     Railgun; Two Burst Cannons; Landing Gear
     #Targetting Array

     Decoy Launcher
     Multi-tracker

Models in Army: 70


Total Army Cost: 2000

Here's the tactic behind this army:

 I wanted to make a army that could have a solid line of defense while having a part of the army wich was very mobile. The static line will hold my side of the board while the mobile part of the army tries to go down a flank. Thats why I have 1 FW squad in a devilfish, 1 stealth team and 2 hammerheads. The Crisis team with Missile Pods will probably go down the flank while the Shas'o and his bodyguards try to hold up the enemy in the middle. The Pathfinders will be deploy in the opposite flank to attrack some attention.

Now I know it will never work perfectly but it's just a base plan. That's why I also wanted a versatile army, so I can adjust my tactic to the situation.

So, what do you guys think.
modified some of the points values to stop 40K getting in trouble. Cheers wiggus

1)drop the twinlinking ofn the shas'o  he hits on two up anyways
2) personally i'd drop the 2 man team of crisis in favour of filling out those fire warrior squads and the last stealth suit.
other than that fairly strong list but try not to have predetermined tactics as a sudden surprise may see your plan fall to pieces

This list looks pretty good to me. It just depends on who you are playing.
My 1350 (now 3000) pts of Tau beat My friends 1850 pts of IW.

Smilie band lives on
