Few things you must know about me before you comment.
1. I am by no means a tournament player.
2. while I do like to win, I do not want this list to be WAAC.
3. I don't do heldrakes.

All that aside, I really like this "3 threat" thing I have been trying as of late. the 2 maulerfiends and the demon prince tend to soak up a lot of fire, and the plague marines tend to get relatively safer travel to their objective. I understand this is best case scenario, and believe me I've had my stuff all popped on turn one, but haven't we all? The Tau on the other hand provide anti-TEQ
kill light vehicles,and somewhat decent anti air. The commander goes with the 3 man squad while his bodyguard deepstrike. the reasoning for all the target locks is so the drones can provide markerlight support without forcing the whole units shots. as for the fire warriors...I honestly don't know if I can change these, I feel like I should, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

any suggestions would be great dakka, but if at all possible please leave the "twins" alone(maulerfiends)

Thanks.
Isaiah

Consider a neuroweb jammer for the commander, it is criminally cheap and quite effective.

I am fairly certain your commander has to drop with the bodyguards, so that is a bit of a hole in your strategy. An iridium suit would be good if you have points.

Either combine your warriors into 1 12 man team or drop the other team. 6 man teams are not very scary and easily killed, while a 12 man team actually does something. The points for a 6 man team could be better spent elsewhere. Alternatively, consider kroot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550002/6013958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550002/6013958.page GMT I don't take a nurgle prince as he is not a psyker at all,so slaanesh is for the fleet as I fail charge rolls more than any player should. I considered burning brand on the lord,but it came down to a points thing, so after hearing it twice I might have to find room.

As for the tau commander, I wasn't quite sure if IC still allowed him to leave, and was unable to find anything on it in the codex, so that like you said could be a hole in my plan. I agree completely with your fire warrior statement,but it kind of came down to having more objective holders, so I might have to make the switch and get some kroot.


thanks for your insight
