I've got an idea for Tau Knights. I'd like to keep the flavor of the 'sans titans' but include a tough unit that can be customized to a variety of tasks. A while back someone mentioned putting the titan weapon stats on cards for ease of use, and I'd use that idea for Tau Knights. There's only one unit (a knight-class hull) but you can pick one or two weapons from a half-dozen or so cards for it.

This gives the Tau a titan-like unit where you purchase weapons and customize it to a specific mission, and preserves the fluff that they don't go for incredibly huge units.

For stats I'll look at the Imperial Knights and price the various weapon packages equivalently. They'll have a special rule or two, and probably cost a bit more while being a bit more effective (than the Imperial Knights).

Opinions?
