Stealth Cadre... Mark 1 (1850)

So this is the basic concept I'm going with for my 1850 Tau list that is fast-moving-sneaky themed... I was going to go with a Cadre Fireblade (or maybe even Darkstrider) instead of an Ethereal for my HQ... but Ethereals are cheaper both in terms of points and money, and have a really cool area of effect ability to buff my nearby Firewarriors, thought they do yield and extra VP when killed...

That said, here's the list... and 12 out of 18 of the Stealth Suits are old metal XV-15's... because they're awesome.

I finally broke down and bought X-Wing...

I was weak... and I went on a bit of a spending spree at one of the cooler game stores in my area... which is also a coffee shop... Alpha Omega Coffee and Games. I love that place!

Fishies!

Random intro is random: for some reason I still don't feel like a Tau player. This may be because I haven't actually played the army with my own models yet... dunno. Just struck me as odd that I feel this way... even though I'll likely end up playing the Tau more than I ever played the particular Marine variants.
