First list with Deathwatch so here goes, it's an Alpha strike type of list

Strategium Command Team
Watch Captain Artemis

Aquilla Kill Team
Librarian in Terminator Armor, Mastery LVL 2, Power Axe, Storm Bolter
4 x DW Frag Cannon
1 x Vet Storm Shield/Boltgun
1 x Shotgun/Boltgun
Drop Pod

Furor Kill Team
Librarian, Mastery LVL 2, Power Sword, Dominus Aegis, Auspex
1 X Terminator with Cyclone Launcher, Power Fist, Storm Bolter
1 X Vet with Infernus Bolter/Hellfire Rounds
4 X Vet with Stalker/Boltgun
Drop Pod

Ultramarine Skyhammer Annihilation Force
Assault Squad 9 guys with two flamers + Sgt with Lightning Claw and Melta Bombs
Assault Squad 9 guys with two flamers + Sgt with Lightning Claw and Melta Bombs
Devastator Squad (4 Grav-Cannon/Amps) w Drop Pod
Devastator Squad (4 Multi-Meltas) w Drop Pod

Officio Assassinorum Detachment
1 X Culexus Assassin

Plan is for Strategium team to pull the Frag Cannon nut punch.
Skyhammer Dev will help with the big pieces.
Skyhammer Assault squad will Combat squad upon landing and can charge up to 4 troops. Or anything that spilled out of transports that got opened during the shooting phase.

Furor Kill Team will serve for objective keeping and backfield support. Upon landing the team can fire their Boltguns, once they are immobile they will profit from the librarian's dominus aegis and will be able to cover even more with their Stalker Bolters. Infernus is inferior to Frag I know but at long range it is preferable.

Thoughts?

What's your plan against mass Early Warning Override Tau list? Or null deployment lists? Don't get me wrong, I think it packs a solid punch as an alpha strike. I'm just wondering what's plan B when alpha striking is not an option?
