Tau 6th Edition Troops Review, aka Firewarriors, Firewarriors, Firewarriors

This is a really really straight forwards review.  Lets start with this.  Tau Firewarriors are probably the best troops choice in the entire game.  You can probably ignore Kroot entirely, since they are no longer a combat unit.

Let me explain my thoughts.  Tau firewarriors went down in points to less than ten points each, the same points as Daemonettes, Plaguebearers and Pink Horrors.

For the low, low cost of 99 points, you can get 11 Fire warriors.  If they shoot at 7 Dark Angel tactical marines, which come to 98 points, in a book also written by the same author, then you can see what I mean.

11 Firewarriors at long range kill 2.39 Tacticals.  In rapid fire range they kill 4.79.  This is the equivelent of 33.46 points killed at long range and 67.06 points killed at short range.

The 7 Dark Angels only kill 1.57 Fire Warriors at long range, and 3.14 at long range.  In terms of points killed, at long range Dark Angels kill 14.13 points and at short range 28.26 points.

So yeah.  They are 2.37 times more points efficient at killing the cheapest marines, than the marines are at killing them back.
