This looks like solid output. That fusion coldstar looks like a dead landraider  . I think you will get more out of Ion on the hammerheads, though the extra mortal wound mechanic with longstrike is dope. I think swapping an HQ for a second fireblade might help you get better coverage on those fire warriors who are going to do the anti infantry heavy lifting in your list and might be called on to finish vehicles. Would also get you another very accurate marker light. |

Ion Cannons on the Hammerheads. We talked about it a few days ago on another thread, here is the math I mentioned: Reddit mathhammerAnd pretty sure "Precision of the Hunter" is the better WL trait. "Exemplar of Mont'ka" is useless the turn you drop in, and with 20" base movement plus 6" from the relic, I guess you are not going to do much advancing at all. Could use one large unit of Kroot for anti-DS. And maybe a unit of Vespids instead of the drones. Otherwise looking good, but like with Nids, not of fan of going for a Brigade just for the CP. 2x Batallion + 1x 1CP detachment = 10 CP, and more options to put units into detachments where they profit from a better sept bonus. |

I think ion is better with the Sept tenet that lets you re roll dtype weapons. But you may very well be on to somthing just can't take longstrike with that sept. Also whic hq would you drop? They all have a place |

Why would commander start in ds? He has character protection with a 40" move thats not taking a drop to hit with an additional 6" move.? |

Yeah I guess that's true... if you are planning on using the 40" advance he is probably going to end up in a position where character protection won't help you, but the relic might and you don't have to worry about anti-DS deployment by your opponent. Still used to think about regular Commanders, lol.

T'au can take a brigade for 621 points. It gives you a lot of cheap units and then you use remaining points to build the list you want.
That's what I'm trying to do, but I keep getting I strongly disagree handed to me, so take with salt.

It's look ok, but I'm not the best judge as I'm still struggling to come to terms with the list. You a fan of the fire warriors? I've had better luck from breacher teams so far.
I also love a few units of kroot for screening.
I've found kroot hounds to be a real hidden gem.

Tau Sept fire warriors are point for point the scariest troop in the game buffing them with darkstrider(tau sept) and fireblades. 5+ over watch on bunched up small units of fw is broken. 20 stealers charge 5 units fire FTGG 6 stealers make the charge alive. The focus fire strat is a titan killer for sure(tau sept) fire warriors wounding T9 and under on 4s...
