Hello, I have just moved to a new gaming community and it is a bit more casual than I am used to. I am not a good judge of casualness other than rules of thumb. Not looking for edits per say, just want a rating. Feel free to say "your lists suck!" as long as you support it. Same for any "great lists!" comments. Please give a 1-10 star rating for each of the following parameters:
Win Ratio (1 would be always losing and 10 always winning)
Competitive Level (different than Win Ratio in the sense you can have a strong list without it being "competitive." For example, a strong Tau list but not stupid with like 6 riptides. Mostly to your discretion, feel free to make it the same as Win Ratio)
Fun (how fun it is for both you and your opponent; can you keep a smile on your face even though you are being clobbered or vis versa?)
Creative (more of me wanting to see if I think divergent or convergent)
Shock Value (what would your reaction be to this list?)

There are two Tau Lists and one DA list. Again, don't go into a bunch of edits, but you may make one suggestion of how to make it more or less competitive.

List 1 - Flamers 1499 pts

Farsight Enclaves Combined Arms Detachment (all that can take BKR must thus I left it out on the list)
Commander Farsight
Commander (Iridium, CCN, MSSS, NSJ, DC, SG, SI, VRT)
Riptide (IA, TLPR)
Crisis Team (3 Shas'ui with dual PR with TL and 1 Shas'ui with dual FB with TL) + 6 Marker Drones
5x Crisis Team (1 Shas'ui with TLF and Flamer)
Aegis Defense Line (Comms Relay)

Tau Empire Optimized Stealth Cadre (no BKR)
Ghostkeel (IR, TLFB)
Stealth Team (bare except 1 Shas'vre with HB) + 2 Gun Drone
Stealth Team (bare except 1 Shas'vre with HB)

This list *normally* only deploys the two MC on the board with the wall for the comms relay. DS the rest, with Farsight in the Drone Stealth Team using his warlord trait to DS with precision and using the HB to bring the rest around without scatter. Second Stealth Team may also link up with Farsight for an expanded range or risk the scatter for another HB location. Rest should be self-explanatory.

List 2 - Dualwing 2000 pts
DA Ravenwing Strike Force
Librarian (Force Axe, Bike, Lv2, Melta Bomb)
RW Command Squad (Champion, Apothecary, RW banner, all plasma)
RW Bike Squad (4 Bikers 2 with MG, Attack Biker with MM)
2x RW Bike Squad (3 Bikers 2 with MG)
3x RW Bike Squad (3 Bikers 1 with GG)
2x RW Darkshroud
RW Landspeeder (TML, HB)

DA Deathwing Strike Force
Librarian (Terminator armor, Force Sword, Lv2, Foe Smitter)
Librarian (Terminator armor, Force Sword, Lv2)
DW Command Squad (Champion, Apothecary, DW banner+dual LC, Heavy Flamer)
DW Knights

Tired of typing, but should be self-explanatory.

List 3 - Tau 2000 pts
Farsight Enclaves Combined Arms Detachment (all that can take BKR must thus I left it out on the list)
Commander Farsight
Commander (Iridium, TLFB/Fusion blades, PENchip, SG, SI)
Riptide (IA, TLPR, EWO)

Crisis Team (1 Shas'vre with dual BC and DC and 1 Shas'ui with dual BC and VRT and 1 Shas'ui with dual BC)
3x Pathfinder Team (5 Pathfinders)
Hammerhead (IC, TLSMS, DP, BSF)
Aegis Defense Line (Comms Relay)

Tau Empire Optimized Stealth Cadre (no BKR)
Ghostkeel (IR, TLBC, VT, EWO)
