Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

====Farsight Enclaves' Warlord Traits====

Believe it or not, you have lots of options with this army besides "Farsight Bomb Erryday" (and more with its upcoming formations), although Crisis suits will remain a staple of your army regardless of strategy, and taking Farsight is ''always recommended'', if not for his bomb then for his mate's Signature systems. Yes, you could get resourceful and get No-scatter from other sources (beacons) and have a warlord other than Farsight in order to get an even better bomb (leaving behind some of the Eight if you need to make ends meet), because ALL these traits work nice on such his squad. ''Thus, comments like "this would be great for a Bomb" should be placed [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Tau(7E)#Helpful_Hints_and_Fun_Strategies|in its section]]; this one is for general Enclave strategies''.

#'''The Way of the Short Blade:''' Schooled in Farsight's [https://youtu.be/ggAxjfkW4eM?t=259 Battlesuit-fu], the warlord has WS5 unless you're BALD AND FOOLISH and he isn't equipped with a battlesuit, in which case this gets rerolled. ''What's better than Farsight? TWO Far sights! You bought Fusion Blades, didn't you? Add the gun of your choice and you can [[A_Game_of_Pretend|pretend]] he is a slower-but-shootier Farsight. Have him lead another front or add to the deathstar. You didn't bring Fusion blades? Then reroll it - that's why you should always be Battleforged''.
#'''Echoes of the Grand Master:''' A discount Puretide Engram, your warlord can pick ONE of the following: Counter-attack, Furious charge, Monster hunter, Tank hunter or Stubborn. ''As with the original Puretide Engram, the last three rules are better than the first two, especially Monster and Tank Hunters. While getting a true Engram isn't too difficult (Sha'vastos or Tau allies) it wont do you wrong to have it repeated.(just reroll it, you can now get the signature system and get all of them)''
#'''The Way of the Broken Sword:''' For one turn only your enemy has -1 to his reserve rolls. ''Not bad per se, but "Divide to Conquer" from the BRB's Strategic Table does the same thing all game long. That's a rather good table for Tau, actually, so if you really wanted to affect his reserves you'd be rolling for that instead''.
#'''The Fire Unquenchable:''' The warlord is Fearless and has a 6" Stubborn aura. You could combine this with the Ethereal bubble for [[Commissar|Stubborn Ld 10]] while freeing up his other powers.<-TRAITOR THE GREATER GOOD IS A LIE Or it could turn your Coldstar into a sort of 'morale dispenser', his 24" move letting him get to squads in need in short time.
#'''Countercrisis:''' Crisis teams get +1 to their reserve rolls. ''Similar to #3, "Strategic Genius" provides not only  a reserves reroll for your entire army (instead of only for Crisis), but also a +1 to Seize, stackable with the Mirrorcodex, so you'd rather be using that table.''
#'''Through Surety, Destruction:''' Your warlord and his unit gain Shred during one shooting phase. ''Combine it with Volley fire for true Destruction®. Using this with a Crisis team loaded up on Burst cannons and Gun drones will leave the enemy crying (as usual), and plasma rifles become TEQ woodchippers.''
