Hi all, been doing a bit of work on the below list, will be played mostly against Tau. Do you guys think?



Farseer
Singing spear 105

10 Guardians 145
Warlock Leader
Starcannon

4 Windriders 68

5 Wraithguard 210
D-Scythes

Wave Serpent 140
Scatter laser
Shuriken Cannon
Holo fields

5 fire dragons 110

Wave Serpent 140
Scatter laser
Shuriken Cannon
Hilo fields

Leaves me with 82 points to fill, maybe a squad of rangers to infiltrate on objectives or a squad of banshees to avoid the evil tau overwatch? What do you think?
Thanks

Looks solid man. Why the warlock leader? I assume the farseer with be in that unit too? I'd use the points to up your jetbikes with scatter lasers and if you can add another. A unit of 5 works wonders. 2 units of 3 will do in a pinch. If you have the aspect warriors to complete an aspect host they do absolute work at 1000 points. Warp spiders just make people cry, and hawks will actually be able to shoot decently well against the t3 tau.

my 2 cents.

If you have only 4 bikers in a squad just losing one can make them all run away, keep that in mind.

Thanks guys, the reason for the warlock leader is just additional psychic support, may not be worth it with the dataset too though. Think I'll upgrade the bikes to scatbikes for the additional punch, maybe fit another on there I'd I can.

It seems to me you're rather heavy handed on anti-tank for a Tau opponent. Perhaps he prefers tanks to suits, but this is uncommon. If this is so, then I would reconsider the points spent in the Fire Dragons for more S6 support - Scatter Bikes, Warp Spiders, etc.

Spiders can do both tanks and suits. Very good addition either way.
