Agh, I keep wanting to get back into these kind of threads but the gameplay (or at least, the rulebook) has changed so much since I was last active (late 4th edition) that it's hard to say anything meaningful in that regard. XD I've made a few custom codexes but if they're going to be put on the internet then they'd need to be updated with the hull-points and warlord traits...whatever those are.

Yes it's legal since tau don't have to take a suit commander or a firewarrior squad any more. D.O.N.T. rule?

Yes, but can you fit an Ethereal, two troops, and two riptides in 500 points?

Also, as I said, don't. Putting one Riptide in a 500 point army already makes you a douchebag.

I only do it to people that keep claiming/boasting about there prowess of making cheesy lists. it's also possible to take something like 17 riptides in a >2000 pt game.

Yeah, but that'd just be a cheese overdose. Even for Taudar tourny players!

Not if I spam flyers in the last 400-500 points. Come at me, bro!

But yes, I'm aware that the build's not invincible. If you'd rather, I can buy three riptides in a tau army.

You know what the IG needs? A taste of the old Space Marine syndrome. Three codices! Vanilla, Siege Corps, and Light Infantry!

Forlorn Hope! Dogs! Death Korps!

Devils! Elysians! Catachan!

Oh, you don't say?

I'm talking about GW and making generic siege and light infantry codices. And DK doesn't have enough ragnaroks in my opinion.

Armored company list is good enough IMO, a siege one would be nice, but you can already do a light infantry in standard codex.

I need more Leman Russes and a few chimeras to do a good on an armored list.

Oh, can you?

When I say a light infantry codex, I really mean all the irregular asymmetrical regiments. Wanna spam (Good) roughriders as troops? Wanna have minimal heavy support? Want extra fast attack? Want to scout half your army, and infiltrate the other half? Want Catachan Devils?
