Since his army is VERY heeavily melee-based (everything except his vindicator), I was going to have fire warriors set up shop inside some building/behind cover, with the Cadre Fireblade attached to the 12 man fire warrior squad for the extra shot, and have my Ethereal be independent and have him use storm of fire ability to give all fire warriors within 12" an extra shot, so that once he's in Rapid Fire range, it'll be 78 Str5 Ap5 shots spread across three different units. Then, (depending on the terrain) I'll have the Crisis Suits either deep strike in to get the vindicator, or, have them rush up the table.

So yeh, please leave your thoughts below, thanks in advance for any advice given.

Just laughing at the concept of Tau having to *try* to beat CSMs... Just remember it's meant to be a fun game for him too, and try not to gloat too hard when you table him...
