So with all the talk and *****ing about Cron Air lists being stupid and no fun and over powered etc., I decided to go ahead and make a list to utterly crush it. Caveat: I haven't put this into practice, but from the lists I've seen, I'm pretty sure this would stomp any Cron Air list it faced. It's unfortunate that there is no one in my area who has jumped on the Cron Air bandwagon, so the chances of me putting this into practice are slim to none, but hopefully some other Tau player will take up the mantle and test it for me. (If I do run into a Cron Air player, I will definitely do it myself.)
So without further ado:

Comes out to 2000 pts exactly. Tons of high strength, long range, twin linked shots and all with Night Vision. It should devastate the Scythes, and Scarabs won't last long against that many instant death shots. Wraiths, while durable, only have a 3+ save and will die just like Marines to that many missiles.
Whaddya guys think?
