Tau firewarrior squad four

The tau fire Warrior is nothing to fear he is weak and shoots no better then a imperial guardsmen. His gun on the other hand is amazing for a basic infantry weapon.

One of my favorite things I used to do with this squad and its twin was load them into there devil fish and pull off the old "Fish of fury" set up where 2 devil fish parked next to each other and dismounting the fire warriors behind them sence they were/are skimmers they did not block line of sight back then and you could shoot under them at what ever was past the transports. The thing that made this great was that with the odd shape of the devil fish hull you could rapid fire the guys that were in front of the fish but they would not have range to charge you on the next turn. So you could re mount up and fly off OR take a 2ed rapid fire turn at them.

Tau Firewarrior squad one

Ah the grunts of the tau army if the could shoot better they would be a real force to recon with. But on the bright side from what I have herd 6th edition has been kind to them with overwatch and shooting rapid fire weapons on the move at full range. I would guess these poor fellows would fair much better these days then the dark days of 4th when I played them.

Tau Fire Warrior squad 3

This squad had the honer of being the ethereals body guards when ever i wanted to play that option. they stood out a bit due to mostly not using helmets. Sadly when preforming this duty most people blasted them apart before they got to do anything due to them having +1 bs   and thus being worthy of targeting.

Tau army Lone fire warrior

Well  I sold off my Tau army a bit ago but there is no reason I cant post them up on my blog bit by bit and give you some insight into my early war gaming days.

This fellow is Shas'ui Mont'ka which means he is a fire warrior Sargent and is honored with the name mont'ka for getting a decisive killing blow. If you had the original tau codex there was a nice language section they cut out of the 5th edition one. The reason he earned the name mont'ka was in a game with a few friends years ago he was the lone survivor of his squad and passed 2 last man standing checks to take a pot shot at wolf lord in terminator and finished him off it was the most lucky set of rolls I have ever seen  the next day I added the half of a shoulder pad to his base and painted it up space wolf style to forever show his greatest dead. 

He was the only one in his squad to ever get finished painting wise by the time I had got around to painting this squad I had all ready painted three other squads of twelve so I was burned out on them.
