there fast enough.

Chaos is garbage tier right now across the board, play whatever you think is cool and fun because you are going to lose anyway.

Sisters don't innately have the tools to melt hordes at range. Which means they're close enough to hurt your boxes and you while only losing a few much cheaper models. Shooty hordes have long ranged anti-tank weapons that break your boxes (which cost more than Marine's box thanks to that 6++) and then you while you try to get into range.

Killing Sisters with hordes is like killing Marines with hordes only you wound more often. And with Sisters lacking large blast options without allies the army suffers at weakening the hordes enough to mitigate losses.

But then again I played my Sister's both casually and competitively so maybe the things I faced in list design are different than yours.

Last game I played with Sisters I won. With 4 models vs a Necron Decurion with nearly everything still. It didn't feel like a win. 2 objectives to 1. And if the game continued I would have been tabled.

And sadly the threat of loss by tabling is way too common an issue for my gals.

Compare Sisters to Marines of wither variety and watch how much they gain for only a few points and tell me I'm bitching when I'm talking a points drop that would free up like 20 points in a normal list (two Squads of 10 BS). 1ppm down isn't unreasonable and it's just fine tuning balance a little more. I'm not asking for a change of stats just a slight drop in cost to reflect their actual fair cost in relation to the rest of the game.

Thanks. Good to know

Dar Eldar are bottom teir, especially after the FAQ dropped.

It's not too late, you can always prime a pile of purity seals in a small box and then attach them to your captain! Do tell what kinds of badass things he's done on the tabletop, I'm sure Veeky Forums would love to see them, as it's a welcome change from the usual shitposting on this board.

/40kgeneral/ obviously needs more tales of glory from individual models.

so what's the best way to play them? i'd be starting from nothing with an eldar army so where do i begin? looking at 2kpts
