Got a 2000pt apocalypse game coming up with the following rules:
500pts must be troop choices. 1500pts can be whatever you want, but no more than 600pts of flyers.
This is a 6v6 game, so I want to be able to make an impact; I want them to remember "that darn tau player" on the other team that surprised them.

Heres my idea:

2x tau R'varna battlesuits with Piloting array and stimulant injector

1x Hammerhead interdiction cadre (d3 automatic markerlight hits) with longstrike and point defence

1x etherial
2x cadre fireblades
2x fire warrior teams with makerlights and marker drones
1x3XV8 crisis team with missiles and plasmas.

suits go in and mess with people, while the fire warriors+fireblades+etherial give me 4 shots per FW in rapid fire range. Great for holding an objective. Hammerheads are to hopefully draw fire and maybe kill a tank or two.
