Find anyway to get them to take a morale check. If they have shield drones, get enough to die to make a check. Hit them with anything that causes enough saves to get this done.

calladus assassin is hands down the best anti broadside model IMO. Low leadership models that are automatically in charge range are fantastic.

Tank shock wouldnt be the way to go..

If somone did that to me i would death or glory them.

You auto hit so you need a 2+ to pen, and a 3+ to immobilize with AP1.

Mathematically speaking you're far from an auto kill if someone tank shocks with a rhino. You've got a slightly better than 60% chance to pass the leadership test, and then the opponent has a 16.? chance of you not penning, and then a 30% chance that you just don't stop his rhino and it zots your broadside during the tank shock. I'd say that overall, them tank shocking you isn't GREAT for you.

Scout Bikes can first turn charge Tau if MArine goes first he can multiunit charge more than one vehicle and wipe them out. They come with Krak grenades. They also come with a STR 6 which is useful in that you can swing behind and pick off rear armour.

Rear Armour? I think your confused with a Hammerhead tank. Hammerhead tanks you can take a Flechette Discharger that will cause you to take wounds on a 4+ roll. Broadsides can just sit back and fire away. Often times people will create a ring of Kroot which helps prevent the Broadsides form being assaulted unless you take out that unit first. I have broken my broadsides up into two separate squads to buffer against one squad getting tied up or taken out during the game.

I play The Tau almost exclusively and the best i have found is bikes w/ meltas. eliminate the drones and the assault him. At worst you keep him tied up from shooting.

Land Speeder Storm--Power Fist

It gets to do its scout move, then it gets to move 12 inches and the scouts get out and assault. Obviously if you don't have first turn you have to hide it behind something or rely on the cover save, this works great against IG mortars, should work great against Braodsides
