I've been playing Tau for a short time...I wanted a "shooty" army after playing several in your face type armies. I officially have 5 games under my belt with this list. Currently the record stands at 3-0-2. Draws in the first two games vs. Orks and 'Nids, last three games all wins vs. Vanilla Marines, Chaos Demons and Chaos Marines. Any suggestions/critiques would be appreciated.
HQ: 291 pts.
Shas'el - Fusion, Plasma, MT, HWTL, HWDC, 2x Shield drones
Bodyguard 1 - Fusion, Plasma, TA, HWMT, Bonding Knife
Bodyguard 2 - Fusion, Plasma, TA, HWMT
(usually deepstrike these guys and kill whatever unit/vehicle is annoying me)
Elites 1: 177 pts.
Shas'vre - CIB, MP, TA, HWMT, Bonding Knife
2 x Crisis Suits - BC, MP, MT
Elites 2: 160 pts.

Starting in game three I began moving the whole army (except pathfinders) as a group around the table. Basically running away until I whittle the other army down to a point I can start charging for objectives.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
