Thought I´d put together a 2k list with the new points. I feel we weren´t affected super hard considering basically everything is increasing. Shield drones at 15 points is a bit hard to swallow, but understandable.

I dropped 2 commanders from my 8th ed list to save 2 cp and put them into devilfishes, not sure how its gonna turn out, might be better dropping a breacher squad and the two devilfish for a riptide. i´love to hear your opinions.

tau 2k CA2020
2x commander coldstar - 3 MP, ATS - 320
2x commander enforcer - 3 CiB, ATS - 298
4x5 breachers - 3 guardian and 3 shield - 255
2x10 breachers - 2 guardian and 2 shield - 230
2x devilfish - 2 gun drones, burst - 206
9 xv8 - 8x2 afp and ATS, last one with iridium, afp and shileld generator - 389
20 shield drones - 300 (The enforcers and coldstars get 2 each and put the rest into 3 squads of 4.)

You´re welcome to double check my points.

Why all the AFP on the 9 x XV8? Its likely the new meta is going to be vehicle heavy, at least initially. Also if you shrink that down to a unit of 5 total suits, your output is still about the same using all CIB and you won't invoke the blast rule. (not that I'm excited about using so few crisis suits).

I think your squad comes in at 466, (30+8+8+5)x8 =51x8 and 30 +8+10+10 = 58. Please double check my math though.
