Aun'shit 2: The Shittening

Tau Eldar

A dead serious hilarious Aun'shi deck from my archives that has only 1 non sig Tau unit

This was a deck I was saving for a tournament but never found the time / opportunity to use it, so I felt that I may as well release it to the world.

The core aim is to shit out elites on the cheap left right and centre. Whilst you are losing out on giving Armourbane to your units what you're effectively doing is turning your warlord into a near impossible to kill sniper. The sig attachment is definitely just a triple shield only in this deck, but the sig event helps to get those snipe hits in, the sig unit is probably the best sig unit for an elite deck in the game (1 cost and high hp = great command potential) whilst the Sanctum makes your train a lot stronger.

Wroth and Exarchs make those extra cost reducers less dead in your hand meaning you can gun for cards and not really care how many you get. Calamity helps even out an opposing calamity sweep whilst also setting up a Wroth play. Spreading Ethereals across the planets for command means that Kanyon Strikes can potentially move your Wildriders wherever they are (as long as they aren't in the HQ). Finally, the Nightshade Interceptor is an underrated elite that mostly gets overlooked because few decks can make it work (and is also the reason the DDS is not really needed in this deck).

The only change I'd really make to this deck is to take out a Backlash and the Tacical Withdrawal for 2 Fall Back. The TW is a card that I kept going back and forward over, but it certainly has its uses and is still a double shield at the end of the day.

Hope you have fun with this, I certainly did during testing :)
