Aun'Va

Before you read on and perhaps get confuzzled about what I'm talking about I'll let you know that I'm talking about Warhammer 40K. It's a tabletop game played with little miniature figurines and vehicles and dice. I've been playing for a good while now and only really got a good grasp of the rules in the past couple years.

Anyways! I play a Tau army and have never ever used an Ethereal in my army until a couple weeks ago. 'Twas not bad at all. My friend got me Aun'Va - a special character Ethereal - which I haven't had a chance to use yet! But, I am excited and hopefully get to use him soon. I wrote up an army list with him in it and I'm thinking it's pretty solid. There's always room for improvement, but here it is! :D

(XY, the Y being the number of the unit shows how many there are. Other Numbers are the points value of that unit. Total is a subtotal of above units, while TOTAL is the sum of all the subtotals above.)

I think it's got a good mix of everything and as long as my rolls are decent... it'll be okay! lol
The only other thing I might want is a Hammerhead Gunship... but that means I need to take off something else and there isn't much I want to get rid of - I guess I could thin out a couple squads or something, but meh. I'll use the army list first and then see what I can do better next time! :D

dude, I can't remember properly, but are you sure you can give regular crisis suit team members hardwired stuffs- like drone controllers? Vaguely I think you can, but Im not certain, so I jsut wanted to point it out just incase you can't.
also, I think you're sick. I disagree with this bullcrap army list. It is not in my best interest to be your opponent! lol! jk!

seems sound to me dude, you got serious troop-killerability. Might lack in the anti-armour business though, perhaps switch up some of the crisis suit weapons for a fusion blaster or two? I dunno, see how it performs against IG, and then you'll have your answer lol!
