I expect to face at least one aircraft AV 10 and at least one land raider. One guy will drop pod me. But aside from that all lists will be hoard infantry.

How about something like;

Ethereal 50
2x 8 FW 144
Riptide w/HBC, VT, TL fusion 185
4 pathfinders
Broadside w/HYMP, TL SMS, missile drone 77]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005270.page GMT A great support unit/distraction unit too.
Good luck with he tourney mate ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005291.page GMT
Also how are pathfinders a great support unit? They cost as much as a well equipped crisis suit, only land 2 marks lights a turn on average. Meaning I can ignore cover with a single squad, or raise a single squad to BS 5, but even then the extra crisis suit would result in more wounds, and for just 20 points I can give squad the multispectrum upgrade and they will have ignores cover. Really not worth their point cost. I feel like they are extremely over rated by newer Tau players. Some ten years ago one of the dakkanaughts math hammered out pathfinders and decided they are 20 points over costed for 4 and I still feel like they are 12 points over costed. Also without stealth they are an easy first blood.

Thinking about dropping the broadside and going for three Piranha and giving my crisis suits twin-linked or ignores cover, what do you guys think of that move?

I could even afford to add a fusion blaster or two on a piranha at that point.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549393/6005674.page GMT
