Hi z ... Could I make one amendment to my Tau force ... a
couple of Shield Drones to protect my Commander?

I know this will give the commander some extra game time
should he come under heavy flak. That and they do look
pretty following him about! wink

... Thanks, Walts

This idea may be dead....but, added as a note.

After watching a game of 40K (Chaos vs Tau )

I would amend the Crisis Battlesuits to Elite Infantry. (6+ to kill) 11 Morale..... with the option to add shield drones.

Costing may be difficult, 3 veteran infantry + body armour (@5 points) + 3 Lt. guns + 3 HMG. wacko

Nothing like this exists in the rules.

So would take a great deal of testing. dry
