So, how bad is this Tau list? I have been trying to read just about everything I can but the Tau tactica seem a bit too abundant for my tastes. So I did it mostly the old fashioned way (reading the codex).

2 Broadside (2 Target Lock)

where are your multi-trackers??
drop shield generators and take those
and drop shas'o to 'el and give him targeting array and no stimulant injector maybe.. i like it but i think its not that good
and drop the shaper and take more kroot and maybe some hounds...
give broadsides ASS and make 1 team leader and give it Hard-wired target lock
and your ALL vehicles need disruption pod and hammerheads need multi-trackers too
I think heres everything i know but you could try Deathrains, crisis suits with twin MP

I would agree, drop your 'o to an 'el and give him a targeting array.

His weapons aren't that good. A troop-killy weapon does not go with a tank-killy weapon.

I would give him a Missile Pod and Plasma Rifle like your other suits.

Your suits need multi-trackers, so just drop the shield generator, as said above.

Why target locks on both broadsides? I would give them both A.S.S., and then have a team-leader with a target lock.

Hammerheads (if you take them) need multi-trackers, disruption pods, and target-locks.


If you decide to get rid of the hammerheads, I would also upgrade your 'fish and give them SMS, TA, MT, and DPs.
