I've found myself with a little bit of free time this weekend, so I decided to sit down and put pen to paper to write up a rather interesting army list.
Before I delve too much further into the contents of the list, I have to get some things out of the way first; I haven't actually looked at the book yet. I do own it, but I missed its arrival by a few days and so I had to leave it at home as I made my way back to the dorm....BOO! So a few of my points might be off a little bit and I might have a few things mixed up here and there, but I'm pretty certain I've got everything right.
Second, this is by no means a tournament quality list, but something fun I wanted to try it and a little bit fluffy as well as you see a majority of my army consists of suits in all the shapes and sizes. it's always been a dream of mine to have a huge Crisis Suit army, so I used this as my motivation to do it and yeah, it's really not the best Tau list out there, but I can promise you that you'll definitely get the feeling of being a renegade Shas'O if you do use it. Nothing says "renegade" better than using an excessive amount of suits!
Now that we've cleared that up, let's get into the good stuff;
