(most are Ap 5 or worse). The issue in game terms (which I will get to in a later part of this analysis) is that the Tau lack special guns, so their shooting never gets any better, and never ignores marine armor.<br /><br />Even the most sucessful shooting on the list (DE warriors) will only kill about 2.47 marines per turn of shooting. Kroot and Fire warriors are about the same. This also requires that you get those marines out of their transports.<br /><br />Looking at it you'll notice that nost of the better shooting troops are aroudn 10 points per model. More shots = more wounds, irregardless of BS.breng77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14856443949878311347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077148904772564731.post-31798146637651725182011-06-02T10:55:43.973-07:002011-06-02T10:55:43.973-07:00Neat article!
