40k Analysis What do you think is your faction's most useless Unit?

To the level that it almost never makes it into your lists, or seen others run them much except as a meme. Running a survey here, trying to find out whether other factions have these as well.

I was going to say firesight team but over the last year or so (more in 10th not 11th) I had seen him taken a few times as cheap lone op spotters or taken in some kroot lists that had a few skyrays or hammerheads to use as spotters.

But you are right he is very niche. I haven’t used him at all but I might proxy him eventually to give em a try

Check out Tabletop Terrain Human Auxiliary sniper something. I've had a tough time getting the original model and found they had a decent proxy

Did he make it?

I can confirm his time on that terrain piece was quickly coming to an end. Slightly delayed because I had interrupt money with Farsight.

One can easily argue a useful purpose for the Firesight unit (mostly just around its points cost really); tidewalls are a different challenge to convince usefulness in any list/detachment. Test a true Tau player's skill to both field these effectively and win a game.
