What is the best HQ/points for Tau?

**Jokorey**

A generic suit that fits your army/needs.

I'm a fan of AFP/MP for all comers lists, or really whatever else I feel like I need more of.

**Acardia**

I run Shas'o with MP, PR, Shield Generator, HWMT, Stimulant Injector, 2 shield drones.

Bit overkill on the I save, but it works, and looks cool.

My 2nd HQ at 2500 points(no need for a 2nd until that point level IMO) is either shadowsun or a Shas'el with AFP and TL FLamer, HWMT and drones. at 'Ard Boyz I ran 1 gun, 1 shield.

**Alphapod**

I run an Shas'el w/ CIB, PR, Targeting Array, HWMT, HWDC, and 2 shield drones. He usually runs with two bodyguards w/ TL PRs and TAs (bodyguards to be altered in the near future.)

Space Pope is clearly the best HQ in the entire game!

**ssREV**

Fireknife 'El with drones. Works for me, because I'd rather save points to cram in as much into my list as I can, so no wasting on fancy stuff.

**orchewer**

Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Target Array, hard-wired multi-tracker. (97)

Many a Necron Destroyer have fallen to my HQ

Per point, this is the best HQ. Orchewers setup works well too but is more specific in it's uses and I'd skip the TA, you only need TAs if you play without Markerlights

ROFL

I like hq tau choices that are pretty stripped down. TL missiles and plasma with a hard wired tracker on an El. Low points cost ad very effectively fits into most army builds.
