Although I have 3 riptides, two of them are nothing special. The one I got pics here is my third, the so-called "Farsight" riptide.
I hope you and everyone else enjoys these pics. If anyone can't see them properly, let me know and let me know how to post them here, or on another part of BOLS so the pics can be bigger.
Awesome list, it inspires me to get ready and double down with getting Tau this year, thanks!
So cute when little fish men play with swords :P. Does look good, though!

I don't think Tau are really lacking as such. Yes, they're not great at Combat, but fer cryin out loud have you tried getting to them? The number of Shooting Dice rolls they can make, plus their (my mates next door can Overwatch with me) rules are horrific, especially with Marker Lights to aid their Ballistic Skill and ruin your cover saves).
I've played Fast Attack, Outflanking and Deep Striking against them and yes I got them running away from me, but there was still always someone shooting. Riptides I feel are OTT and that new suit that has had its rules leaked... Beyond a joke. Seriously, if any Tau player puts even 1 of them up against me outside of an Apoc game, it will collide with my size 11 shoe (even in Apoc, more that 1 when you have Riptide Spam is wrong).
I'm all for a bit of competition, (especially when it requires tactical thinking) but that is vile.
