Our playgroup is having a sort of throwback game where we banned Formations (and Formations within Formations) entirely and everyone had to use either the CAD or more traditional detachments like the Grey Knights Nemesis Strike Force. As I started playing Farsight Enclaves only after the Mont'ka book dropped with the Dawnblade detachment, I'm kinda in an awkward spot since most of my Enclaves lists were built around the Dawnblade Decurion but I don't want to go back to playing traditonal Tau (once you go Red you never go back ). Nevertheless, I came up with the following with a few forge-world entires from my collection to take advantage of the CAD allowing them to be taken. Note that bond-knife tax is not reflected since everybody who can take them must take them.

Not sure if I'm over-spending on the Buffmander, it's probably a bad habit carried over from the days of Farsight-Bombing. Forge-World stuff could be replaced with another Riptide and some Pathfinders but I'll have to get another Riptide model . Also, not sure if the drone makeup of my Crisis teams are good, since I'm too used to the Drone Net Auxillary formation and haven't really put them back into Crisis Teams much nowadays. Any criticism and advice are really welcome.
