Well I am going to give my Tau a go today. I am still modififying my list to be wysiwyg thanks to missle drones and high yield missiles. To be frank I can spend 300 dollars or by missile bits since I already have 9 broadsides. Anyway I'm working on the missile drones which isn't too hard to convert.

All that being said I think this is the list I will be running for tournament play. I droped a fire warrior squad and my hammerhead to add another broadside team. The reasoning for this my riptides is enough to handle a landraider or two. I might drop my 4 man pathfinder team to give my fire warriors bombs to handle tanks as well. If it is an issue I will change my list accordingly.

Since for the most part I seen less vehicles overall, unless crons. I think this list will do well. This list is in response to the 60 hounds of khorne garbage. I think if I now face that list I can erradicate almsot all 3 squads and I have faith they will perish if they try to assault.

I have a lot of points in heavy support. I might drop the 2 sides and go with snipers and back to 5 fire warrior squads. However I think the durablity of the sides on top of the 2 riptides will do a heap of damage.
