Running this list tonight because I cannot be f**k*d to pack 200 models up in cases for my standard Daemon horde list and don't want to bring out the flying daemon princes this week. Thought this would be fun to try, didn't have the points to include Fateweaver unfortunately but hey it's only fun and I have no idea what army I'll be facing either.

I prefer to play my models as generally what you see is what you get so won't be changing the load outs for tonight but may change some of the support systems etc. Troops wise I know its low but I have the portalglyph. Obviously the fire warriors are pure throw away and everything but 1 unit of horrors and farsight squad starts on the board. Could be wiped out by turn 2 we'll see.

if your running as an Enclave it is illegal(requires a 3 man team of XV8 suits and everything needs to be bonded). if your running it as normal tau then it is fine. i'm going to assume based off the Systems your running it as normal tau.

can't say much about the deamons but that is ALOT of firepower from the Bomb. might work.

Looks like a fun list. Let us know how it goes!

Not sure if you'd want to swap out a unit of horrors for some plague bearers to give you something a little more tanky for objective camping?

Yeah I'm waiting on some slotta bases to come through the post as I have about 12 metal Plague Bearers so that may be a future consideration if I ever run something like this again though the horrors can get stuck in cover and go to ground and get to re-roll 1's so not too bad at sticking around.

Yep it's the standard Tau codex that this list is coming from and really just a little bit of fun as I'm going to box the Tau stuff I have up until next year and concentrate on finishing building and painting all the daemon stuff I have laying around the place.

Stick with the horrors as troops. I am switching my plaguebearers out for horrors as I keep wanting/needing my troops to contribute and the plaguebears not even being able to run can be a huge liability at times.
