Stormraven?

I take a Raven as a dedicated transport to some Terminators but don't actually deploy them inside. I do so for the Raven to have objective secured.

 

 

Umm stormravens are not dedicated transports

Wow now I feel retarded.

 

I assumed it was the same as Codex: Space Marines (my main army) and I'm sure those Termies can take one as transport....

 

Just checked the codex and I feel dumb :-/

Agreed. I've literally only lost 1 single game due to objective secured, last turn (due to time) my mate ran his 2 rhinos at 2 separate objectives that I was claiming and won by a point. And on the flip side, I've never won a game was of yet because of it.
 
Then your Tau players aren't running very good lists. There is no reason not to take EWO if you are spending that many points on a model. 
 

 

Yeah agreed. You need a mental deficiency to not see how incredible MissileSides are. They Interceptor, they re-roll to hit already (so they don't need Buffmander as much), they produce a staggering amount of S7 which can be further buffed by markerlights (Ignore Cover for skimmers/FMC's etc). They also supplement Riptides very well. 
The guys in my meta run EWO on their burst cannon tides. I don't think they're bad, because one of them has won adepticon before so he knows how to play pretty well and he doesn't take EWO on his Missile sides. 

 

One tourney /=/ trend. 

 

I'm seeing that build a lot more nowadays. I don't see just HBC Tides, but i see one Iontide and one HBCTide a fair bit now, for that exact purpose. One gives AA Interception, the other one melts Terminators and other Deepstriking infantry. EWO is dirt cheap though, there is no reason not to run it on MissileSides (they hardly need Skyfire, given their massive S7 twin-linked output). 

The meta in my area for tau is 3 tides. 2 HBC and one Ion. 6 missile sides and a bunch of kroot or fire warriors. Each squad of missile sides are in a bunker for added annoyance and 2 tetras for marker Light spam 

 

Yeah Bunkers make them extra annoying, as you have to kill the building first. Mind you, you can cause a truly absurd number of S6 auto-hits if you penetrate several times (my DK once caused a lone Commissar in a building to take 8D6 hits from a building collapse).
