Since the new SM 'dex came out, I wanted to use Tigurius. So, heres my list with him and my new main army, Tau!

Tau (Main):

Commander (Vectored Retro Thrusters, Iridium, PEN, CnCN, MSSS)

Ethereal

Riptide (Ion Accelerator, Early Warning Override, Fusion)

X11 Fire Warriors

X12 Fire Warriors

X12 Fire Warriors

X20 Kroot (x1 Hound, Sniper Rounds)

X6 Pathfinders

X6 Pathfinders

Hammerhead (Railgun w/ Submunitions, Disruption Pod, Longstrike)

Broadsides (x3 Missilesides w/ EWO, x6 Missile Drones)

Space Marines (Allies):

Tigurius

X5 Scouts (Combi Melta)

Thunderfire Cannon

ADL

Tiggy goes hides in Kroot blob, who bubble wrap the Broadsides and the TFC. The Commander joins the Broadsides.

I was hoping for a "ultimate gunline" of sorts, so hard criticism and replies would be great!

Thanks!

could work but i would look for the 15 points to put early warning overide on the missle sides

Oops, they do have it! Updated first post!

More help would be great

Last thing i can think of is drop the kroot hound and one of the Fire warriors to get your scouts Cloaks and sniper Rifles, and of course play test it.

Thanks.

More help would be appreciated!

with commander, i wouldn't put him with broadside he is jetpack they aren't so his manoeuvrability is wasted on them. Drop vectored retro thrusters too if you're in CC you've already lost :(. Broadsides have twin linked anyway so CCN is kinda wasted on them. Troops yeah great with ethereal behind ADL Badass! Just not much for heavy armor so id deepstrike a fusion heavy crisis team to prevent you from being bombarded outside FW range never used kroot cause they are ugly naked tuscan raiders. But id change other things i'd run this (i won't include kroot but don't be deterred maybe just take some aspects from this list).

Commander - CCN, MSSS, Missle Pod x 2, Iridium Armor - 175
Ethereal - 50
Total: 225

FW x 12 - 108
FW x 12 - 108
FW x 12 - 108
Total: 324

Pathfinders x 5 - 55
Pathfinders x 5 - 55
Total: 110

Riptide + Ion + EWO + Velocity Tracker + SMS - 210
3 x Crisis Suits + Missle Pod x 2 (with commander) - 155
3 x Crisis Suits + Fusion x 2 (deepstrike to kill armour) - 155
Total: 520

Misslesides x 3 + 6 x Missle drones - 267
Hammerhead + Disruption pods + Sub Rounds - 145
Total: 412
