Blood angels, chaos marines (Khorne bias) and the only time I almost always nail him is my iyanden serpent list. He's not a great tau player. He's ok, it's just tau are so strong he finds it easy against my combat armies. Especially a round of shooting followed by a round of combat and my low model counts.
Now I only got the daemon codex this week. And I'm in love. Especially the flying circus build and potential. But as he's my best mate, I want to defile him with a dex that he's never come across before!
This is his normal kind of build (very roughly off the top of my head):
Farsight enclaves list,
Farsight,
O'vesa
4 x 3 crisis suits of varying builds
Another riptide or 2 depending on how he feels
2 or 4 broadsides depending on how he feels (almost always 2 missile sides)
2 x 4 pathfinders
10 Kroot
Sometimes a hammer head
Sometimes a sun shark
He normally has the interceptor/sky fire thing on the tides and/or broadsides, he also normally deep strikes farsight with a fusion blaster squad, and another squad of some sort. His list varies a lot, but it normally involves most of that.
Focus on the path finders unfortunately there is nothing you can do about the sky firing riptides. That is where Be'lakor and hallucination comes in. Odds are good he has the talisman on the other Riptide so it might be hard to get powers to go off against them.
