1850 Point Tau Farsight/Puretide Bomb List

Hello all.

In preparation for an upcoming tournament, I'll be playing an 1850 point game of Warhammer 40k versus my good buddy Steve tomorrow.

I'm running a Farsight Bomb list with a couple of added units.  I usually play only at the 1500 point level, so I had to jazz this list up a little.

Here is my list.

Warlord
Commander Shadowsun

HQ
Commander Farsight
Farsight's Bodyguard Team:

• 3x Dual Plasma w/Target Lock
• 2x Dual Missile Pod w/Target Lock
• 1x Dual Fusion Blaster w/Target Lock
• Buff Commander (basically every possible option, but no weapons)
• 14 Total Gun Drones

Troops

6x Fire Warriors in a Devilfish

10x Kroot w/1x Kroot Hound

Elites

Riptide w/Ion Accelerator and Feels No Pain upgrade

Heavy Support

2x Skyrays

2x Broadsides as a team with Interceptor and 4x total Missile Drones

I'm also bringing some custom objective markers and terrain.  The Kroothound is also custom.  I'm using a 40mm base with some built up basing material and a series of small drones to simulate the Acute Sense rule.

I plan on taking pictures during the combat.

The larger base is a counts-as Canoptek Spyder.  The smaller base is a counts-as Canoptek Scarab base.  I'll be using the Scarab base as the counts-as Kroothound.  So...  it's a counts-as counts-as.

I cranked this bad boy out in about 4 hours or so.  It's not my best work, but it's intended for tabletop quality action.

Commander Farsight Counts-As

I bought one of the new Finecast Commander Farsight models and was very pleased with it.

I cleaned it.

I assembled it.

I primed it.

I put it in my hot car...

Sigh.

So I decided to make a newer, faster, stronger and most importantly, more durable O'Shovah.  I wanted to keep the same pose, but also to upscale the model about 30%.  As is, the model is about the same size as the older Crisis Suits.  He's a little smaller than the new Commander Crisis Suit.  I needed to fix that.  I did decide to keep the pose though.

There will be more pictures as I paint this guy.

First, one for scale context.
