http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW store is doing a doubles tournament in 2 weeks, with a twist. Players can combine two armies into one 2000 point army. Each army must be at least 750 points and both armies will share one force organization chart. I know Tau (me) and IG (him) are very similar, but that's what my friend and I have to work with. Basically I'm looking for advice on good combinations that take advantage of each armies' rules.

For example, I probably won't be bringing markerlights because only my troops can take advantage of them. That's the problem I'm running into - most of the Tau special rules only effect Tau.

I was thinking of maybe fire warriors behind an IG troop blob because they'll be able to fire overwatch if the guard get charged (supporting fire). Also, I think the IG HQ can issue commands to my Fire Warriors as well (single friendly non-vehicle unit).

If I bring my 2 Riptides, then he can take a Leman Russ squadron in the remaining Heavy slot. Not so sure about the rest.

Here's what we're working with:

Tau - 2 Riptides, 3 Crisis, 3 Hammerheads (that can be made into Sky Rays), 3 Devilfish, 36 Fire Warriors, 10 Pathfinders, 1 Piranha, 1 ethereal, 3 stealth suits
IG - 6 Leman Russ, 30 guardsmen, 3 sentinels, 4 heavy weapons teams, 1 manticore, 3 hellhounds (vehicles can be weapon swapped)

We can also both pick up something things if needs be.
