So, after going to TSHFT and seeing Aventine's lovely Tau+SM list, it got me thinking about my own list, and adding in some Tau allies seems doable. So, here's what I've got so far (just a prototype list, mind you. Highly variable at this point), I'm looking to build a fairly competitive list that isn't going to get me stomped in a standard tournament format.
Tactics: The Buff-commander starts with different squads depending on army (lascannon sm for anti-armor, riptide for anti-MEQ, broadsides for anti-horde), with the riptide and storm guppies playing aggressive, kroot outflank for late game obj. grab or killing MC, and 10 man tactical squads either combat squad for 6 scoring units or keep together for tough to kill blobs.
