Hi folks, I am a new player and new to DakkaDakka. I have decided to play Tau because robots. Please lend me your thoughts on my 500 point army list:

HQ - 50 points
1 x Ethereal

Troops - 153 points
8 x Fire Warrior Team with Pulse Rifles
9 x Fire Warrior Team with Pulse Rifles

Fast Attack - 44 points
4 x Pathfinder Team

Heavy Support - 65 points
XV88 Broadside with TL Rail and SMS

Elites - 185 points
XV104 Riptide with Ion Accelerator and TL Fusion

Total - 497 points

Thoughts, criticism, and tactical advice always welcome.

Solid list. To spend your last points, take an advanced targeting system on either your riptide or broadside-whichever you think will shoot multi model units more. Probably won't change a game, but sniping a special weapon out here and there could matter.

Thanks! I will stick the Advanced Targeting on the Broadside since it could use a boost.

very solid list, i have nightmares of facing a list like this.
