yeah, good tips for IG against tau.

1. your chimeras are going to be toasted anyway. full speed at the closest fire warriors, spin on the spot and deploy. hopefully your in rapid fire range.

2. plenty of plasmas and meltas.

3. flamers are very useful- 12 FW soon become 8 with a decent flame shot

4. dont be too confident about CC. yes your WS and I are much higher but they can be quite tough and hard to wound. plus their 4+ save is not that bad- a 50/50 chance of walking away from a decent hit. for exapmle stealth suits need a six to wound from a normal guardsman and have a save of 3+!

5. wach out for their gats. even the FW have S5 rifles and those burst cannons and gun drones can hurt

6. there is normally loads of them in big games so they are packed tight. if u have a demilisher with plasma guns use them. my dem has a HB hull mounted and  two plasma cannons. the HS and HB took out some troops in the target squad and the plasmas scattered at hit (instant deathing) some crisis suits.

5. get crisis suits in CC as quick as poss. those rail guns can be nasty
