Got a game at 1250 against a tau army on Thursday, my largest game yet.

Not really sure what the other player will be bringing other than a high chance of a Riptide.

My army list is as follows -

Imperial Fists Tactics

Captain, Storm Bolter and Powerfist

Terminators x 5, Assault Cannon, 2 x Chainfists

Tactical x 10, Multi Melta, Melta, Combi Melta Sgt, Rhino

Tactical x 10, Plas Cannon, Plas Gun, Combi Plas sgt

Tactical x 5, Heavy Bolter

Scouts x 5, shotguns, combi melta sgt, LS Storm

Scouts x 5, bolters, combi flamer sgt, heavy bolter

Bike squad x 3, 2 x grav guns, grav pistol

Devastators x 5, 3 x ML, 1 x LC

I have left on my desk -

Captain/Chapter master with combi plasma and Chainsword
Scouts x 5, knives, sgt with Power fist
Dreadnaught, Multi Melta
Command Squad, Apoth, Standard, Company Champion, 2 x vets, one with grav pistol and chainsword and one with a Flamer
Terminator Assault Squad - 2 x claws, 3 x hammers and shields.
Turret to make Rhino into a TL LC Razorback

Any swaps or changes anyone would make?

Ideally I would have some sternguards and a predator in there but as I don't have the mini's I cant!

No need for chainfists on your terminators. Tau armor is all Av10 in the rear, so a power fist is more than sufficient to break rear armor.

If you plan on outflanking the scouts, watch out for interceptor shooting, particularly from the riptide.
