Took 4th place with a similar Tau list. Decided to add allies with some assault capabilities. Basic idea is to pound with heavy weapons, when they get close, let the daemons do their work. Farsight bomb for anything dug in that is giving me problems. Marker drones plus HQ commander for painting targets with some minor offensive capabilities. Tanks and Riptides with large blast weapons to handle hordes. Early Warning on riptides to handle deep strikers. Camp Broadsides in terrain for cover save. Thoughts?
