Hey all! I went for an all mechanized Hunter Cadre. I think it is quite a strong list, but tell me what you guys think. Right now, I think I covered all my bases. Pirahnas for Anti-Tank, Crisis suits for poping transports and AV 10-12, also with some secondary flexibility. While the Railheads can do either anti-tank or anti-horde. All the vehicles have cover saves, should piss off my opponets. Tell me what you guys think.

Looks like a fairly solid list. But, I’m of the opinion that tau shooting is pretty much useless without at least 2 pathfinder squads. Also with 3 Hammerheads, unless you were expecting to go up against a lot of armor, the 4 piranha are a little redundant.

That's a decent list.

You'd be better served, though, by cutting those piranhas and maybe that fourth, foot firewarrior squad to bulk up on crisis suits. Make the Fireknives bodyguards for your shas'el so that they can have targeting arrays, then bring three squads of TL Missile Launcher/Flamer suits. Make sure each squad has a couple of drones on its Shas'vre--preferably shield drones, though gun drones are acceptable.

Ditch the target lock on the Shas'el, give him a pair of shield drones.

Finally, consider dropping one hammerhead for a couple of broadsides.

I don't have a tau codex anymore, so I'm not certainly how the points work out, exactly.

Otherwise, looks likes like a good list.
