I have recently bought a tau gunline army with a Shas'vre guard for my Shas'o.

I am having trouble outfitting them though, the leader uses a fireknife config for his weapons with a 4+ invulnerable, drones. It is attractive to give them twin plasma TA 'swordknife' config, or should I have a swordknife and a sunforge w/ TL.

Or should I monat the Shas'o with iridum armour? He will die rather fast, but it is a gunline tau.

There's a link to my Tau Battlesuit Loadout Tactica article/thread thingie that i've been working on for like a week or so. Should answer most/all of your questions about how effective certain common loadouts are.

If something isn't listed there, and you want it tested, just post in the thread and I'll get around to running the numbers on it soon enough (usually within 24 hours.)

You've been a great help.
