Rough Riders fit the bill as well but they are quite a costly unit to sacrifice.Īlso if we are talking vanilla the tau have barely any defensive structures they rely on broadsides to do the defensive work which is a massive disadvantage as that eats into the unit cap quite a bit. lets say conscripts or ur regular imperial gaurdsmen and then have tanks in the back to deal the damage.

If you were to defeat a player who knows how to play tau then I suggest using a somesort of meat shield to distract them. In a bot game yeah this works but PvP Tau have formidable not as energy hungry kroot which are mostly mellee only.
