and if i would like to expand what do you think i need to buy?

Plug it into battlescribe, you don't need a codex to use that. And competitive tau uses a lot of drones these days to get cheap wounds, it looks like you don't have many of those, so I would look into getting some.

You've got about 1250 pts, with adding in wargear you could get up to 1400 possibly.
You need at least 1 more crisis suit, dig through your stuff find as many drones as you can, you need all of them. If you want a competitive list you'll be interested in focusing on battlesuits. (crisis, broadside, commander, and of course Riptides... the overall best one)

What aspect of the Tau do you most like? Lean into that.
Awesome anime mech suits? Hovertanks with crazy powerful guns and utility wargear? Having the best basic guns around with the utility of markerlights? The collection of various species under the banner of the Greater Good to fill the army's weaknesses?

Figure out what you like, and then the other stuff in the army can patch the holes to make it a functional army.

when i started the army i liked the suits and the infantrie,
i would play one hq + 2body gaurds and a lone hq
then infantrie and stealth suits and hammerhead an suit whit railcannons for at.an some kroot to block closecombat

normaly i would have codex, never used battlescibe but now i have to many armys and dont have the time to play them all
and whit all those new books its very expensief to buy all the books, from the codex im still missing tau and dark eldar
