I've had good results in the past with deepstriking crisis suits (commanders and regular elites), and was curious how players think the new codex will affect deepstriking for the Tau.
Normally, I deepstrike my suits when appropriate targets are otherwise lacking (my TL plasma/fusion commander against a shooty IG army), or there is a major threat to reach (basilisk). This can be fairly risky, but on the whole it's been fairly successful, allowing my suits to kill tanks and things from the rear while my hammerheads can focus on systematically blasting static infantry elements.
The new pathfinder devilfish allows all deepstrike scatter rolls to be rerolled if in LOS. Coupled with cheaper (much cheaper, possibly) crisis suits, I'm wondering if a force centered around a large number of crisis suits is feasible? With some of the new wargear (stim injectors, useful shield drones, some new weapons), it might work.
My gut says it's still too costly, and suits won't put out enough fire in one turn to protect themselves against assaults, but I'm curious if anyone else has considered this approach, or had experience trying it out.
