Hey, I just started my Tau Army and I will be playing in my first tourney this Sunday. (I have played Raven Guard for two years and needed a change). I was looking for feed back on my list. MY usual opponents are Orks with 4 truks and gaskil, numerous SM armies, a couple of necron players, at least two or three chaos SM or Daemons players and a Black Templar player with 70 some odd troops. So as you can see I really need a take all comers list. I think this list is balanced and allows for mobility as well has heavy fire power. I have enough troops to hold/take objectives and enough heavy fire power to kill transport and heavys. So here it is let me know...

upgrade one battlesuit to a team leader and give him a HW system. for 10points to make one unique, you can then use the multiwound unit wound allocation rules that make nob bikes so hard to kill.

Would'nt it be better to put the other FR squad in the second Devilfish instead of the Pathfinders? And upgrade all the squads with leaders and drop the third Kroot unit
