Hey guys,
Not much experience with tau in general, but looking to collect a tau force from FW, partially influenced by ThaneAquilon's cool looking Tau fleet. I don't have much experience playing them, but here's what I thought would be a cool list. It is built using 180pt protector and 45pt castellan
2000pts
Kor'O + Aun'O
2 x Custodian Grand Cruiser
6 x Warden Gunship
6 x Castellan Gunship
4 x Protector Cruiser (2 x Vior'La configuration)
Basic strategy is too keep the custodians back alongside one very angry castellan squadron, hoping to catch some unlucky chump in a scissor of 28 torpedo, 12 AC, 36 Battery, 4 Lance face-pulp-a-thon. Two groups, each composed of 2 protectors (1 of each variant) and three wardens, loop and weave around the field, drawing opponents out and into the range of the other groups for combined fire, hopefully polymorphing them into crimson space-paste. The fleet has lots of long range torpedoes (great against chaos, pretty good against IN and Orks), pretty average ordnance (great against orks and SM), and enough long batteries to stand a chance against eldar.
Is this fleet too weak, and does it having any glaringly obvious weaknesses?
