Doesn't make sense for Farsight either.... He's a renegade. How is he meant to lay his mitts on snackier toys than the rest of the Empire?

Because Tau are still good at developing technology, and he has a mysterious advanced sword which could be reverse engineered...
Red like roses, fills my dreams and brings me to the place where you rest...
Possible I guess.
Just purely thinking resources. The Tau are the only species in scientific growth, but they do have an entire caste across their species tinkering away.
To my mind, the only thing that would hold Farsight's lot back is a comparative lack of resources.
But that being said, I guess the Enclave could appeal to the wackier minded Earth Caste, who might enjoy vein able to work out from under Ethereal oversight.
Above list is still somewhat wishlisty, based off the rumour itself, and the example (not yet a precedent of course) set by Iyanden.

I wouldn't necessarily say Iyanden is balanced though, a Wraithknight Warlord? Ugh. I don't want to fight that.

Not sure that this went through -
This is a preliminary post on the Farsight rules - [url]http://wayoftheeldar.blogspot.com/2013/07/farsight-enclaves-supplement-review.html[/url]
Enjoy, I usually have these up day of or after, at least for the supplements.
The commando team just made me think of the avengers haha, riptide as the hulk etc.
If you took a full 7, sure, it'd be crazy expensive, but given it says up to, you can take anywhere from one to 7 Independent Character HQ that don't take force org slots. I feel like there must be some sort of useful utility there, especially in the IC Riptide.
Speaking of Riptides, as all Riptides in a Farsight army can take signature systems that means you can give a normal one an Earth Caste Piloting array. Can you say viable Heavy Burst Cannon? Rerollable nova reactor is pretty nuts, I'd imagine that system is fairly expensive...
Combining the Warscaper Drone and Seismic Fibrilation node seems like it'd be pretty nasty, especially with jetpacks letting you get those bubbles of effect exactly where you want them.... lots of interesting stuff.
