Tau gunline

[manrogue]

Tempted to try out this list using the new Tau formation, Gun line tau-
   
The pathfinders would be 2 groups of 5, riptide with heavy burst is part of the formation. Nova charge him and get to re-roll those gets hot 1's to hit against marine codex's.
Commander awesome (TM big Rob) foes with a broadside unit to ignore cover and make missiles hit on a 2+.
Fun list i think......

Just made possibly a worse one, with 2 of these formations (no limit on the amount you can include from what i hear!). So 12 missile sides 3 missile drones and 2 riptides with 3 kroot troops and 1 commander awesome......under 1500
Would ruin marine armies, re-rolls to hit, reroll 1's to wound, all S7. The broadsides would put out 48 S7 shots a turn at 36 inches with tank hunter and 48 S5 ignore cover no line of sight at 30 inches.....
Anyone have any Broadsides they don't want?
