Ok guys I'm in need of some help. My friend plays Tau and runs 2-3 riptides, 2 broadsides, a crisisbomb HQ thing??, 30 fire warriors, 10 pathfinders, and the devilray or whatever it's called. I've played him 3 times and lost all 3. I'm not being crushed but I'm not winning. I'm hoping you guys can peek at my list and tell me if it's the list, my tactics, or both.
Thanks
HQ
Arcon w/ splinter pistol, shadow field, husk blade, drugs, PGL
with 4 incubi in a Venom with 2x Splinter Cannon
Troops
10 warriors 1 blaster, 1 dark lance
10 warriors 1 blaster, 1 splinter cannon
10 wyches hydra gaunts, flail, PGL, agoniser, splinter pistol in a raider w/ dark lance
Fast
5 scourges with 3x shardcarbine, 2x splinter cannon
6 reavers 2x cluster caltropse, 2x blaster
Heavy
Talos Pain engine 2xCCW, twin linked heat lance
Elites
5 mandrakes (yes they are horrible, but it was all I could take to fill out the last points since my club doesn't allow proxies)
I also have a Haemonculous and 5 wracks, but I dont know if I should grab them or what I should change to add them. I Also have a voidraven bomber, but it's not finished yet.
Like I said I'm not getting crushed but his AP1 AP2 STR 8-9 weapons, plus all the twin linked and reroll, doesn't get hot large blast (please do not swear) just gets me in the end. I pretty much avoid the Riptides unless I absolutely have too engage them. He always deepstrikes his crisisbomb HQ thing. My Archon and his Incubi hold their own just fine against it, even killed it twice.
Thanks for the tips.
