I don't really define Tau as a primarily shooty force though.
It's a force that places the shot that counts well. They are a force that can move into the best positions for their shots and adds quality to those attacks.

True, everything shoots, but it's generally not a quanitity type of shooting and more quality shooting.

Apart from the fact that is kinda a primarily shooting army ;-), it is one of the most well constructed points regarding tau iv heard in a while.

A) We'd start nearer, well at least I would
B) You've only got a 25% of penetrating with any shot
C) 3 vs 1
D) Even if it was 48, T1 turbo boost, T2 move 12 and shoot the **** out of you

He could only glance it, since Venom Cannons can only penetrate OT vehicles. Adrenal glands give you +1 inititive or WS, and he can't take both. Then again, the inititive one is wasting 15 points in that situation.

Where does it say you cant take both adrenal glands. (even though as you said adr I is wasted in this situation also its not 15 points on the fex)

At range can you harm the fex at a distance of 36" enough glancings will do damage to even the dread. (or swap out enhanced senses and venom cannon for barbed strangler that can penetrate but will have worse odds of doing anything)

3 str 10 attacks hitting on 4s wont take away 5 wounds. wheras 4 attacks hitting on 3s getting 2d6 on the damage rolls plus str 10 should take out armor 13 imo.
