How do AM deal with Tau?

[Ulrik_Ironfist]

In the interests of research, lets put out a challenge:  What is the cheapest means to kill a riptide with feel no pain in one round for guard?

Opponents stats: 6 Toughness, 5 wounds, 2+ Armour, 5+ invulnerable, +5 feel no pain.

 

My entry:

Elysian command Squad, 4 plasma guns, 1 plasma pistol

Elysian Command Squad, 4 plasma guns, 1 plasma pistol

 

260 points.

 

Both deep strike in and give themselves a Bring It Down! order, doing just over 5 wounds on average.

 

I'm kind of interested in this unit now, as 18 deep striking plasma shots with tank hunter/monster hunter, or ignores cover sounds pretty good to me.

That'll work, however an ABG Command Vanquisher with coax stubber and beasthunter shells can do it for 190 points. Both of our options rely on the opponent failing enough 5++ saves to die, your method achieves this by drowning him in them, while mine relies on him failing just one.
