The local shop closed at the first of this month and they sold their on hand stock off at 50% on the day of the last tournament. As a door prize I won a tau broadside, as that was my first tau unit that I have owned I went ahead and bought out the other tau kits they had.

So, I want to build a basic 1500 all comers casual list with these models as a base.

They are all unbuilt and I have some fresh magnets on order to magnetize them for all weapon/support upgrades I can.

10x Fire Warrior

Riptide Battlesuit
Ghostkeel Battlesuit

10x Pathfinder
Broadside Battlesuit

Need some help picking out an HQ to use. And for other units, I kind of prefer it to be suits and drones over troops.

Thinking Commander of course but I really like the idea of the Droneport with a Cadre Fireblade as a mobile markerlight platform.

suits and drones are definitely the way to go. cold star commander gives massive utility or go 4x fusion commander to get rid of pesky armor turn one. as for ghostkeel make sure you keep him with longer ranged weapons and not flamers. (that way you can try to keep him 12 out for -2 to hit) riptide/broadside I wouldn't use but for a casual list throw them in. run the pathfinders in 2 squads of five for better marker light coverage. and id say try to get 5 more fire warriors and run min squads so you can have a battalion attachment for 3 CP. I can't stress enough the more commanders the better. I run 5 in my not tournament list and 7 commanders in my tournament list. (but thats just cause I already have 7) 3 would be cool for a casual list IMHO

Thanks for the info, and yeah, at half off I went ahead and bought the riptide (broadside was a freebie door prize) because they had it, and I really never looked at Tau before, but in-case they do get better in the future codex, I at least have one of each.

Looks like another box of Fire warriors and start with the "Coalition Command" for an ethereal and a commander should be a next step.

And maybe a Rapid Insertion Force for more suits.
