I started with Warhammer 40K a few years ago (I am now 36), after a
short but effective persuasion campaign: They said "start playing 40K",
I said no, then I started playing 40K. I am just a sucker
for tiny models with weapons, and has been since I was a kid.
So I chose Tau. Why? Well, I had some Tau models that I
bought just because I thought they were cool, and the plan was to use
them in one of my own game ideas (I thought that Fire warriors were
robots...). Also, after reading about them, I liked the idea that
they allied with different kinds of alien species, like the kroot and
vespids. Now I have also learned to love all the possible options that
come in the form of high-tech equipment!
As many others (I guess), I started with the "Tau
Battleforce", thinking that it would give me an army that I could take
on some enemies with. And so I did, finding myself utterly crushed time
after time. It took a while (and the acquiring of more models) before I
got a hang of how Tau should be played. And now, I must say, my army
kicks some serious butt (thanks to some help from Tau blogs and forums).
Maybe I might give some helpful tips to other Tau players on this blog,
as well as to tell about my experiences with the hobby.
And why not start with a favourite of mine: A two-man
battlesuit unit with dual missile pods (not twin-linked). Maybe throw a
target lock on one of them, and split their fire. Then let them fire
missiles to their little hearts content, mainly at light vehicles! Jump
from cover, poof-poof, then jet pack move back behind cover and have
some tea. Very convenient.
