The Tau let GW let loose with their worst impulses.
Thus, the Tau fortification allowed for the dumbest thing known to man: the flying trench/wall.
This is so stupid, you usually need a Dawn of War modder to come up with something like this.

bsky.app/profile/jcdent.bsky.socialWe have seen some sorry conversions previously, but the Cadian Shock Trooper ones are just massively sad.
The traitor version was fairly uninspired, but damn.
While I in general like the idea of a tank just... not dying, this ability is one of the clearest examples why Mortal Wounds were a dumb fucking idea:
Nothing prevents game devs from invent saves that ignore Mortal Wounds. Sure, they may not call it a "save" to preserve the illusion that MWs ignore all saves, but this ability is, in effect, 5+++.
Playing horde armies in 40K was always a fool's game where money is concerned, but the new Cadians being as/more/almost (depending on what Space Marine 10 boy troop squad you compare them to) expensive as Astartes is he-la-ri-ous.
Good thing I don't have plans to buy any except for potential Kill Team purposes.
