I was looking at the new costs for Tau in the CA 2018 and I had this idea, what can I do with mechanized Tau?

Will it hold up in tournaments?

Its all T'au Sept, 13 drops. If I put as many infantry in vehicle as possible.
Conceptually, I figure the breachers might function as a distraction carnifex if I have them in a devilfish with a dark strider. Or longstrike gets targeted (oh well, list doesn't fall part without him)


Basic goal, at 24" range there's enough firepower to blow two 4+ knights off the table on the first turn, or 6 Leman Russes (though I do not have enough marker lights for more than 3)

This is the concept at the moment. Thoughts?
