going to try out a mobile tau list. everything in it needs to move quick, to maximize the taus agility. that said, here it be. since i havent played my tau in a long time some critique would be helpful in perfecting the scheme. the basic plan, is as mentioned high mobility. the crisis suits will all deepstrike where i need them, while the foot troops utilize the fish to get where needed and avoid enemy if possible. the only real static stuff i have is the sniper drones, but im hoping thier stealth fields make them a pain to shoot at, and should provide a little bit of anti infantry support.

HQ:
shas'el, w/plasma, fusion, TA, HWMT, 2 shield drones =127
shas'el as above =127

Elites:
2 crisis suits, 1 team lead w/shield/gun drone,HWMT,TA, BK, both w/ plasma/fusion (basic suit has a MT)=164
2 crisis suits as above =164

Troops:
11 firewarriors teamlead w/ ML, MT. marker drone, BK =170
11 firewarriors as above =170

Fast attack:
8 pathfinders inc team lead w/ bonding knife = 111

Hev support:
hammerhead w/rail, SMS, d.pod, sensor spines, MT =185
hammerhead as above = 185
sniper drones (2 teams ) = 160

transports:
3 devil fish w/ d.pods sensor spines =285

Mobile tau? If you want if to be more mobile I would suggest getting transports for your firewarriors. Other than that I have no probelems with you list, its really good.

With Cover Saves everywhere in 5e and DisPods already part of your equipment, why have Sensor Spines?

Really Good? I think it's a fail.
Points are wasted everywhere on unnecessary upgrades, and firewarriors.

Full squads of FWs don't fit into "mobile Tau".

Too little Crisis Suits to pack the punch.
