1750 Tau

So here is the list I have come up with for my Tau that I'd like to playtest. It is a little more on the competitive side rather than fluffy.

Comes out to 1748.

Obviously I will have to modify the Tetras with the new rules once I can get a copy of the new Imperial Armor 3. Depending on the changes made I have a sneaking suspicion I will be replacing them either with Pathfinder or Markerlight drones.

I am still debating what weapons to give my crisis commander and my crisis team. With dual plasma each it might be overkill with the amount of AP2 that I have. Missile Pods might not go wrong especially with the commander giving the whole thing either Tank-Hunter or Monster-Hunter each turn. The same goes with Fusion Blasters.
