This weekend I am going to purchase the Tau Battleforce, a box of Fire Warriors and a Cadre Fireblade. I have come up with the following army list for 750 point battles against my friend who, like me, hasn't played for several years. I am just wondering what you think and what I am lacking/What is unneeded?

Is it a good idea to purchase another box of Fire warriors and Cadre Fireblade or should I buy something else instead? The Armylist is as follows:

3x XV8 Crisis Suits 208pts
• 1x Shas'vre
• Weapons: TL Fusion Blaster, Plasma Rifle
• Support: Multi Tracker
• 2x Marker drones
• Bonding Knife

3x XV25 Stealth Suit 108pts
• 1x Shas'vre
• Weapons: Burst Cannon
• Markerlight & Target Lock (Shas'vre)
• Bonding Knife

11x Fire Warriors 195pts -
• 1x Cadre Fireblade (HQ)
• Weapons: Pulse Rifle
• 2x Marker Drones
• Bonding Knife

12x Fire Warriors 154pts
• 1x Shas'ui
• Weapons: Pulse Rifle
• 2x Marker Drones
• Bonding Knife

1x Piranha with Burst Cannon 66pts
• Weapons: Fusion Blaster
• Battle System: Disruption Pod
• 2x Seeker Missiles
Total: 746 pts

What do you think?

Looks okay I would drop the marker drones in the squads because they are only bs2

Drop the bonding knifes on everything and take a squad of pathfinders for marker support instead
