Hey Everyone I'm going to a local tournament on sunday (March 8th) and i need help making my army list.
I understand how all the tau units work but I'm just wondering what to replace if should replace something.

Xv88 Battlesuit Commander CCN, MSSS, Iridium suit.
Aun'va

2 bare bones units of 12 fire warriors
10 kroot w/ sniper

riptide with ion and FNP
3 crisis suits with fusion blaster
2 crisis suits with missile pods

3 broadsides 1 rail 2 high yeild missle and ewo
hammerhead w/ longstrke and submunition
sniper drone team w/ 4 drones and 3 marksman

any suggestions are welcomed, and it would be helpful to suggest what you would replace

Never take railsides, always use them as pure missilesides

Take a single hound with the kroot for acute senses

Give the riptide EWO

Why space pope and not just a regular cheap ethereal?

Yeah, Aun'va is a strange choice - where are you thinking of playing him?

I don't think you have enough ML support either - only the sniper squad (which is good, but a bit expensive for what you are planning to do with it). You could probably trade out the Buffmander for a Mark 'O instead since he isn't going to be buffing much in this list that doesn't already have TL.

Ooor, if you would consider a bit or a rebuild - with the saved points from space pope and commander you could even squeeze another Broadside squad in there and take the Firebase Support Cade Formation?

Kroot, Hound , Sniper 75
Crisis, Dual Fusion 52
Crisis, Dual Plamsa 52
Crisis x2, Dual MP 104
Hammerhead, Longstrike, Subs, 175
Pathfinders 44
Pathfinders 44

Firebase Support Cadre
Riptide, IA, TL FB, EWO 190
Broadside x3, HYMP, SMS, EWO 210
Broadside x3, HYMP, SMS, EWO 210

Gives you buffs for the FW, 10 MLs, more flexibility in the crisis suits, and tank hunter/preferred enemy SM on everything in the FBSC. If you have tetras, take them in place of pathfinders.
