My roommate, who is pretty much the only person I play with, plays tau and seems to have completely given up on infantry and so focuses on a mixture of lists mainly constituting vehicles, broadsides, crisis suits, and sometimes a bomber or riptide. This completely destroys me because I use Emperor's children and may just have a predator and Heldrake/forgefiend paired with them. So I made some lists and was wondering which would be the best against him (and/or any changes that could be made)
