Well I find that so ridiculous that you can ally with the regular Tau codex :p
Noone would want to play against you probably but still would be funny to field so many riptides haha
Also it would be expensive to field $400 worth of models in 4 models haha

It's actually not that competitive. Their damage output without marker light support is average and your survivability is similar to that of a Deathwing army...not too many of those in competitive play.
Fun tho; and rule #1 as all get out.

Rule #1 is Look Cool. |

No you cannot. Farsight Enclave is still a Tau army, and doesn't use a separate Codex, only an additional set of rules. Same goes for Eldar and Iyanden.

The supplement provides explicit permission to ally with Codex: Tau.

You can put a S8 AP2 pie plate anywhere on the board regardless of LOS restrictions just by jumping onto a building if their massive height doesn't let you already, and then jump down in the assault phase for a cover save on top of their already ridiculous stat line.
They're an effective source of firepower.
5 Riptides would be considerably harder to kill than an entire Deathwing army. Probably just as many wounds and they're all T6 with possible FNP too.

Yes, it seems stupid beyond all belief that the Farsight Enclave can ally with normal Tau (fluff breaking in every way) but Iyanden can't ally with another craftworld.
GW just gets more stupid with every release.
