PtA
crowe works as a distraction, heading single-handedly to wherever they lack units, causing them to WTF(my FLGS players NEVER check other codex's and so have no clue how terrible Crowe is, and so will think he is a one man army of sorts) and over-compensate. Paladins in Stormraven will go character hunting, and blow up a few things on the way. After the paladins get dropped off,storm raven will pop heavy armor and elite inf. Draigo will grand strategy in my Purifiers who aren't in the rhino with scout and they can take out long range fire support. Other purifier unit will move down center-field and take out inf. dread knights deal with hordes(off topic side note: inf horde crons are surprisingly powerful) and mop up in late game.

I have no experience with anything other than purge the alien so help with tactics in other game modes is useful. thank you for input.

Hi,

I think you have a few issues there :
- For the Dreadknights, dont take the hammer, it is totally pointless, if you want to take a weapon take the sword or nothing, you already have S10 force weapons...
- For the stormraven, take assaultcanon and multimelta, the plasma canon cant shoot at flyers so you will loose some of your fire potential when firing at them (which the stormraven is your only unit capable of...)
- For the purifiers, dont put the hammers on the justicars, due to challenges, put it on a normal guy.
I would also try to get a second rhino for the purifiers so you can scout both, disembark first turn while being quite advanced if that is the way you want to go.
- for the paladins, the only issue i find is you lack psycanons, paladins are quite good in CC, but great due to their psycanon with relentless mainly, you could also make it a ten man unit and split it up with combat squad if needed only (so one less VP if the scenario is annihilation)

Ok, so after another look, I came up with this. Tau cover the lack of long range fire power.
