If the tau player takes Longstrike, you can be guaranteed your ravagers will bite it.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. A venom, loaded with blaster born, deepstrikes behind a hammerhead (courtesy of Duke), and you'll have that hammerhead in the bag.
I have both armies. I know the strengths and weaknesses pretty well.
