Hey Dakka, here's a TAC list i've conjured up for use at my FLGS. Not much in the way of meta as everyone uses a wide variety of armies and playstyles. I decided to make this list for a few reasons: I wanted a fun way to use my new marines and codex, I wanted to compensate for the total lack of assault power Tau possess, and mostly just for fun and variety. The idea here would be to start the vanguard vets in reserve with Shrike and have them deepstrike alongside the stealth suits w/ homing beacon to get into the fight and surprise the enemy. With that being said, all comments and criticisms are welcome. Without further adieu...
