Lots of Str.7/Str.5. Decent counter-attack as well as good troop presence with over 90 scoring models. I think the Ork contingent shores up the major Tau weakness (lack of efficient troops) and allows you to aggressively move into midfield. With all those bodies you can also clog up Flyer movement, I also dont much fear the majority of Flyers due to the high number of bodies available. I know it is light on markerlights, but I dont find them to be AS necessary as many other folks do, very good of course but I don't think it is debilitating to take smaller amounts of them.
