What points/PL are you playing?

You have an odd assortment of models for building good detachments...

We are playing a 1500 point game. I can use any models, but what do you mean detachments? sorry i'm still learning. im mostly just trying new things to learn what is synergizing as best I can. In my area 40k players are very limited (its sad really) so i've gained my knowledge playing this army and this game vs Tau and Grey Knights, and last edition was harsh with those opponents so my armies seem to be skewed to most other nid players. This is something completely new, but I think this has potential vs Tau.

1. this army can cover the whole map, and with Tau 72" range they usually just sit in a hole on the other side of the board, so I can run up left, right, or center.

2. with pie plates gone I cant get blasted into chaos

3. GSC. Yeah.

4. with the sentinels and biovores I think I can at least take out 1 hammerhead, and pray to god a riptide a turn. He'll be more intimidated by whatevers closest

5. If I get into CC with Tau units its GG

In matched play, all units in your army need to be organised into detachments. This means having certain numbers of particular 'battlefield roles' I.e. Hq, troops, elites, heavy support, etc.

If you look up matched play in the big rule book it has details of the generic detachments available to everyone.

Having detachments gives you access to command points, which you can spend on strategems, which will become more important once we have a codex.
