Editing Warhammer 40,000/6th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

===Cities of Death===
The tau have a lot of good stuff for cities of death such as fast skimmers, short ranged, high RoF weapons, lots of ignore cover, and other fun stuff. Take a Razorshark with disruption pod and flechette discharger to take out those tough targets and a Skyray to deal with anything else. Darkstider and a ton of pathfinders with rail rifles. They will hide in the buildings and snipe whilst Darkstrider lowers their toughness. Fighting retreat is a good rule here as well. Whilst their assault marines charge they can blast them to pieces. (FW) Drone sentry turrets come into play here as well. Give them deep strike and put them in strategic locations around the board. They serve as blockades if the enemies get to close and if the squad of infiltrators is just out of reach. Use against scouts, looted, eldest rangers, oblitorators and other tau. Stealth suits and Commander Shadowsun get a special mention. Infiltrating and stealth + large buildings = models that just don't want to die. Pulse Carbines are very good for the cramped areas, and 24 18" S5 AP5 pinning shots can wipe out some squads in a single volley. SMSs are great here, and vespids can actually do something in cities of death (12" movement, move through cover and stealth in ruins).
