Plan is to have the seer council fly around and flame/assault any assaulty threats to the Tau, and have the Broadsides + Commander be a point and click killing unit. Rerolls to hit, ignoring cover, BS5 Missile drones, and potentially wound(pen) rerolls on vehicles/MCs should take anything down anything I shoot. Second farseer is hoping for Invisibility for that 2+ rerollable cover save, but will settle for misfortune or prescience if I miss it.
Thoughts?

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

It isnt. I think the 3 incredibly weak troops choices are a big Achilles. I see Drakes and Scythes ruining your day because they have the mobility and reach to easily kill your troops forcing you to win by tabling or incredible positioning.. I'd tone down the deathstar, tone down the Broadsides and fill out troops a bit by adding some Kroot

You have three weaknesses:
Flyers
Drop Pods
Venom Spam
If I were to play against you, I would ignore the seer council. 900 Pt unit that can kill 1 unit per turn (more if you multi-assault, but I wouldn't bunch up). Kill the troops, and basically force you to annihilate me just to win.
I play Eldar/DE by the way, and I keep my fortuned units very small, so fortune actually pays for itself by taking shots. If you fortune that council, I'm not going to shoot it.

I think Invis/Seer lists are good, you just have to have better support. My friend plays the council as well and at 1850 is able to take 5 Troops choices and 3 MCs as well as an Aegis.

i would agree, 6th is about taking and holding objectives for the win in most scenarios and you need multiple fast and molbile troop units or troop units that can be durable. In a 1850 game I would not be using less then a min of 500 points in troops.

i personally think the riptides are a waste of piont and you dont get your bang for your buck. So drop the riptide and take more firewarrions and some rangers. Also you dont 10 warlocks 7-8 is just fine and are you taking railguns of the sides of HYMP?

Added more jetbikes, strengthened the FW squad, and gave 'em some markerlights to try and boost the Broadsides' BS. As for AA, I'm banking of VoF from the Broadsides with the rerolling hits and pens to take down flyers. The warp hunter should help with any drop pods, as it'll D-rift 'em if they drop close, and I'll keep the Seer council nearby for a turn or two just in case. Better? Worse? Sideways?
