The kroot would act as a deterent or an effective counter attack if combat was joined, they wouldnt have to go anywhere during the game if you didn't want them to ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/285661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/285661.page GMT
As for Tau sucking in close combat, while this is pretty much true I have had Aun' Shi and a unit of firewarriors knock out a bloodthirster. (though admittedly it had been hit twice by rail suits.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/286095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/286095.page GMT
As a none tau player the amount of fire power does worry me abit, but then thats what Tau armies excell at!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/286493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/286493.page GMT

For starters take the kroot they are necessary... they can absorb/delay any assault directed at your immobile firebase...

I would suggest you change your current commander'o (2 weapons of your choice, VRT, and STIM) and use that to go into combat with a big fast moving enemy assault unit and assault them, at the end of your turn, endure in thier turn then jump out and have your whole army attack the target squad...

I would also drop the ionhead (you already have enough anti-MEQ) and instead take a 4-man stealth team... this will help you against masses of enemy troops and they give you a little more jump-shoot-jumpiness...

IMHO, these ideas will really turn your list into a much better list with more verisitility...

EDIT- Also i think that only 2 shield drones is better because once you lose the shield drones the broadsides start taking morale checks... losing the 140 pt broadsides but only really losing the 60 point drones does not sound like a good thing to me...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289036.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289061.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289061.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211243/289416.page GMT IMHO these would be good additions...

More broadsides... they make up for the lack of hammerheads... maybe one or two crisises using them to help the commander...

I'd also suggest also having sniper drone teams (3) and bulinkg out 4 firewarrior teams and taking 2 kroot squads...

From what i've seen shadowsun is always a good addition to a static army...

I'd also suggest giving your broadsides ASS or TL at 1500...

@gorjira316-No he doesn't need the rail head just for submunissions its way too expensive for just that purpose... and he doesn't need hammerheads at all IMHO 'cause i think he shoul use that freed up slot to take sniper drone teams and more broadsides...
