Hey gurus:
I've been playing the bullyboyz.... man they are F-U-N!

Anyway I bought some Tau a LOOOONG time ago and have just about got them done and was gonna sell them until I realized that I could take that FbSC formation with my Bullies or... gasp The Tide. So I am curious how you guys outfit your FbSC?

Imagine ITC meta (knights and elves and bikers and cents and crons). My goal would be a 50% win rate (3 of 6).

On the Firebase Support Cadre How would you outfit them to accompany the Orks? I'm fully magnetized so all options are on the table.

Riptide with Ion and SMS and ???
3x Missle-sides with ???
3x Rail-sides with ???
Should I take Marker Drones or Shielded Missile Drones at all?


So two lists in broad strokes:

Bully Tau:
Firebase Support Cadre
BullyBoyz (each squad has: 4x Kombi Scorchas 1x Kill Saw) in Trukk with Rokkit and Ram
CAD Orks: Mek on a Bike with KFF for slingshot shenanigans. 2x Grots, Some Rokkit Koptas

Tau Tide
Firebase Support Cadre
Green Tide (Prob 5 PKs + PK Boss with Big Boss Pole)
CAD Orks: Painboy and 2xGrots

Thanks for any help you care to throw my way and vote!!!!
