Static Tau A Static Tau army focuses on raw shooting efficiency to the exclusion of all else. The mantra of the Static Tau player is always 'buy more shots'. Quantity over quality. The territory is yours for the taking if your opponent has been wiped wholesale from the field of battle. Large numbers of Rifle toting Firewarriors form the bulk of the army with a solid backbone of Broadsides in the backfield. Pathfinder units can bolster the shooting efficiency of Firewarrior units under threat of assault. Individual squads of Shas'La are deployed far enough apart so that any one of them can step forward, rapid fire an encroaching assault squad, flee from the ensuing combat, and guarantee the remaining enemy troopers are too far removed to consolidate back into close combat. An Ethereal is a tremendous help in controlling the morale of your line troopers, and his bodyguard is an amazingly efficient anti-infantry squad. Kroot offer good countercharge potential in the event things go awry, but occupy a valuable Troops slot.
