1,000 point Tau Tourny list, need help

[LtCmdrTyler]

On saturday, I'm going to a Tournament at a local hobby store, theres some awesome prizes if I win, not to mention bragging rights. But, its a 1000 and every single army has someone playing except for Demons. There is 37 people signed up all together. I can't decide what to bring in my 1000. Here is what I know for sure I want.

2 Hammerheads with railguns and disruption pods, decoy launchers, flechette
Im debating taking 2 squads of 12 Firewarriors or 4 squads of 6.

What do the fine people of Tau online think I should bring?

Well, what are the rules restrictions for army building in this tournament? Do you need an HQ, a certin number of Troops, anything like that?

[Boneguard]

Without knowing what you have I would recommand somethnig along those line.

HQ
Shas'el with either Plasma and CIB or a Helios suit, plus extra gooding such as HW drone controller with shield drones.

Elite:
1 squad of either burning eyes or Helios suits
1 squad of either deathrain or Firestorm suit or stealth suit w/ markerdrones

Troop
3x8 fire warriors with devilfish with Dpod, sms and multitracker

Fast
Pathdfinder with 'fish

Heavy
2 hammerhead.

This should help to deal with GEQ, MEQ and Horde relatively well.

Good list Boneguard, all i would do is get rid of one of the DF inthe FW teams then just give the pathfinder DF to them. The pathfinders won't really be moving anyway and if set up properly with scouting they should be easily defensible

True indeed, you could scratch 1 DF from the FW and use the pathfinder's. After all, they are very static.

That's the kind of list I would field, since it's a pretty descent Taker-all mech list.

I like your suggestion boneguard, and I have all of that available, but how do I get all of that into 1000 points?

And to answer SteelPanthers question, as far as I know its standard Force Org. Chart with randomized game types and deploment types.
