The Tyranids vs Tau battle in Warhammer 40K Battlesector shows that even though Tau can seem overpowered, they are still defeatable with proper army usage. The Gargoyles have a specific ability to Nerf organic targets, so they need to be used on everything Tau has. The Venom throes need to get as close as possible, while the Warriors need to be saved for stacking attacks. Soften up the enemies for the Warriors to get free attacks. And don't forget to make the ground toxic!
In this Warhammer 40K Battlesector skirmish, we will be using the Tyranids to play Seize and Control as the defender against the Tau army. This is the same army that we faced last time we did Ghost lands, but this time we will be playing in reverse to show how it would go if we were in the Tau army's shoes. We will demonstrate that the Tau army is defeatable, and we will use the Venom throes, Gargoyles, and Warriors to soften up the Tau army.
First things first, we want the Venom throes to get up as close as possible to the Tau army. The Venom throes have a specific ability that we need to use on everything the Tau army has. We want to debuff their accuracy, and the Venom throes' ability to corrupt the land is perfect for this.
| Venom Throes | Ability |
| --- | --- |
| Corrupt the Land | Debuffs the accuracy of organic targets |
The Gargoyles are another crucial unit that we will use to soften up the Tau army. They have a specific ability that can only be used on organic targets, which is why we cannot use it on the Riptide. Instead, we will use it on the Breachers and other organic units that the Tau army has.
| Gargoyles | Ability |
| --- | --- |
| Soften Up Organic Targets | Debuffs organic units |
The Warriors are going to be our main damage dealers. We want to save them until we can stack attacks with them. The goal is to get kills with them to activate their free attacks. The Warriors will be our primary unit for dealing damage to the Tau army.
| Warriors | Ability |
| --- | --- |
| Stack Attacks | Deals damage and activates free attacks |
In this Warhammer 40K Battlesector skirmish, we used the Tyranids to play Seize and Control as the defender against the Tau army. We demonstrated that the Tau army is defeatable by using the Venom throes, Gargoyles, and Warriors to soften up the Tau army. We hope this article was helpful in showing how to counter the seemingly cheap tactics of the Tau army. Thank you for reading!
