Aug 11, 2020 · Tau ships are far far superior to imperium counterparts in every fashion save for warp speed and hull durability. The latter is caused by the tau's own decision and helps with producing more ships, the former is caused by there lack of proper warp drives.

Dec 7, 2020 · NAMING TAU SHIPS As with many things the Tau adopt a very structured approach to naming their vessels. Each ship or squadron’s name is made up of a series of elements. The first element is the Sept responsible for building the ship or squadron. The second element is the ship’s class name.

May 1, 2016 · Forge world Tau is based around faster but lighter versions of the classic Tau fleet with increased front armor and more spread out launch capacity. You also get a best-in-class battleship super carrier and an extremely useful light cruiser. Forge world Tau all have 2 hp less on their line ships like Eldar.

Oct 7, 2021 · There were two Tau fleets for Battlefleet Gothic, known as the The Kor'vattra fleet, represented the fleet in general service, using designs dating to prior to the first Damocles crusade, struggled to match Imperial ships one-for-one as the ships were largely built to operate as exploration and trade craft, built around the Explorer-class battleship and Merchant-class cruiser, though it also ...

Feb 13, 2022 · The tau have some of the longest range weapons in space (og Rail Rifles) and their ships are very expensive to make for such an "small" empire. For that reason, they would use other assets as defense stations, and hit and run tactics in space, staying defensive and avoiding looses, for every capital ship Lost is a big blow.

Jun 15, 2022 · The main physical design difference between Tau ships is that their weapons are generally mounted to fire forward and to one side rather than fixed broadsides. Given that the Kor'vattra is a very recent development in Tau history, comparatively speaking, I'd think that its likely that their naval culture has been influenced by everything that ...

The Manta Missile Destroyer is actually equipped with an etherdrive, making it the smallest interstellar-capable spacecraft in Tau service, but this capability is severely limited. For all but the shortest hops along the edge of Warp space, the Manta must still …

Dec 8, 2023 · Basically, tau fleets fight more like modern aircraft than ships of the line. Without a local numerical advantage and coordinating alternating attack runs, the tau can get a few good licks in but will rapidly find themselves forced to make a decision: either run straight away and call it a draw, or commit to an attempt to get on the opponent's ...

Tau ships seem better equipped to mount their armaments in a way to fire more, and leave less of their profile open, to be fired upon, in turn. They also tend to have some of their bigger ships carry smaller ones on their bellies, so they are more likely to have support. Eldar have great accuracy, extra lances, and maneuverability.

Aug 20, 2019 · Also, Tau ships are studded with small turrets and gun-ports operated by AI’s specifically to target things like missiles/torpedoes and enemy fighters. They obviously aren’t strong enough to take out larger spacecraft from a great distance, but they serve well in a pinch against close-quarter targets.
