Wanted a tau army for a while but starting small with something that I can just use with my ork army every now and then or in small games.
Using optimised stealth cadre and the drone formation...

Drones will be probably all gun drones maybe with 4 marker drones.

Not sure what upgrades and stuff would be good... I like the look of the counter fire defence systems bug I've seen lots of people taking early warning over ride

Anyone?

someone tell me if this is stupid or not and what i should spend the last 16pts on

I would just take Fusion and target lock on the Stealth suits. Then I'd add VT and EWO on the Ghostkeel. I'd probably double on Marker drones for saturation.
