Farsight, why he doesn't work

About two weeks ago I said I was going to write up a Farsight list. My intention was to write up a different list than the usual "Farsight Bomb" that is most commonly found when searching the interwebs. The best I could come up with was a variation on my 1750 Mobile Missile Line list. That basically wasn't worth posting. Farsight allows extra suits, but he costs more than a Deathrain team on his own.

Dark Eldar and how they'll affect Tau.

I've been reading over the various bits and bobs that's been available for the new Dark Eldar, and I'll be honest I think the die hard "I'll stand right here" Kauyon players could be in for a world of hurt.

At the moment the majority of armies out there are Spesh Mareens. Most Tau by now know what to expect, what their target priority is, and what to avoid. Pretty much each list will ram Rhino's and Razorbacks down your throat and either spam you with Nordic Puppy Cavalry marching to the beat from Techoviking. Or Sparkly Vampires with FNP falling from the sky with sad faces singing this track from Queen....

Dark Eldar are nothing like that.
