Quick question, does a Tau velocity tracker allow a Tau unit to choose sky fire one turn but still fire normally the next turn?

I posted a 30k list a couple pages back and didn't get any feedback. I'ma post it again (with some tweaks) cause I'm about to spend a lot of money on forge world so if anyone has any thoughts this time I'd appreciate it... cause I'm about to hit the button on a lot of poo poo. Rite of War Terror Assault HQ Sevatar (175) Troops 10 man terror squad, 10 volkite chargers, legion drop pod, headsman has chainglaive and melta bombs (300) 10 man terror squad, 10 volkite chargers, legion drop pod, headsman has chainglaive and melta bombs (300) 9 man terror squad, 9 volkite chargers, legion drop pod, headsman has chainglaive and melta bombs (280) Elite 5xcataphractii terminators 4 lightning claw pairs, chain fist, heavy flamer (255) mortis contemptor 2x kheres assault cannon (180) Fast 10xNight Raptors, 2xchainglave, 2xpower axe, 2x power sword, huntmaster has meltabombs (315) Heavy Sicaran, lascannon sponsons, armoured ceramite (195) to take it to 2500 I'd add kurze and probably give the sgts artificer.

A few things: Terror Assault isn't a super great RoW but I assume you're aware of that. The big concern I see is a lack of high-S shooting. You have a single unit with a gun capable of glancing AV13. You're bringing melta bombs, which is good, but it's a weakness you should be aware of and will probably have to play around. The Kheres will be fine for anti-air at 2k points, except against Angel's Wrath lists, but going upwards it'll struggle if people dedicate themselves to flyers. Sevatar is great and cheap but you're not using his Warlord trait at all nor his Master of the Atramentar. The biggest issue, honestly, is that the biggest legion list strengths are things that aren't very thematically Night Lords. What you have now is absolutely fine for friendly games (and it seems like most 30k lists in general are not super optimized and instead go for flavor), so if you're aware you're leaving some possible strength on the table in the name of fluff, that's fine, just be aware of it.

I managed to grab a few pictures of the game I played yesterday with myself and Stanyer89's Blood Angels against Panascope's Nexcrons and Hixson's Eldar. The quality isn't the greatest and there aren't enough of them for a full BatRep but the game was so much fun I think they're worth posting. Four Stormravens. Four.  The remnants of my Sanguinary Guard squad along with Dante completely surrounded by filthy xenos. They've already taken 150+ shots and due to making 15-20 Feel No Pain rolls only lost some faceless mooks. Also of note are the Wraiths near the top of the screen that ended up eating a Stormraven and something like 3-4 squads of marines by the end of the game.  This looks much the same until you realize in the intervening turn that due to Quickening, Dante is at initiative step 9 and has a total of eight strength six AP two attacks. The Necron Warriors in this shot are a completely squad than the previous shot due largely to his axe.  A victory for the Blood Angels. Dante has finally fallen but a squad of Death Company were able to clear the enemy troops off the objective to contest. The match came down to a fraction of an inch on both objectives.

Those Wraiths are no joke. Multiple assaults are needed to take them down every game, unless you use Death Company.

How big are Morghast Archai compared to a demon prince? Also I do want to use the tree bros from fantasy as demonettes but I don't think I could cover all of slanessh options with tree models. Also the ghosts from camp counts would be cool flamers but again, I don't think I could cover all of tezeetch with ghost models.

Naramyth posted:How big are Morghast Archai compared to a demon prince? Morghasts are pretty huge.   They'd be perfect for Daemon Princes. As for ghost models: Reaper has a ton of ghost and undead models to work with, so there's probably enough there to cover what you'd need if that's the theme you're going for.

They get a bad rep, but that's because people don't know how to use them. If you are going with assault troops they are better than drop pods. Terror squads are expensive and I don't think you need 3 of them. Run the math- will one of those take down a squad of 20 marines and an apothecary? If not, what do you plan to send them against? You might also consider just going balls deep with aircav. Drop all your tanks for a pair of fire raptors, storm eagle, or an assault ram. A drop pod liss with a bunch of scary mean aircraft is a tough nut even in 30k. e: Also you should probably drop the Volkites from those squads.

So I played 3x1500pt games today in a tournament, using Imperial Guard (with one allied inquisitor). Lost to SM, beat SW, narrowly lost to Eldar. New standard of stupidity in game 1: My opponent deployed 1 devastator squad and, going first, dropped one pod (he deployed it behind a building specifically so I couldn't table him and win before turn 2 started). My turn 1, I moved, dicked about in my psychic phase, cast a couple powers, and then said 'oh well, that's it, go ahead'. I FORGOT MY FIRST TURN SHOOTING PHASE. God dammnit, I realised as he was doing his turn 2 movement, of course against a guy like that I didn't even ask if I could go back. The only thing I could have killed was his devastator squad (and I would have, they were staring down a Paskisher and an leman russ executioner) but between the obj they were holding the whole game and the models they killed, that might well have won me the game. Absolutely kicking myself.

Get a F.a.t. Mat. There's something to be said for having a flat gaming surface that still has plenty of detail. They're easy to store and lay out And they're cheap enough that you can have a variety of designs. I sold my urban tablescape board. I backed the kickstarter and by the time it arrived I'd already moved on.

Honestly Cataphract, you should take the Raider Detachment instead. It's way better than the Night Lords ROW. It also makes Terror Squads, or any elites, scoring and obsec. Something like:code:x10 man terror squad scouts/infiltrates somewhere safe and objective camps inside a Land Raider Proteus. Meanwhile Sevatar + 9 man terror squad inside a dreadclaw drop down and position to charge or terminator bomb somewhere nasty. Turn 2 you're basically guaranteed that almost all of your reserves will make onto the board and won't scatter near Sevatar. The fire raptor deals with medium armor, two contemptors control your backfield, and the lightning nukes heavy armor after deepstriking behind it. All your elites have osec so enjoy having 6 scoring obsec 'troops' which include contemptors, terminators, and Sevatar. You can put the dreads inside drop pods too, if you wanted. Or grab an assault ram / replace the terror squads with veteran tactical or a command squad for other trickery. I think this would be a pretty fun and pretty balanced list to play.
