56 points left, I was considering a battlesuit 'team' or possibly removing 2 kroot from the shaper squad and adding another 6 fire warriors, however I'd need a devilsfish, and even if I could get one, would it be wort it?

I still think the Stealths need to be removed entirely. I fight against someone who frequently plays Tau and whenever he brings them I can straight up ignore them if they don't wanna shoot at me. If they choose to actually engage me, they go down so easy it's a joke. He never fields them because they are that bad...they are one of the few units I would suggest more upgrades over.

Your Hammerhead needs to be a Railhead IMHO since at a Tourny you need those Transports down. All 3 of your Railguns shooting at one vital vehicle should do the trick.

Shaper on the Kroot is a waste, go ahead and keep the Hounds. 6+ armor save is just not worth the points you are putting down. If you salvage the Stealths/Shaper you should be able to fit in the Railgun on the Hammerhead and maybe 3 more suits outfitted for a different role than the suits you have now. Personally if you can being 2 groups of 3 suits I would bring one of them with MP's + Plasma and the other with Fusion Blasters and Flamers. I have always seen those do well and they compliment each other distance wise nicely.
