Just for fun I made a Farsight Enclave list and use all of the 8, and Shadowsun. And since I'm doing that I have to have at least one 3 man crisis suit squad as a troop. Here is my list, please not that I am keeping all of the characters in and the only thing that I really want commented on is the non-HQs. Also, if you have any suggestion about tactics and deployment of the 8 please tell me. I have never used the 7 guys from the supplement before.

HQ
Farsight 1494 points
O'Vesa
Bravestorm
Brightsword
Sha'vastos
Arra'kon
Ob'lotai
Torchstar

Shadowsun w/ Command Link Drone 155 Points

TROOPS
3 man Crisis team with 2 Missile Pods each, 2 with Target Lock 166 points
3 man Crisis Team w/ 2 Plasma Rifles, 2 with Target Lock, 1 Gun Drone 178 points

1993 points, 30 models, slim chance in hell beating a decent list...

Plan on having the broadside guy and riptide guy deploy on their own and have Shadowsun join the other HQs. Gonna use Farsight's Warlord trait and deepstrike where I can best utilize the unit. The missile pod crisis suits will start on the board and the Plasma crisis suits will deepstrike. Any suggestions? Other than that using all 9 of my HQs is stupid

You can't have Shadowsun in a FE list without allies.

Why not? I couldn't find a rule in there that says I can't. Can you tell me where it is?

I didn't think she was in the FE codex to begin with....

She's not, but it's not a codex. The only units in the supplement are the 8 characters, no crisis suits, FWs, or any other unit. Just the 8 characters. Then you create the rest of the army from Codex: Tau. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to field a legal army.

Here is what the supplement says:

"A Farsight Enclaves army is chosen using the army list presented in Codex: Tau Empire. It also has a series of supplemental rules (presented below) that can be used in addition to the material found in Codex: Tau Empire. Note that you can only use the options from one codex supplement when choosing your army."

Divergent Destinies. No Aun'Va or Shadowsun. You have to ally her in.

You are 100% correct, just found it in the supplement. Thank you.

Here is my new list, sans Shadowsun:

O'Vesa
Bravestorm
Brightsword
Sha'vastos
Arra'kon
Ob'lotai
Torchstar

TROOPS
3 man Crisis Team w/ 2 Missile Pods 156 points

1996 points, 28 models, slim chance in hell beating a decent list...

Read more of the supplement and learned I had to take a bonding knife with every unit. Also figured I didn't want to take more than the one Riptide and figured I'd try out stealth suits in 6th ed, so here it is:

HQ
Farsight 1494 points
O'Vesa
Bravestorm
Brightsword
Sha'vastos
Arra'kon
Ob'lotai
Torchstar

TROOPS
3 man Crisis Team w/ 2 Missile Pods, bonding knife 159 points
3 man Crisis Team w/ 2 Fusion Blasters, bonding knife 159 points

ELITE
6 man Stealth Team w/ bonding knife 186 Points
