After the response I got from my last forum post, here is my new list for critique, note that my store plays by Victory Points, hence the large number of MSU's:

HQ:
Commander Shes 'el (50) with plasma gun, target lock, fusion blaster, and hard wired drone controller (2 gun drones) - 107

Elites:
2 x 3 man crisis battlesuit teams, each with plasma rifle, fusion blaster, and target lock, team leader with 2 gun drones (422 for both)

Troops:

3 x 10 man Kroot carnivore squads - 210
5 x 6 man Tau Fire Warrior squad (rifles) - 300

Heavy Support:
3 x Hammerhead Gunship with disruption pods (155 each) - 465

= 1494

Hmmm...unless you know you will be facing tons of enemies with Armour Save 2, I think your suits severely lack volume of fire. Plasma+Fusion combo gets only one shot at ranges over 12". Put in more Missile pods. Truly, Missile pod is unsung hero of the Tau army list. Plasmas and Railguns might look sexier, but it's the Missile pods which get the job done.

-Also, what's with the Target locks? Did you mean Multi-trackers?

-Talking about Multi-tracker, your Hammerheads need them. You really want to be able to move & fire.

It's very bad.

Taking small squads of firewarriors and suits with fusion blasters is probably the worst of what you should do. The Kroot are ok but need Hounds. The Crisis should be Missile Pod / Plasma. Take like one squad of 6 firewarrriors, add pathfinders and give their devilfish to that small squad of FW's. FW's are just not that great in this edition and are easy to kill in those small squads.

After doing that, give your hammerhead target lock and SmS if you want, and get a 2 man broadside team with the frills. Then your list should be good.

Hold on. You have 8 troop slots. You're only allowed 6.
