Skau!

So, decided to make a cheap-ass ghetto Tau army, using spare bits and Skaven. Idea is it's a Skryre army using looted tech from various battlefields. The race of course being Skaven, just imagine they exist in 40k ;)


So, here's what I'm starting off with:

HQ
Skas'el
Missile Pod
Plasma Rifle
Multi Tracker
87

Elites:
Skas'ui
Missile Pod
Plasma Rifle
Multi Tracker
62

Skas'ui
Missile Pod
Plasma Rifle
Multi Tracker
62

Skas'ui
Missile Pod
Plasma Rifle
Multi Tracker

Troops
6 Skryre Warriors (c'mon, that's clever)
60

10 Kroot (gonna use Gutter Runners for these guys, that or Stormvermin)
70

Heavy Support
Skroadside Battlesuit
Targetting Array
Team Leader
Drone Controller
Gun Drone
95

That's the 500 point army just to have a few test games etc. Should be quite amusing to say the least. I have my 4 Skas'ui and my Skas'el built (fresh tonight) and sitting next to me. Just need to do my 16 troop models. The full army I'm building towards is as follows:

(As this is the most important bit in the article, I'm posting it up in Tau lingo, so there's no confusion)

Fairly standard Tau build. Was very tempted to go plasma-less, but I realised I would just get rolled by FnP BA and Tyranids, so I decided against it.

Thoughts?
