1997 points. Still un decided on what HQ to take. Any CC is appreciated.

If you do nothing else, grab a neuroweb jammer for your commander. It is worth the points, just keep your commander more than 12" away from your plague marines.

What is the plan for your commander? Joining the tide or the sides? Neither is optimal with his load out, but sides is better.

I suppose the tau add mid ranged fire support while the Chaos advances?

I am running them as allies for some air support as well as I like the models and am planning a full Tau army. I will probably join him with the broadsides. I don't have enough points to add enough bodyguards for him to make it worth it. I can change the HQ choice I just still not super familiar with Tau.
