stats crunching thread for remaining 11 tau units

[pizzagrenadier]

hey guys:

unfortunately forum member Dayta hasn't answered my messages for a while, he is either burned out on stats or lost interest in the game. i have waited long enough.

there are only 11 unique tau units left. all graphics were done long ago. just need the stats. i need help from the community to finish this thing up.

here are the units left :

barracuda, commander darkstrider, ethereal, gun drone squad, razershark, remora stealth fighter drones, sniper drone squad, sun shark, tetra, tiger shark, vespid.

note:

1. commander darkstrider is a unique hero unit. i envision to make him a buffed regular pathfinder unit with camo perk , since he is an infiltration expert. graphically i put him into a group of very awesomely painted unique looking pathfinder models.

2. ethereal is technically not a hero unit, but according to lore you can only have 1 in each army. anyway, i basically put a group of very cool looking tau honor guards ( elite fire warriors ) along with ethereal to make up the unit graphics. so when you guys do stats for this unit, just consider this unit to be some kind of buffed elite fire warriors ( with lower unit strength ), maybe with a melee weapon, ( honor guards and ethereal both have honor blades ) .

when you do stats follow this format ( just like the tyranid thread ) :

units

## requisition cost , ## unit strength, ## hit points, ## defense ( armor ), ## initiate, ## unit type ( infantry, tank, artillery etc ) ,
## movement type, ## movement range, ## spot range, ## melee accuracy, ## ranged accuracy, ## traits, ## what weapons they use

weapons

##range, ## strength, ## armor penetration, ## number of shots, ## base accuracy, ## accuracy penalty per hex, ## traits

if there are variants feel free to make their stats. btw, if you guys think that i missed some obscure units , feel free to mention them here, i will see if i can add them.

also when you do stat for these 11 units , make sure you reference the stats of those existing completed tau units, to work within that frame work.

thank you all, and lets make a push and finish this thing!!

Is this still going?? Suprised to see no replys?

In case your still looking for stats: Darkstrider

Used your Fireblade as a reference to make Darkstrider as they have the same weapons and attributes bar "Sv" . Recon armour(darkstrider) vs combat armour(Fireblade).

500 requisition cost , 25 unit strength, 1 hit points, 35 defense ( armor ), 12 initiative, 2 unit type, 1 movement type, 4 movement range, 4 spot range, 50 melee accuracy, 85 ranged accuracy

Explaination

I've given Darkstrider better movement and less defense because of the recon armour.

Traits
Fight in Foot: Can only fight with Pathfinders or Fire Warriors
Outflank: Camo. Also the reason for high intiative and movement.
Scout: Reason for high Spot Range
Supporting Fire: Support trait.

Weapons
Pules Rifles,
Markerlight( probably too hard to implement but maybe the terror trait with no damage??)
Photon Grenades

All from Codex. Hope this helps.

awesome thanks!

darkstrider uses pulse rifle not pulse carbine?

[nosebleednz]

Sorry, Pulse Carbine is Correct

Let me know if you need help with the rest.

Would love to see these added! The more the merrier!!

Also there's a good Commander Farsight on the GW webby. (if you're interested)

[pizzagrenadier]

well, since no one else has submitted any stats, if you can finish the rest of the 10 units that would be great !

much appreciated!!

[pizzagrenadier]

awesome , thanks man!

barracuda stats missing.

also need stats on some of the weapons you listed:

Honor blade ( i will also give ethereal regular pulse rifle for this bodyguards )

Twinlinked Pulse carbines ( what we have now is all single pulse carbine, i think )

Longshot Pulse Rifle , is that the same as rail rifle? that we have right now.

Pulse Bomb

Neutron Blaster

if anyone else knows the stats of tetra and tiger shark, feel free to post them.
