What does the standard Tau-Eldar army look like?

Competitive Taudar looks something like this:




2-3 riptides
Buffmander
Jetseer council
Wraithknight
+other stuff to fill out the list (broadsides are a good choice)

What about for troops?

Also, what does buff commander mean?

A couple squads of firewarriors or kroot, and probably jetbike guardians for eldar (or maybe guardians in a wave serpent).

It's a crisis suit commander with a whole bunch of signature systems that buff the unit that he is attached to. Since he's jetpack infantry, he can jump around and join units as needed to give them buffs (tankhunter, monster hunter, ignores cover, re-roll to hit).

I forgot to mention: you also want a source of markerlights (pathfinders are probably the cheapest).
