Nicassar caravans/dhows

[Acebob]

Has anyone had any experience playing with or against Nicassar caravans/dhows? I recently came to own four of them and was wondering whether anyone else uses them.

I'm considering using some as they look quite fun and should be pretty cheap to build. I would imagine they are similar to an Ork Rok? Fracas, do you have any pictures of yours for inspiration?

Nice, didn't know they made the Dhows, I was thinking of building the caravans as they are essentially just stones from the garden with guns on as far as I can see!

No, I'm pretty sure a caravan is a rig with the four Dhows still connected, and in a campaign you're allowed to deploy them either as the slow but mobile caravan or as an immobile rig and four Dhows. I gues the idea is that the attachments that allow them to combine shields and such isn't something you can just attach and detach mid battle.

EDIT; Bear in mind I'm a newb, that's just what is says in the tau protection fleet pdf.

You are correct in that a caravan is a rig with four Dhows attatched, however in the GW rules (found in Armada or on the website), a rig is essentially just an orbital with four rigs (it counts as a Tau orbital with four grav-hooks).
