This army comes in at 1224 points.

I have money to add one of the following -

Terminator Assault Squad
Land Speeder
Scout Squad with bolters
or a Devestator Squad.

I also have a drop pod I can give to one team.

Any recommendations for changes to what I have, what else to buy and what squad to drop pod would be really appreciated!

From what you listed and the mention of Imperial fists tatics I would say the Devs would be the best addition but there are better options than that for your next purchase. I would also not kit out the razorback so much it seems as if you are just trying to get to a certain point level and just adding things to get there. How many points is the match that you are going to play in?

What is your goal with this army? Tournaments? Fluff/Modelling? Friendly games with friends?

I am mostly going to be battling my brothers 1300 point Tau force which has -

Comander in a crisis
2 x crisis bodyguards

2 x 12 man fire warrior teams

3 x pirahnas

Stealth team

1 x broadside

Various drones

I was thinking a Dev squad with 2 lascannons, a missile launcher and a Multimelta to work on his vehicles and suits.

Also I made a mistake on my list, thats a 10 man team so will be riding a Rhino with a pintle mounted storm bolter.

There is a local wargames night that seems to mostly have Chaos and Eldar armies that I might go along to with a 1500 point cap.

The MM is not a good mix with the other weapons in the dev. The best thing to do is run everyone in the unit with the same weapon. Usually all LC or all ML. Unfortunately the kit doesn't come with enough weapons to do this so you could run a mix of ML and LC or proxy if that is ok with you opponent. Just try to keep everyones weapon range and purpose the same. You could also use the othet heavy options lile the MM in the kit to use in your Tac squads and use the ML from the Tac squad in the devs. Also look for bits on the web to fill in the gaps.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Looking at your list I would put 1tac squad in a pod armed with MG MM and combimelta and switch the flamer in the other squad to a PG with a combiplas on the sgt.

This is my ammended list.

Total 1499 points (forgot I had an assault squad last time!). Ideal for the local night and against my brother I will drop the Assault Squad or Scouts to Balance the points. He is getting another Firewarrior team soon anyway.
