Triszin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 So for my army I picked up a taurox, than I am working on right now. I want to use it as a devil fish for my breacher team, to show that that are in an urban environment. I think I'm gonna put both my tanks on the same base. Would that be cool for most players?

Panzer Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Dunno, the Devilfish can FLY. That's a significant difference. There's also no excuse to go for wheels instead of anti-grav even in urban environments since anti-grav vehicles can just hover over civilians and barricades. Not sure about how durable a Taurox is compared to a Devilfish so I can't say anything about that. What kind of secondary weapons do you plan to give it? Finding a place for the Gun Drones might be difficult as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Make some hover/grav plates in lieu of the tracks and strap tau weapons on it rather than imperial. Yeah! Wargameexclusive has some nicer hoverplates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 How big is the taurox compared to the devilfish? The devilfish is BIG, and the taurox looks like a :cussty RV/apc hybrid with treads because imperium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 hmm. I think I might modify a devil fish with some Taurox bits to fit the build I want. THe size difference is more than I though. compared it last night. THe engines on the devil fish add quite a big bulk difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah the Devilfish is more the size of a Repulsor than a Taurox. The fate of sharing the chassis of our main battletank. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Krash Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Devilfish is a really good looking Tau vehicle what don't you like about it? IMO Taurox can never even look close to what Tau would use as it's just too bulky and not sleek. It just screams Imperium. (I don't mean to come off mean or snarky. As I know its all subjective, I'm just generally curious.) Krash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well, if it was carrying Gue'la... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Ya, the idea was that it was carrying Gue'vessa but, I think I have a better, simpler approach. Hull Devilfish + Taurox railing and ram. purpose is Gue'vessa squad that specialized in urban pacifcation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm all for auxiliaries but somehow I never had any interest in Gue'vessa. Firewarrior cover any kind of infantry based shooting pretty well, for hordes of chaff I don't mind to charge into the enemy I have Kroot and for slightly more expensive and mobile elite-ish infantry I have Vespid (and those always have to fight with Battlesuits for a position in the list already). Probably the reason why GW never added them to the modern T'au army as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the reason why GW never added them to the modern T'au army as well. all my squads are mixed species. I try to do this squad of 10. (usually try to do 50% minimum squad is tau) 5 tau 2 kroot 3 gue'vessa but I'll rotate it sometimes like Breacher team might be 4 gue'vessa 3 kroot 3 tau. strike team might be 6 tau 1 guevessa 3 kroot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nice idea but I prefer having my squads not mixed so it doesn't confuse my opponents. I'm probably the only one who uses the Dal'yth Warlord trait as well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping Dal'yth would doa bit more for the auxillaires and I was dissappointed by it. =( Yeah the whole Dal'yth Sept is pretty disappointing. I hate having to stay stationary to benefit from the Sept tenet, but I love having the extra survivability for my Stealth Suits and vehicles turn 1 and for my Broadside in general. Having FtGG on Kroot is ... not worth mentioning tbh but it fits my Ethereal who's always near my Kroot to share his LD anyway. The only thing I really love about Dal'yth is being able to play a Stealth Commander thanks to the Signature System. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
