I put together this list as an alternative army to my crons, and would like any input on it. It is a competitive list so try to keep that in mind when tweaking it. And thanks in advance for any help.

Try just MP and PR on all crisis suits. Fusion blasters are for armies that get up close and personal...something you should not be doing with any expensive Tau HQ suits.

Add SMS to the Devilfish if you are going to run 'em. Nevermind the decoys, if you get stunned you're going to get pen'd and dead in the next shooting phase...and if you die, you die. The FW can hide.

Skyray is ok, Hammerhead is better.
BS filters aren't needed, really.

I think that FB are viable on the hq suits because of move shoot move otherwise i would put MP on them, the FB add the much needed Ap weapons that this list lacks to kill meqs.

Im also not so sure i should remove the decoys from the devilfish, re-rolling immobilised results might give me that extra turn i need to get my fire warriors in range to rapid fire a unit to death, although the extra shots from the SMS might come in handy. Ill have to think about this a while just because its a 1/3 chance to get immobilised or destroyed after a re-roll and the decoys also dont affect penetrating hits, thanks for bringing that to my attention .

skyray is for marker lights seeker missiles and another vehicle to distract fire away from my fire warriors doing their fish of fury attack... that is all, path finders are too expensive and putting a marker light in the fire warrior squad is useless because they will constantly be moving and sniper drones are very expensive for the little they can do in my opinion. And black sun filter is there to aid marker lights in night fight.

Hmmm and plasma guns don't kill marines? News to me.

Since the Skyray is so limited in what it can do, I would probably just ignore it until the Hammerhead is dead or has no railgun. Then I'd pop the devilfish, and by then the skyray might be out of missiles so I can ignore it until the rest of the army is toast...then kill it as I have opportunity.

Two hammerheads are better, really!
