Datacards - Farsight Enclaves - Warhammer 40,000
J**N
Some cards are just plain useless.
I have loved most of what the new Farsight Enclaves has brought to the Tau so far, giving a few more realistic options for close combat, making Crisis Suits troop choices, and some cool formations, but these cards are insulting to the new Tau faction. Most are your vanilla objectives, Domination, King Slayer, etc., and this was to be expected, but a few of these have no business being in a Tau datacard box. Charging or issuing a challenge is more or less suicide for Tau units, and while the Enclaves have somewhat improved close combat options, it is still a stretch to demand any of these. One unforgivable oversight however is the fact that Harness The Warp is a part of this deck in any way shape or form. Tau do not have "psykers", and while the ethereals could be argued to use psychic powers, under the rules, they do not. The make matters worse, anyone up on their fluff knowledge know that the Enclaves don't have ethereals (the game rules allow them, but this doesn't solve the problem). There card is impossible to score, and thus useless. There are some decent faction objectives, but none of them really feel unique enough for the Enclaves, more like just Tau expansion.
