Can tau battlesuits have different loadouts within a team (don't they have 2 wounds each)?

You can manipulate the statistics of losing specialists in Sternguard with combi-weapons if you take the RAW, but non-RAI interpretation. It only applies when the number of wounds inflicted is >= the number of surviving models.

Yep need the classic, basic other (termie charge from LR) is handled by LHs document. Also probably I'll just copy myself from elsewhere on coming off a drop pod beacon= MM range of 34" And chaos summoning to large vehicles (same) On my to do list :D
Seconding king in agreeing with matt, its what Ljundhammer is building at the moment..although when Mr6 relied on stuff like that I squashed him so bad he sold up his tau.

complex
As an example nob (bikers) can go up to 9+ totally different,still being viable with multiple wound spread (9 wounds before first casualty) chaos termies, battlesuits blood crushers- all do less for one reason or another (less complex options, single wounds) so I figure describe the benchmark, then refer to LHs basic instructional on it.= tools to make them up.

Valid points- I believe the gaming consensus was something like they are different until they all have spent combi weapons...but need to double check rules arguments on that one.

A combi weapon is still a combi weapon regardless of whether you've fire its single shot or not. It doesn't change what it it.

But is a combi flamer distinguishable from a combi melta before and or after.I can't remember.
Its like single use wargear (targetting squigs and things) once expended you revert to statlines of a base..?? maybe?? I can't remember

What's the in-game difference between these 3 models:
Sternguard veteran with boltgun
Sternguard veteran with combi-flamer which as fired the flamer
Sternguard veteran with combi-melta which has fired the melta

What are the requirements for forming different model sets for wound allocation?

is a combi melta different from a combi melta, if one hasn't fired and one has..lol

@ kmb: yes a combi flamer has a flamer on it and a combi melta has a melta on it :|

in game diff:

one is basic, the next kills lots of orks the next kills tanks. they all carry a diff looking weapon, and therefore their wargear (gun) is different.

Re: combi weapons before and after shots fired.

Not specifically related to complex units but it reminds me of query in a thread I read sometime ago (most probably on WSeer) about whether or not a Hunter Killer upgrade weapon could be weapon destroyed after it had fired its single shot. Anyone know what the answer is here?

By that logic, Skyrays and Manticores are pointless...

well they are still armed with the same wepaon. The flamer part doesn't fall off the weapon once the propane is used up.

does an ork nob throw his pistol away coz he can't hit with it, never uses it?

does a plasmagun totting dude who rolls a gets hot and survives now not have a weapon coz it blew up?

there's no easter eggs here James. Different combi weapons, used or not, are still different weapons.

But what is the different in-game effect? The rule states that things with the same in game effect form the same 'set' for wound allocation (EDIT - paraphrase - I don't have a rulebook in front of me).

The flamer part may as well fall off, as it has no in-game effect once it has been used.

By your reasoning a DeathWing terminator Sargeant with TLCs is in a different set to a DeathWing terminator with TLCs, depite them being exactly the same, but one is called a Sargeant.

I'm not easter egg hunting, I'm applying the rule (as I see it, and I've yet to see anything which makes me change my mind).
