I'm doing an unbound list to fight Tau, and I'm at the limit of my models. Looking to tweak this for Thursday's game. This is what I have so far:

The only models I can add/swap out with are two gun drones and two shield drones. I do have a gun drone squad primed and could finish them with an effort if I wanted to work hard at it tonight and tomorrow night.

Oh, and my opponent has no flyers. Unless he got sneaky and bought and built some over the weekend.

OK tweaked it so i could put two Shield drones with my broadsides and two gun drones with my Xv-8 Crisis Team. Reduced one Firewarrior team by one so cadre Fireblade can go with them in the Devilfish; reduced pathfinders by one to get points for drones. Took EMP grenades out across the list.
