Subject: Tau competitive lists?

With the new tau codex still months away, I was wondering if anyone had any good viable tau lists.  Post any lists you've had success with here.

Tau Army List 1500 Points HQ Shas’ el Missile Pods Cyclic Ion Blaster Targeting Array H-W Multi-Tracker Bonding Knife Target Lock 102 Points Shas' el Missile Pods Burst Cannon Targeting Array H-W Multi-Tracker Bonding Knife 90 Points Troops 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife 115 Points 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife 115 Points 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife 115 Points Elites 3 Crisis Suits Twin-Linked Missile Pods Targeting Array Team Leader Bonding Knife 189 Points 3 Crisis Suits Plasma Rifles Burst Cannons Multi-Trackers 174 Points Heavy Support 3 Broadsides Twin-Linked Railguns Smart Missile System Targeting Array Team Leader H-W Drone Controller 2 Shield Drones H-W Target Lock 280 Points Hammerhead Gunship Hammerhead Railgun Disruption Pods Burst Cannons Multi-Tracker 160 Points Hammerhead Gunship Hammerhead Railgun Disruption Pods Burst Cannons Multi-Tracker 160 Points Total Points 1500 I originally made this list to combat Eldar, but after i used it against them and won i used it against space wolves, beat them turn two. It works really well, i put both shas' el's with the Bladestorm team (Burst Cannons and Plasma Rifles) and just JSJ in and out of LOS and cover with the Deathrain (Twin-Linked Missile Pods) pumping out missile shots. The rest you can figure out lol  Tau Army List 1850 Points HQ Shas’ el Missile Pods Plasma Rifle Targeting Array H-W Multi-Tracker 97 Points Troops 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife Devilfish Disruption Pod 200 Points 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife Devilfish Disruption Pod 200 Points 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife Devilfish Disruption Pod 200 Points Elites 2 Crisis Suits Twin-Linked Missile Pods Targeting Array 116 Points 2 Crisis Suits Plasma Rifles Burst Cannons Multi-Trackers 116 Points 2 Crisis Suits Plasma Rifles Missile Pods Multi-Trackers 124 Points Heavy Support 3 Broadsides Twin-Linked Railguns Smart Missile System Targeting Array Team Leader H-W Drone Controller 2 Shield Drones H-W Target Lock Bonding Knife 285 Points Hammerhead Gunship Hammerhead Rail Gun Disruption Pods Burst Cannons Multi-Tracker 165 Points Hammerhead Gunship Hammerhead Ion Cannon Disruption Pods Burst Cannons Multi-Tracker 130 Points Fast Attack 4 Pathfinders Pulse carbines Marker Lights Devilfish Disruption Pod 133 Points Piranha Fusion Blaster Gun Drones Disruption Pod Targeting Array 80 Points Total Points 1846 This list i used against a Grey Knight army. it worked really well aswell, i had almost won on turn two. it end up with his assassin and a HQ left i destroyed everything else  and i still have heaps of units left. i used the Piranha to zoom up first turn to try and kill his vechicles ( in this case his storm raven) but i failed the shot  i try tol disperse my army out so there was plenty of space between units so no multi-assaults and no one unit getting assaulted, its survives then gets killed in your turn then you get charged again. Tau Army List 750 Points HQ Shas’ el Burst Cannon Plasma Rifle Targeting Array H-W Multi-Tracker 93 Points Troops 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife 115 Points 10 Fire Warriors Pulse Rifles Shas’ui Team Leader Bonding Knife 115 Points Elites Crisis Suit Missile Pod Burst Cannon Multi-Trackers 50 Points 2 Crisis Suit Plasma Rifles Burst Cannons Multi-Trackers 116 Points Heavy Support Hammerhead Gunship Hammerhead Ion Cannon Disruption Pods Burst Cannons Multi-Tracker 130 Points Broadside Twin-Linked Railgun Smart Missile System Targeting Array Team Leader H-W Drone Controller 2 Shield Drone 115 Points Total Points 718 and here is a list for a small game its pretty good all round. its has plenty of fire power so it should hold up well

@IXLoiero95XI - some of your points costs don't seem to be entirely accurate? Mainly I've just glanced at the HQ suits, but you may want to check that ^^
The only list I play consistently is my all-comers list... it hasn't let me down, but we don't play in a particularly ultra-competitive environment, so YMMV. I know it's not optimal (because of the Ion-head, possibly the slightly larger than usual Kroot squad and the fact that I haven't split the pathfinders into 2 teams with no upgrades), but I'm not aiming for peak competitiveness ^^

I play an aggressive Mech List that's really successful against other Mech list's and MEQ style armies. It does surprisingly well against Necrons and Eldar, but struggles against certain hordes, mainly Tyranids (Warriors are a pain).
