OK, are Tau Tetra's legal for this event?  I get unclear on what exactly is "40k approved" or not.  New tetra rules (as of last summer, it's possible FW will have another update .pdf for them shortly) are pretty good... I have 2 legit resin tetras, The Tau FW book (Taros?), and the update .pdf, everything.

Have you reached the 40 player cap for this yet?

There's still a couple of spots left, Ron.

SO, various forums are telling me that Tetras are 40k approved, but is there like an official list?  How do I figure that out?

On the Tetra page in the book does it have a 40k Stamp on it?

Nevermind, I found my answer:

Quote
This document provides rules updates for a wide selection of Forge World Tau Empireunits previously covered in early Imperial Armour books.Each unit entry indicates which Force Organisation Chart slot it may be selected as,which Codex this applies to, and the document as a whole bears the ‘Warhammer40,000’ stamp. This stamp indicates that the units are intended to be used in ‘standard’games of Warhammer 40,000, within the usual limitations of Codex selection and ForceOrganisation Charts. As with all our models these should be considered ‘official’, butowing to the fact that they may be unknown to your opponent, it’s best to make surethey are happy to play a game using Forge World models before you start


Ok, I've tried to format the copy and paste a few different ways but it's not working right.  Basically they're 50 pts, AV 10/10/10, Fast Open topped, scout, and have a 4 shot markerlight. 

They also reference a bunch of upgrades that don't exist anymore, like targetting arrays, I'd expect them to get updated soon. 

So 100 pts would get you 8 markerlight shots, versus 99 pts would get you 9 shots with pathfinders.  These are arguably a lot more delicate than the pathfinders but of course a lot more mobile (not that pathfinder really have trouble finding a target)....meh.  I haven't had a chance to use the models in like 7 or 8 years.

If they're in that book and the whole book is essentially "40k approved" then I see no reason you can't use them.

We filled up and proceeded to lose a bunch of people today (and will likely lose more).

If you're interested in fielding a crazy list or just want some old fashion Rouge Trader "your battle points only get you so far" type event, let me know!  There's space available.
