Iron hands Chapter Tactics

HQ Tau Commander Drone controller, mss, ccnode, puretide, vectored, flamer, iridium, neuroweb 181
Heavy Broadsides x3 tlhymp, tlsms, ewo, 6x missile drone 282
Troops Kroot x16 snipers 105
Elite Riptide ion, tl fusion, ewo, skyfire 210
HQ Librarian Terminator armour, storm shield, power maul 100
Elite Terminators x5 4x th/ss 220
Troops Tactical x5 flamer 75
Troops Tactical x5 flamer 75
Heavy Dev Centsx3 Grav / amp 250

HQ setup can vary depending on opponent. The basic idea though is the have the Tau commander join the broasides, while the libby joins up with either the terminators or dev cents and take telekinesis.

Competitive or no? What do you like/dislike about the list?

No one gonna take a shot at it?

Lose the maul upgrade to shield eternal
And keep your sword or axe

I personally see no synergy with the IH and the tau.

Likes:

I dig the tuff scoring units. I appricate that something that you don't see often with the tau. I see where you were going with this I hope they peove their worth to you.

I like the riptide(im a fan) I would like to see two but that would mean dropping the centurions and I would have to see them played before I agree with you decision.

I like the commander with the broadsides(ignor cover, twin linked, puretide should buff them nicely) that should be really effective against majority xenos armys and allies.


Dislikes:

The libby. Is he really nessasary. I dont see how a lev 1 libby is a better choice then a CM with burning sword and storm shield and have hime run a with the termies.

The two tact marines are to many points i drop one. Its just to easy to get around 3+ armor goes down to easy. IMHO kroot do the job you need more bodys for less points. Use cover haha.

ive already said my two cents about the centurions. Only time will tell weather they are worth their weight in gold becaus3 the riptides always prove their worth for mw every game. I own two. :-)

Sweet list tho I with I xould play againat it with my daemon flying circus. I know it would be a brutal and fun game.

^Dem grammer errors.

But in all seriousness OP, I wonder why specifically the iron hands CT is the one you chose. It doesn't give much to your footsloggers and IWND on a 2 wound HQ? Meh. But nvm me, I only really have criticisms today. Sounds like a list with a ton of fun factor though.
