Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Apocalypse (section)

==Tau==
Tau battle suits are effectively tiny titans, but their heavy hitters come in the form of models like the KX139 Ta'Unar Supremacy Armour and the [[Manta]], and the ability to divert wounds onto drones makes them incredibly resilient while being incredibly mobile, expect to find yourself either being bombarded from range or flanked by a nimble but destructive battle suits. Most notably they have access to rail rifles on relatively small models for relatively low costs, giving you access to macro weapons on surprisingly study, fast and yet "disposable" platforms.

*'''[[Battlesuit#KV128_Stormsurge_Ballistic_Suit|KV128 Stormsurge Ballistic Suit]]''':

*'''[[Battlesuit#KX139_Ta.27Unar_Supremacy_Armour|KX139 Ta'Unar Supremacy Armour]]''': The VERY big brother to the Stormsurge, packing even bigger and more guns, along with toughness 8 3+/5++, this dakka monster is (thankfully) more survivable than a baneblade, but can carry enough guns to deal with most targets. Being a Battlesuit it can also benefit from all that saviour protocol cheese and drone repairs which the smaller suits also benefit from, making it excellent for taking on other titans in long range duels, as chances are this monster can out shoot and survive them. Never put it in melee though, it has stomp attacks but anything remotely setup for melee will eat it alive (like almost all tau).

*'''[[Manta|Manta Super-Heavy Dropship]]''': With opponents subtracting 1 from their hit rolls and 12” from their weapon range against this model, the manta is almost immune to attacks from races like the orks, and even space marines and the like will struggle to hit this monster. And even though it’s a flier, it has toughness 8 and a 5+ invulnerability save, making it as tough as the hierophant (even tougher with the minus’ to hit), along with a huge amount of guns, and the ability to transport an entire armies worth of models, in particular, it’s macro railguns allow it to spar quite happily with proper titans, so do not be mistaken by its flying status, it’s effectively a slightly weaker war hound Titan with [[awesome|wings]]. Be aware though that if anything manages to get into melee with it and makes it unable to move its minimum distance it will be automatically slain, so watch out for lone squads of jet pack infantry with aspirations of Titan hunting.
