Is Competitive Play Dead in 6th Ed.? Part 2


I've already answered that in part 1. While that post was more about why I believe that competitive play isn't dead in the new edition of warhammer 40k. This one is more about how I believe it has changed, right at it's roots.

Is Competitive Play Dead in 6th Ed.? Part 1

Tau Army List 2.0

I have been incapacitated of late: I got a splinter in my thumb which got infected and swelled. It needed a cream that required a bandage around it. This made it impossible to hold a miniature steady, so I haven't been able to paint. Instead I got around to a few things I had been meaning to do for a while. One of those things was re-writing my army list.

I always write an army list before collecting any minis. It may change but it gives me a goal of what I'm going to collect and paint. I've already written one which is here but I decided to change it for a variety of reasons. Most of it is for models and units that I like. For example, I'm not sold on the XV8 Crisis suits so I dropped three of them. I love the XV25 Stealth suits models but had none of them in the list. I also love the idea of the Skyray and drones  but had none of them either. Unfortunately, to fit all of that in, I had to drop the Riptide but it will feature when the list expands to 1750 or 1850 points. So on with the list:

THE ARMY LIST

I'm not going to claim that this is a very competitive army list. I don't play competitively so the list is just mostly what I fancy. There are however some musts for a Tau gaming army and they are in this list. I obviously have fire warriors as a strong core and the "non-essential essential" units of pathfinders. Other than that, the models are all models that appeal to me as minis or because of their background. So, on with the list:
