I would bare minimum split the warriors into units of 5(units greater than 5 just die to morale) and do two battalions by dropping a ghostkeel and picking up a commander and another cadre or ethereal. you will probably need to go down to 4 drones per unit to fit that in.

Although the problem is the army has very little oomph. Tau do very well with synergy and I see shield drones which is good and an ethereal but your missing on Commanders which are just the hive tyrants of the codex sort of speak. Couple of FB coldstars go a long way especially if you wait until you can safely snipe something so you can just suicide the next turn, usually turn 1 I have a commander sit in my little gunline hub and use Kauyon if there are no easy pickings for him (it would have to be really attractive for me to not stay and use Kauyon). After that just watch for a turn 2 opening and snipe a tank/MC/Character with your 49"/58" range of death (40 move 18 guns 1/2 is better).

Ghostkeels are great for sitting on objectives and holding that "aggro" from their stealth fields and drones but they rarely ever really do anything besides infuriate your opponent. I love running one, but basically you are going to be relying on a riptide and y'vahra to do ALL the heavy lifting with this list. And Y'vahra is going to probably erase a unit or two with the 14" flamer but will probably die in the subsequent turn you go ham with it. Also Target Lock on Y'vahra is just meh, ATS is great for it but I would just forgo the second system unless you really wanna pay 40pts for the shield generator everything else just seems to help one gun. Maybe I am wrong on that as I have yet to put together my Y'vahra and haven't actually run it yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758577/10019757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758577/10019757.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758577/10033274.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758577/10033274.page GMT
