 Re: Adding Flavor To Your Tau Army
Hmm that is quite a quandry you got yourself into there my friend. here are a few suggestions from my point of view.
1) look at a few other armies, necrons, orks, space marines. all of their troops are pretty much the exact same. Ohh sure orks get different weapons within thier squads, but they are still orks. Space marines have Scouts... but ohh wait, those are just SM with crappy armour saves (they even took a way the mohawks from 2nd). So you could look at the fact that you have a varitey in your troops choices.
2)I personally love path finders. Granted I got rid of my Tau before the new dex came out, but still from what I have read they just got better because of the improved Markerlights. Any who, the fact that these guys are fast, have markerlights and can have that great sniper rifle. Yes I like it, str 6 with a great AP and it pins! What is not to love? means that not only can these guys let your other units strike with better effiency, but they are also great for disrupting enemy lines.
3) Even in Tournaments if you have a squad that represent Ogryns, but isn't the correct model 99/100 times you will be allowed to use them as long as they are GW models. I have run into the same guy on a few different ocasions that uses old Squat Models as Imperial Guard and know one gives a damn. As long as you tell your opponent what is what and you stick by what you tell them they will be cool with it.
Hope this helps,
