i allways take up the offer of a friend of mine to use his tau
abusing movement makes suits great fun, once geared up right they can cause serious problems, and also run away pretty quick when they are in danger.

railheads are also great for this (yet to use a sky lol)
but missiles that need no LOS? great

At the moment, even enemy assault units with Fleet, Jumppacks, what have you...are unable to reach the Tau when they are firing from maximum range. More often than not, the Tau will get a round of shooting, and a round of rapid fire on open terrain. Sometimes it will just be a single turn of one...but unless Deepstriking or Outflanking...the Fire Warriors will have a round to shoot.

In a city fight, especially when fighting highly mobile enemies, the ability to even get a single round of shooting off may be out the window.
