Rippers are actually not that bad, with leaping they're truly quite good. I'm not sure how much you needed the shooty upgrades on everything but you didn't seem to need the extra points. That initiative seize changes everything, gunline Tau needs 2 turns to shoot you; reducing it to 1 gave you a HUGE boost. Cool game! Keep up the reports.

I only lost one ripper swarm unit in the process to those hammerheads.

They have no ranged capabilities. Never heard of spinebanks? It's a carapace that gives you spinefists for 5pts. So they get 2 twin-linked S6 shots. Good for shooting down tanks trying to run away or to get an early wound on a target.
