Thanks all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5996222.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5996222.page GMT AA.

If you do want to go with Tau, the best AA Riptide mathematically is one from the Farsight supplement with the HBC, EWO, VT, and Earth Caste Piloting Array. Riptide needs to get is Nova Charge off to the get the volume of fire to get some rends, with a rend Auto-penning AV 12.

The drones are somewhat confusing as well. With only one other Tau unit, best case you have right now is having the FB and 'ui use Splitfire and the TL to put 2 ML shots into something while the 11 FWs and drones light something else up.

I would suggest dropping the drones and 'ui and just having FB boost the Riptide.

Hope that helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5997126.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5997126.page GMT really good feedback.

As you said, I will probably wait until the new codex, and build a new list around that, with Tau in it if necessary. If I do, I shall definitely take this advice, thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5998202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549000/5998202.page GMT
