Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

what ever can gives u the best strategy at winning the skrimish game, just use both to ur advantage when DC comes out

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

dude he means TT (Table Top)

I'd say go with the one that would be the best for your money. Would you want an infintry based? Or would you like to have the most powerful gun in the game and take out tanks?

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

oops my bad, i dont play TT

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Well i looked at sky ray and it is best used at the back of your army because of its range of shooting so its quite affective on the other hand the hammerhead is real powerful at taking out e.g (Dreadnoughts and tanks) and other vehicles...so im stumped ah what the hell ill just buy both :p

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Buy both, and use the one you like the most. You'll always find more useful use of a unit you like , than for one you despise.

im sick to death of my beautiful leman russ's getting blown to smitherines by rail guns, get a skyray

(marshall brant)
railguns arent the most powerfull anti-tank gun in the game.
i can think of atleast 1 more powerfull

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

really whats more powerful than a S-10 AP-1 weapon?

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Hammer Head FTW!!! ITs got ion cannon and rail gun your choice. the rail gun can hit thru vehicle armour easily with a str 10 shot or can fire on awhide area with str 6 i think.

Or Ion Cannon taht fires 3 str 7 or 8 (cant remmember) shots that :0wned: infantry and lightly armour vehicles :beer:

I'd say if you're buying from teh online store grab the skyray turret while you're there, if you don't like the railgun instead of having to buy an entire new tank you only need to switch over the turrets :)

But go for the hammerhead, in my own opinion it's the better of the two tanks for the following reason :

The hammerhead railgun has two options - Submunition and Solid shot.

Solid shot - A str 10, AP1, 72" shot that will punch a hole through pretty much anything, a tank destroyer.

Submunition - A str 7? AP3, 72" shot that will obliterare almost any infantry, needing 3's to wound terminators.

Combine that with the drone smart missile systems, you have a tank with the capacicty to wipe out a lot of things :)

The sky ray has a drone smart missle system, and 6 seeker missiles, that's about it really...it's not really the best tank out there :)

^^ Submunition S 7 AP 4 72"

I've played against enough Tau as my BA to know that they can take their armour saves even after a barrage from a HH.

And I was expecting the Sky Ray to be quite a bit more anti-infantry based...Imagine if it could shoot all those missiles at once at different targets! (I think it can only choose two separate targets at a time.)

Exorcist-Now that's what the Sky Ray should've been like.

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Definately, a tau style exorsist would have been cool. If i could only dig up my tau codex from where i left it :(

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

THE ONE WITH THE MOST GUNS! It's more Tau-like.

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Screw tanks, get broadside suits, twin linked weapons are always better and broadside suits are far easier to hide than a big arse tank. Plus there is an upgrade to make them slow and purposfull.

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

I was gona say broadsides too, and get the forgeworld variants, they look sooo much better and plus they're plastic.
They have twin linked weapons so they re-roll misses and can have drones i.e. bullet sponges =P and you can have 3 in a squad, so 6 shots of rail guns, much better than just the one

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

Sky ray looks cooler, but hammerhead has better weapon options.

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

3 forge world broadsides......drool. I like hammerheads better than skyrays because the missile turret on top the skyray looks kinda weird to me. Plus hammerheads just look intimidating.

Re: Which vehicle for tau should i buy?
 

If I were you, id get the hammerhead. Trust me, i collect tau and i own both types. The hammerhead does more damage in the vital areas.
