Need help with a tournament list.

[The Man They Call Jayne]

I have a tourney in a few weeks and I have until the end of the month to get my list in. My problem is this. I do not have, nor can I get any of the shiny new hurty units. I am stuck with what I used to have.

I will be facing off against DA, GK, Orks, Necrons and some BA I think. And one other Tau player.

I have at my disposal:

Firewarriors x36
Crisis suits x 10
Stealth suits x 6
Hammerhead Chassis x 2
XV88 x 3
Numerous Drones.

I cannot take Foregworld units, but i can use a forgeworld model to represent a normal unit.

I cannot Proxy as such, but I can say that I have different weapons from what is modeled on the unit. So a Deathrain suit can go out as a Helios and so on.

Its 2000 points, and I may use up to 500 of those points for Allies. I am thinking SM librarian with some Scounts, mainly for Psychic Hood and Gate of Infinity.

I need this list to be tough and hard hitting. The other players are all very experienced and their lists are mean.

Any suggestions?

I have been thinking Farsight Bomb with Gate of Infinity.

Helios bodyguards. A Heatwave team with added Burstcannon each. Or maybe a 3rd flamer, im not sure yet. With a BC 3 of these suits come in a 92 points. Seems like a bargain to me.

I MAY be able to get hold of an Ethereal, preferably Aun'Va, which would really boost my mid range firepower.

It looks like, with the exception of Orks, you are mostly going to be playing against pretty heavy stuff and a ton of 3+ or 2+ armor as well as big tanks. Depending on the Ork player, you could also end up fighting a massive horde as well, but your biggest threat will still be the marines you have to face.

In other words, take anti armor. A lot of it. You're gonna need anti tank for most of those armies, (if not all,) and good AP too.
I don't know enough about Tau specifically to help you there, but that's my 2c.

The 2 Ork armies are BIG hordes. If it is anything like what I saw on tuesday, at 2000 points each guy had well over 150 models. There are going to be several fliers involved aswell.
