Hey guys, getting ready for Alamo in May. Here's the list I'm thinking about bringing:

Primary (Tau):

HQ:
Commander (Iridium, Onager, MSSS, CnCN, PEN, VRT, Neuroweb) – 172
Ethereal – 50

Elites:
Riptide (HBC, Fusion, EWO, Velocity Tracker) – 205
Riptide (Ion, Fusion, EWO) – 190
Riptide (Ion, Fusion, EWO) – 190

Troops:
Kroot (15 man, 1 hound) – 95
Kroot (15 man, 1 hound) - 95

Heavy Support:
Sky Ray (Blacksun Filter, SMS) – 116
Broadsides (3 man, HYMP, SMS, x3 Target Lock, x6 Marker Drones) – 282

Space Wolves:

HQ:
Rune Priest (Jaws of the World Wolf, Living Lightning) – 100
Rune Priest (Jaws of the World Wolf, Murderous Hurricane) – 100

Troops:
Grey Hunters (5 man, Drop Pod) – 110
Grey Hunters (5 man, Drop Pod) - 110

Inquisition Detachment:

Ordos Xenos Inquisitor (x3 Servo Skulls) – 34

---------------------------------

Tactics are fairly straightforward. I'll usually outflank the Kroot, and the SW are there to take down problems like Heralds w/ Grimiore or Forewarning and Riptides, Servo Skulls take care of Khorne Dogs and the like.

Any help/advice would be great!

Still looking for advice!

Really don't like screamer stars huh? Ha jokes aside, it looks solid. It's minor but I think SMS on the bursttide might be better since it jives with his gun and more SMS is never a bad thing. I can see why you'd wanna keep the fusion though. I guess ethereal is there for fearless? Just seems like him and whatever unit he's with are going to have a huge target on their heads in any kp mission (he's chilling with the broadsides, yes?). Somewhat unorthodox but I could see it working. Are you stuck with psychic powers for the tourney or can you switch out between games? I just see some games where the RPs and GHs are going to be more of a liability than anything. Eldar and Marines come to mind.

Thanks! We get to use the change the powers every game if we like. I like the Ethereal, but I'm not sure he's worth, especially with so little Kroot. I'm not sure what to use the 50 points for, though.
