Yes I do. And it frequently gets shot up. Seath's wraithlord cut it in half like the second turn of a match.

I used to do this, seeing as my box set came with three crisis suits I ran one as a HQ... then I got Shadowsun.

Noted. I'll have to use my broadside some more to get a better feel of how it works for me first.

I'm really not impressed with my kroot. They're gun is irrelevant to me in such a shooty shooty army... and their WS leaves something to be desired. Plus, it's sinking points into speed bumps... speed bumps that have been mediocre so far for me. We'll see.

Agreed. And I like giant robots!

My Devilfish and Hammerhead are heavily hit on the front lines I run into situations where one of or the other gets destroyed every game... and the seeker missiles along with it. My thought is the Skyray could hang back and then move up and tank shock/support in the latter rounds.

Noted. I'll try putting markerlights in the FW squads.

Hmmm. I'll think on them some more then.

Noted.

I would agree that it's such a huge investment, and it makes me leery... I'd probably be better off using Ogryn stats and house ruling them as another unrelated alien race in service of the tau.

...eh....
Thanks for the pointers, Ikky!
