Great videos - just found out about your channel today. I'd recommend an index/time stamp on topics for these longer videos so we can come back a second or third time and find what we're looking for. Thanks again!
There’s so many options for crisis suits. Personally, if you want anti vehicle crisis suits; Double fusion blasters with a missile pod and bring drones. For anti infantry I’d go for Shield Generator, and two heavy burst cannons. Yeah you got no ap; but if you have a squad of 3 you got a ton of shots at strength 6. 6x6 is 36 shots and you got a 4+ invulnerable save to fall back on.
In a 1500 points list I run a unit of 3 crisis with a flamer, a fusion blaster and a burst cannon. With Mont'ka they deal a crazy amount of shots at decent AP able to take down any infantry or elite bubles. And you still have the remaining 1365 points to finish up anything that survived. :,D
@@teachergeoff9833 well, I don't have a go to yet, but so far depends on the army I'm playing against. For instance, I use velocity tracker when playing against eldar.
Thanks for the video! I recently tried to order some crisis suits but got unlucky with the shipping. Had them refunded and now I’m trying to get my hands on some new ones
Hey brother man just wanted to let ya know I just started 40k as Tau over the summer and all your videos have really helped me mentally digest it all. Thanks alot! And well done!!
So I have been playing with tau a lot lately and crisis suites are really the only thing keeping tau up in the top tier. The rest of the battlesuite units (riptides, ghostkeel, broadsides) are just rubbish. The best way I find to run them it’s 1 unit of 5 with double plasma, cyclic, shield gen and then 5 shield drones. Then 2 units of 3 with again double plasma, cyclic and shield gens (no drones). And then 2 bodyguards with double flamer, burst cannon (again no drones). Run in a farsight detachment with crisis commander (possibly farsight himself), enforcer or coldstar and shadow sun. This allows you to re-roll hits, ignore modifiers to hit, and re-roll wounds (when in 9/12”) on one unit. Then turns 1,2&3 you deepstrike in the other suites and spend 2 CP to re-roll hits and wounds. As for taking out big T8 units, the 5 man crisis blob is about 350 points. That is 25 S8 shots, really hitting on 3’s, re-rolling, wounding on 4’s (re-rolling). So about 21 hits, 15 wounds, and 7-10 after invuns. Puts it at about 20 damage to a big knight. But in reality, I find it’s easier to just ignore them and kill everything else. The double flamers are also great for killing harlequin vehicles . That 6D6 + 12 auto hits, re-rolling to wound. So about 33 hits, 18 wounds, 9 after invuns, kills either 3 bikes or possibly 2 vehicles after the burst cannons

What support system do you use on them?

Happy to help man! Thanks for the kind words!
I really miss the days when you covered Space Marines. I think you had really great knowledge and know how on their ways and I miss that :)
I am waiting for the new codex, those'll be back

Does anybody else find the drones to be weirdly adorable?
Also are battlesuits the best units in the game? If not what is better than them?
It depends on what it’s for. Right now nids harpies absolutely destroy crisis suites.
