Returning to my Tau army that I picked up when they first came out (2001). Basically I'm trying to make the best of what I've got. To bring it up to 1500pts, I'm considering fielding 5 Remora drones.

Commander [160pts]
Shield Generator, Failsafe Detonator, Flamer, Fusion, 2 Shield Drones

Fire Warriors [108pts]
12 units, Pulse Rifles

Kroot [60pts]
10 units

Crisis Suit [156pts]
3 units, plasma, burst cannon, counterfire defense

Stealth Suits [247pts]
6 units, 2 marker drones, 2 fusion blasters
Sergeant upgrade, Markerligh, Homing Beacon, drone controller

Pathfinders [174pts]
10 units, 2 rail rifles, Sergeant upgrade, 2 marker drones

Sniperdrone [160pts]
1 marksmen, 3 drones

Broadside [85pts]
Heavy Rail Rifle, Smart Missile system, Velocity Tracker

DX-6 Remora Drones [450pts]
5 units

It's not the deadliest tool in the shed, but I'd prefer not fielding Riptides or Skyrays. I think the Remoras can cover my butt in a lot of ways.
