= 1500

The Gauss Immortals with the Veiltek are in this list because I only have 3 Ghost Arks right now.

Thoughts on the list?

[fellclaw01]

I think your list is solid but I'd change out a ghost arc for another night scythe one flier is like to get shot down but 2 or 3 is more likely to be more effective and gives more anti air. I run 2 and a doom scythe in my last list and was so impressed that I went up to 3

My current list is.

The tau hold home base objective and thier longer ranges mitigate a lot of the mid range limitations of necrons. The riptide is so tough and effective it basically secured my victory in my last game. The hammerhead seeks easy first blood. However after the first half of the game being a disaster the flyers put me back in the game against a tough taudar list because I could get my effective units where I needed them

Any other feedback?

I would swap one of the Ghost Arks for a second Night Scythe. One is too easy to destroy, two should be better.

I don't really understand why you've taken Ghost Arks with such small Warrior squads, it doesn't exactly make the most of their abilities. Can the Ark bring them above their starting unit size? If not, it isn't likely to get a chance to use that ability, they'll either wipe out the squad or not shoot them at all, which such a small unit there isn't much middle ground to be had.

Most lists can't deal with 7 av13 vehicles, it's not about the warriors rolling everything they shoot at each turn but the whole list being hard to take down

IMHO i would drop 1 Ark and take more warriors and i dont like a command barge . It never works for me .
AND i dont how you deal with landraiders , yeah i know .
But your list has to few bodies for my likening .
