My friends allow Forge World stuff as long as it can deep strike or is non-stationary.

this is a kinda anti-meq with a little anti armor (I mostly play against CSM, SM, daemons, and necrons)

Spoiler:

This is a more Well-Rounded list (I think)

Spoiler:

I only own a single XV8 and 4 fire warriors right now but I can get anything up to about 250-300$ if need-be.
I hope that these lists aren't total crap, but have at it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5279833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5279833.page GMT Re:750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested
750 point list:
HQ - seems pretty strong, but why the AFP? I think that it would be better paired with the PR, especially since he has the improved BS.
FW - seem strong, might have to drop a couple though for points (see bellow)
Suits - don't need the BC. The FW give plenty of S5 AP5 shots and giving more to the suits is just a waste. I would TL the PR to improve their effectiveness.
Tetras - I know nothing about because I don't use Forge World. But I've heard that they are good, so I'll just go with that.
Hammer Head - It would be worth adding the SMS because the extra shots and blind fire are very helpful for positioning. I would also recommend the TL (target lock), so you can shoot the RG at tanks and the SMS at troops in the same turn.
Overall, with the changes I recommended and dropped 1 FW from each squad, you would under your point cost and have a much more effective force against high AS armies.

1000 point list:
HQ - same as before
FW - drop the 3rd squad and increase the 2 remaining squads to 8. This will give you more points for the changes and conventrate the fire power of the squads.
Suits - same as before, could possibly drop one of the GD for each.
Tetras - same as before
Hammer Heads - same as before
Overall, I give basically the same changes as before. It's up to you if you want to have more FW or GD to protect your suits. I think this will be a strong, mobile list that can bounce around to pick away at the enemy while the FW provide a strong fire base to fall back on.

These are both good lists that are suited to fight your local meta. On a side note, be careful about buying too much too quickly. Try to paint each squad/tank before buying the next. Otherwise you'll wind up with a huge To-Do pile and a daunting task! Good Luck

Therefore it would be better to use a HH than broadsides.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5291645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5291645.page GMT Re:750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested I actually played my first game not against close friends just an hour ago and it went well enough
I will definitely be thinking about the target locks on the HHs.
I prefer the Hammer Heads to the Broadsides for a number of reasons, the BS's are much slower and easier to kill is the main point but I really like the submunition for killing large numbers of infantry and the tetras usually allow me to hit pretty easily with the solid shot so I don't really need the Twin.

But HH vs BS is up to the player entirely, I've had people talling me that my choises were totally wrong and still done pretty good damage, so play what you like, if you have good tactics and your dice don't hate you, you should do fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292192.page GMT 750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292298.page GMT 750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested HQ runs by himself? If so you should drop the gun drones for shield drones, majority toughness/saves and add a TA and HWMT.

If your playing against a lot of meq armies I would suggest a squad of Helios suits (PR, FB, MT).

Run 2 8 man FW squads ATM and use the extra points for the shas'el
other than that its a great starting list.

When you decide to increase your army again for the third HS option I would go for a broadside team and squat them on top of a bastion and rain down AT fire everywhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5292625.page GMT 750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested Open question to anyone: do you ever use sniper teams? I have occasionally and they have been so-so. What's you opinion?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5294009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5294009.page GMT 750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested
@xonoa - in your 750 list I probably wouldn't bother with black sun filter on your fire warriors. if you main enemies are marines etc there natural save will nearly always be better than the cover save from night fighting so you could drop 3 points a squad from that and then drop another 10 points a squad from losing the team leader 1 ld and 1A is not worth 10 if your not going for an infantry upgrade.
With your shas.el I would drop the AFP and replace with plasma like freytag93 said and with the points dropped on the fire warriors squad you can take shield drones instead of gun drones as currently your toughness is being lowered by the gun drones and you have no invulnerable save.
Tetras are awesome but may be a bit expensive at this point value considering its one armour 10 skimmer with only 2 hull points so can be glanced to death by bolters ( I use 4 in higher point lists )
Crisis suits again from the points drop on the fire warriors you could trade out the burst cannons for fusion blaster. I don't like burst cannons on crisis suits unless your specifically doing a squad of anti troop suits they have less range and the same damage as a pulse rifle I know 3 shots is nice but I prefer the enemy having no save.
Hammerhead is solid, target lock is a nice add on but is a bit pointless if your going to hide the hammer head at the back of your army. In smaller point lists I sometimes take the ion cannon as 3 S7 Ap3 shots can cause havoc on marine squads especially if your opponent has a devastator squad.

1000 list has a similar feel though you may consider dropping a tetra nd boosting the fire warrior squads to 8 men to make the survive longer.

Otherwise have fun and let me know how it goes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5295861.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5295861.page GMT 750 or 1000 Point Tau Army Feedback Requested http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5296293.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507290/5296293.page GMT
