Working on expanding my tau to a 2000pt list has the obvious allies, I'm wondering if its competitive?


- commander twin fusion, cfd, vectored thrusters, fusion blades
- Commander, missile, target lock, drone controller, 2x marker drone.

- Allied commander pure tide, ccn,msss, onager.

- 3 crisis, bonded, 2x plasma each
- 3 crisis, bonded, 2 fusion each, cfd
- 3 crisis, bonded, 1 w/ airburster, burst, dc, 2 w/ 2x burst all w/2 gun drones
- 3 crisis, bonded. 1 w/ missile, dc, 2 w/ 2x missile, tl. All w/ 2 marker drones.

- Allied 10 fire warriors, team lead w/ target and marker.

- Riptide hbc, SMS, ecpa
- riptide, ion, SMS

- 6 marker drones

- 3 broadsides, hymp, SMS
= 2000

The allied buffmander goes with either riptide as needed. The marko commander joins the drone unit, and the fusion blade commander goes with the fusion crisis team. FW unit sits at home base or anchors deployment zone. Not any real sky fire, or interceptor, I chose to go more guns.... Well this list do well? Is it competitive? Cheesy?

Thanks.

Edit: I am pretty much anti ally. However given the right background or reasons, I can tolerate them. My. Allies I will be doing up as a reserve they are part of the enclave, but newly recruited and yet to fully integrate into the enclave war machine. The allied commander is there as sort of a "battlefield drill srg" Perhaps thin excuse.... But it's. how I'm painting and converting the army.

The IA tide needs EWO.

You need some target locks in the fusion crisis unit, or better yet, just run them as solo suits.

The fusion commander is superfluous. Points can be better spent elsewhere; perhaps Kroot to up your scoring. Speaking of which, Kroot > Firewarriors.

Throw the Talisman of Moloch on one of the Riptides; the psychic D is imperative.
