OK, so I'm so sick and tired of waves of Grey Knights, Wolves and other "top armies" I've decided to play for the love for a few months - using Tau.
I have an old beautifully painted Tau army and want to just have fun with my toy soldiers darnit!
Here's my current 2000pt list.

So this is my default "meat and potatoes" list with minimal squad upgrades and more of the basics. Modelwise, I own 36 fire warriors - 24 rifles 12 carbines, explaining the troops armament.
So what's your take on how to tune this guy up with minimal new models required (try to limit it to under 10 if you must). I've taken a CSM player by complete surprise so far, and tabled him as he clawed his way on foot to me after having all his vehicles knocked out in quick order.
My general thoughts so far, are possibly I'm running too many fire warriors, or perhaps in a bad squad organization - but I do like having troops for objective management. Also, the army seems to have two big things going in its favor:
1) No one remember what the heck Tau do anymore
2) 5 Railguns scare people
Have at it gang.
