I'm not a fan of attaching characters to riptides. It's dubious rules-wise and it feels like a waste of a character. I can't say I've ever struggled to keep my riptides alive.

And as for the ethereal question, how I read the rules is that you choose the power at the start of the turn, and that it simply comes effect when it is used. So, yes, I think you could triple tap, then turbo boost to range of another unit and let them triple tap as well. Kind of a dick move, but I think it's legalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-7613608991489211442013-10-13T23:03:54.903+01:002013-10-13T23:03:54.903+01:00Also we are talking about making Mech Tau work, no...Also we are talking about making Mech Tau work, not Mech Eldar, or even IH-SMs.Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094776193838470456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-86749091521221742582013-10-13T12:53:54.850+01:002013-10-13T12:53:54.850+01:00My thought train got a bit carried away actually. ...My thought train got a bit carried away actually. It was more a case of theoretically legal rather than I'm definitely doing it.<br /><br />I also wouldn't call it "grumping". There's a big difference between exploring the potential of a list to bringing something nigh on unstoppable to an event like Blog Wars.<br /><br />Also I resent the implication that Tau are filthy and that's why I'm using them.
