Im sure im not the first person to think of this but an idea just dawned on me.

Take a defense line, lay it out in a straight line and place 4-8 tau sentry turrets along the length on the outside. You can mix and match weapons on the turrets. I was thinking the stronger close range weapons on the ends incase some one tries to flank around and next the long range weapons then the weapons that fire multiple shots close to the center like your burst cannons or missile pods.
The turrets can also take a D pod giving them some survivability. And you can line up a squad of fire warriors on the inside to add more shots coming from your wall, set two hammerheads with rail guns behind the fire warriors to drop anything big and threatening.
Have two squads. Of two tetras run around and markerlight things for your turrets and hammerheads. Have two more squads of fire warriors in devilfish on standby so they can sweep in and grab objectives and the whole time have your mech suits jumping around shootingstuff too.

To do all of it the way i see it you would have to be playing a pretty high point game. And i think it would work best with a hammer and anvil deployment. But imsure you could make it work other ways, nt sure if anyone has tried this but its just a thought lemme know whatyouthink.
