As they enter their third sphere of
expansion, the Tau Empire has an uphill battle ahead of them. With the
introduction of flyers, and the loss of target locks on infantry models, there
are now more targets and less ability to allocate the necessary firepower to
the highest priority threats. Consequently, there needs to be an evaluation of
which weapons on which units are strongest against which types of targets. This
article will examine the proposal that seeker missiles be purchased and
allocated against flyers, and determine whether they are a worthwhile weapon
purchase. This will be determined by determining the glance and wound
percentages for the available anti vehicle weapons and examining where seeker
missiles fall along the scale. As this is a new edition, perhaps it is time to
renew this discussion.
