One of the most troublesome armies for me to face is Tau. I'm still struggling against.
Before my next local tournament I'd like to practise a little bit. I know their mechanics but what I lack is experience.

I would be very glad if someone posted a typical, but strong, 1200 Tau list. The more it is the better.

Commander w/ Penchip, CCN, MSSS, Repulsor Field, Ongar Gauntlet

3 Crisis w/ 6 Missile Pods, 1 VRT, 2 shield drones

20 Sniper Kroots

20 Sniper Kroots

Riptide w/ EWO, VT

Riptide w/ EWO, IA

Riptide w/ EWO, IA

This is the list I would run in that level. Lots of riptide is what I love to do and the amount of kroots kind of add the numbers to the army so I can kind of snatch objectives by outflanking and just camping. Commander goes with either the burst cannon riptide or the missile squad to bring down whatever I need to kill.
