Thanks.

Since you have the Elite slot open, demote the 'vres. Having them be bodyguard only costs you points for no gain.

FB suits are a bad idea. They bust a tank and then get assaulted. I suggest you consider other load-outs, FK, FS, or Deathrains.

Again, too close to getting assaulted. Try BC/MP FireStorms instead for reasonable anti-I.

Without D'Fish, you really ought to trim them down. I'd go minimums for easiest hiding in LoS-blocking terrain.

With points saved on the FWs, upgrade to a rail head.

MTs are one of the poorer choices. A.s.s. or TA are better. Add a BK.

If you're going to invest all that, add a BK, but I would just run 8 PFs, no frills.

Add a TA to make those shots count.

Lately, there is a tau guy who shows to my FLGS monthly RTT. And yea, never more than one.

A kroot speed bump is affordable with the points you'll save with my suggestions.
