I would cut the foot fire warrior squad, the shaper, and add more crisis suits.

the foot warriors use teh devil from the path finders

Super balanced and well themed. I just started playing Tau, but have 15+ years in the hobby. I like kroot hounds. They give a huge boost to the kroot in assault. I would maybe drop a few kroot in order to add 4 or 5 hounds, keeping the unit strength at 15.

2 FW squads is probably all you need, more Kroot and Hounds would be handy.

I'd also lose a lot of that gear on your Shas and suits, keep them cheap and get more.

The single Hammerhead is kinda worrying too, he could use a buddy.

Flechette dischargers is a pretty sweet vehicle upgrade too. It means certain units (IG, Ork Boyz, Gaunts, etc.) just can't assault your vehicles. Not bad for 10 points.

I would consider getting another pathfinder squad. Markerlight can get a whole army running (assuming it is not fearless). Pirhana are nice but are quite expensive for what they can do. You could get another Crisis all kitted-out for tank hunting that DS right next to its target for the same price.

Hammerhead are also a bit of a bullet magnet. Might want to try some SMS on the fish and concentrate on pushing your opponent of the table with Morale tests.

Just a thought ;-)

To shave some points for other goodies you should cut the FW squads down to 6 a piece, since they will be hanging out in the fish anyways. That is about 120 points extra for you. You could add in another squad of suits for that cost, albeit trimmed down suits. Twin linked missile pods come to mind with targeting arrays, you will rarely miss in that case. They are cheap, and can serve just about any role. I dont know about the cost there though, those may not fit under 120 points, but should be close.

I also suggest SMS on all the devilfish, they are golden IMO. Shooting without LOS is kinda unnerving to an opponent in my experience. Also your FW can stay in the fish to wait for late game objective grabs without worrying about losing the squad, and still getting serious firepower from your 'fish.

Those are my 2 cents!
