There's a comp coming a month down the track and im trialing this list atm.
sadly i have no more bikes and no stormtalons to make use of so i've decided to go for the big risk and take no anti air.
i know it's risky but seriously what no comp elder or tau list will have flyers? (80% of my meta is those 2 armies)

Anyway this is my list:

Primary Detachment:


Khan : 150p

10x Tactical Marines + Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter, Combi-Flamer, Rhino + Hunter Killer Missile

10x Tactical Marines + Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter, Combi-Flamer, Rhino + Hunter Killer Missile

10x Tactical Marines + Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter, Combi-Flamer, Rhino + Hunter Killer Missile

5x Bikes + 2x Grav-gun, Combi-grav, Melta-bomb

5x Bikes + 2x Grav-gun, Combi-grav, Melta-bomb


2x Attack Bikes + Multi-Melta's

2x Attack Bikes + Multi-Melta's

3x Land Speeders each with 2 Heavy Bolters

Allied Detachment:

Rune Priest + The Chooser, Runic Armour, Bike, force Axe

10x Grey Hunters + 2x Melta-guns, Drop pod (StormBolter)

Rune priest goes for Jaws and Living lightening if they have MC's combine concussive from grav weapons + Jaws to give the MC a 1/3 rd chance to pass and 2/3 to die assuming he fails the 1 in 6 deny.
if the army i'm vsing makes jaws useless ill probably roll div. the main purpose of this army is to try and ruin tau by using scout and then the fast moving to pop tanks 1st turn and then hit as much of the infantry as i can with bolter and heavybolter fire.

so what are your thoughts? Originally i was looking at a double or even triple Thunderfire back up on for the Whitescars.
