Well for starters I would drop the heavy wep squad and spread your Auto cannons around your infantry squads so they can't all be took out in one shooting attack, it also gives them lots of survivability as they are hidden in 10 man squads.

I would put your pcs in the chimera instead of your infantry squad and give them 4 Flamers, very toasty little squad

Good plan! Thanks!

Doing that gives me an extra 75pts (from the removal of the Chimera). What'd you spend those on?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6211091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6211091.page GMT 1000pts worth of Imperial Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6212159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6212159.page GMT 1000pts worth of Imperial Guard ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6215383.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561110/6215383.page GMT 1000pts worth of Imperial Guard

I'm thinking of adding Stormtroopers to deepstrike my opponents riptides and melta them to death. Thoughts?

Its a good question, I have not tried meltavets deepstriking into Tau.

I have done ok vs Tau with this 750 point list

CCS, standard, moo: 95

PCS, autocannon: 40
PIS, LC: 70
PIS, LC: 70
PIS,LC: 70

PCS, autocannon: 40
PIS, LC: 70
PIS, LC: 70
PIS,LC: 70

Griffonx 2: 150

It is really hard vs Tau to be honest because they have so many large blasts going on, so dont bunch up too much. However this list have some serious long range firepower with 6 lascannons, 2 autocannons, moo and griffons x2. If he is riptide heavy you could swap out some LC for AC.

Problem is cheesy Tau lists can just run broadsides+riptides to simply blast anyone off the table/objectives. This list can runs a similar style and can dish out the pain nicely too. With the griffons you can clear baddie troops off objectives or just pummel anything squishy trying to hide from LOS - fun fun!
