    Default Tau w/Space Marine Allies 1.5k

    Here's a thought.... and I have the spare Space Marines to pull it off.

    HQ
    • Crisis Suit Commander w/Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker, Plasma Rifle, Shield Drones x2

    Elites
    • 3 Crisis Suits w/Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker, Plasma Rifle

    Troops
    • 10 Fire Warriors, Shas'ui w/Bonding Knife in a Devilfish w/Gun Drones & Sensor Spines
    • 10 Fire Warriors, Shas'ui w/Bonding Knife in a Devilfish w/Gun Drones & Sensor Spines

    Fast Attack
    • 2 Tetra Scout Speeders

    Heavy Support
    • 3 Broadsides
    • Hammerhead w/Burst Cannons, Railgun

    HQ
    • Librarian

    Troops
    • 10 Tactical Marines, 1 Meltagun, 1 Multi-Melta, Power Sword Sergeant, in a Drop Pod

    Basically, the Space Marines are a distraction. I can drop them right up in my opponent's face. Meltaguns can take on heavy armor or threaten vehicles, while rapid-firing boltguns are pretty damn good at shredding infantry. The Librarian drops with the Tac Marines and gives me the possibility of canceling out enemy Psykers. While my Space Marines are distracting my opponent or stubbornly hanging on to an objective, my Tau have a chance to maneuver into position, assault objectives, and otherwise get **** done

    The only thing I'd love to scare up the points for is a pair of shield drones.

    Anyway, what do you think?
