Hey guys, lately I've been pretty indecisive about which army I'll be expanding on around Christmas. Thusly, Taudar!

The tournament scene I have in my area is pretty broad, but there are a lot of people in my area that do really well in tournaments like Feast of Blades and Wargamescon.

Heres the list:

Tau (Main):

HQs:

Crisis Commander (PEN Chip, Multi-Spectrum Sensors) - 120

Ethereal - 50

Elites:

Riptide (Ion Accelerator, TL Fusion Blaster, EWO) 190

Troops:

x9 Fire Warriors - 81

x9 Fire Warriors - 81

x9 Fire Warriors - 81

Kroot Carnivores (10 Kroot, x2 Hounds) - 70

Kroot Carnivores (10 Kroot, x2 Hounds) - 70

Fast Attack:

x5 Pathfinders - 55

x5 Pathfinders - 55

Heavy Support:

Broadsides (x3 Missilesides w/ EWO, x6 Missile Drones) - 282

Broadsides (x3 Missilesides w/ EWO, x6 Missile Drones) - 282

Broadsides (x3 Missilesides w/ EWO, x6 Missile Drones) - 282

Eldar (Allies):

HQs:

Farseer - 100

Troops:

Windrider Jetbikes - 51

The Farseer rolls 1 on Divination to get Prescience and puts the other 2 on Fate where I hope for Doom. The Commander shuffles between the Broadsides or joins the Riptide.

Any advice on tactics or the list would be awesome! I've been looking for a really competitive tournament army, so harsh advice is always welcome!

Thanks for looking,

Looks pretty solid... Your troops seem a bit fragile with no ADL, what's the plan for them?

Camp behind ruins and stuff. I'm actually thinking about dropping 2 Fire Warriors and 1 Drone from each Broadside Squad to get and ADL.

I agree, you need a basic adl for the ethreal fw bubble spam. Try dropping a hound off each kroot squad as they only need 1 and a couple of missle drones. The 4+ Cover save for your sides and fw's will more than make up for it.

Thanks! So, drop 1 Hound from each squad and 1 Missile drone from each Broadside unit to get a ADL? It leaves me with 6 points, so that can be a Flamer on my Commander.

I'd have difficulty cracking that list, I think. That's a lot of EWO Broadsides... should be good!

Much better dude, go have fun!

Well, I'd mount the Farseer on a jetbike for increased mobility and give him guide, prescience, and psychic shriek. The first two powers are to be cast in the movement phase and if everything goes well, psychic shriek can be cast in the shooting phase. The latter power is quite useful this damned last man standing model or an MC.
