Hello and good evening everyone,

Looking to get some feedback on the following Tau list, aiming to be quite competitive and be able to hold my own. I feel it covers most areas, lots of screen/shooting, a number of well protected threats, double kayon etc.

Seems to be in line with the new hotness. I assume all tau sept? I would drop the velocity trackers for target lock on the riptides and maybe one ethereal instead of three cadres to cast sense of stone first two turns you Kauyon and then can allow reroll a of 1 there after

For someone that havent played the last 6 months. Why Enforcers instead of Coldstar? Is it a costeffective choice or have Enforcers just become better?

I've done double quad fusion coldstars. They are great and threaten tanks quite well. However, CIB commanders are the best and most cost effective. Best leave the objective capping to units like fire warriors and stealth suits.

I don't even take enforcers, but the barebones commander with 4 CIBs. That way, they last much longer too and don't have to spend a valuable spot on a shield generator.
