1000pts. Tau "All Comers"

[The Envoy (AWOL)]

So, my friends want to put together a map campaign with a starting force of 1000pts. Once you build the inital list, you can't change the core 1000pts. but can add or subtract later on.

So, this is what I put together:

HQ:

Commander-185pts.
Iridium Armor, Stimm Injector, Shield Generator, Cyclic Ion Blaster, Plasma Rifle, Hard-Wired Multi-Tracker

2x Gun Drones

Elite:

Crisis Team-124pts.
XV-8 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker
XV-8 with Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker

Troops:

Fire Warrior Team-110pts.
10x Fire Warriors
Shas'Ui

Fire Warrior Team-110pts.
10x Fire Warriors
Shas'Ui

Kroot Carnivore Squad-126pts.

Heavy Support:

Hammerhead-170pts.
Railgun, Burst Cannons, Multi-Tracker, Disruption Pods, Target Lock

Hammerhead-145pts.
Ion Cannon, Smart Missile System, Multi-Tracker, Disruption Pods, Target Lock

Total: 970pts.

C&C welcome and asked for.

i would change the kroot with another fire warrior squad

Wow...I almost forgot I posted this.

As to the idea, I really don't like dropping my Kroot for much of anything. They have saved my ass on numerous occasions as a counter charge/delay unit. With outflanking, they've decimated units of Marines, Gaunts, Stealers, and even have 3 Carnifexes and a Terminator squad to their name. They're sort of my safety blanket for when things get sticky.

I have however removed them once before when playing against Orks because I wanted the firepower, so I'll give it a try with and without them, see how it works out.
