Hey guys and gals,

After returning to 40k after a haitus during 5th Edition, my first real 6th Edition game is going up against Tau. I know he has XV88 Broadsides and Fire Warriors, but that's about all I know.

My idea is to run Raven Guard, take Strike from the Shadows and move as close as possible to him. Hit him in one flank, or both, at the same time. ASM and Terminators will come in on either opposite sides or both sides to really deal as much damage as possible.The two Tac Squads are running Teleport Homers for my Terminators (since I'm not running Deathwing... I wish I had Belial lol). I don't like have to roll for reserves and having to suffer scatter.

What does everyone think of this list? I have about 110 pts to play with. And I do not want to add Shrike, unless I hear a compelling reason to.

Celestial Guard 3rd Company - 1390 pts out of 1500 pts.
