So with the greater good now out I thought I'd try something different with Tau and see how many missiles I could fit in using the new custom sept rules. Probably not the most competitive list but it has a nasty alpha strike and some serious long range firepower. Thoughts?

Hey, i'm not sure about battlescribe, but I think that broadside teams can only have one support system. But the list otherwise looks decent, that's alot of firepower.
