So I'm in the list building stage of the game. Still not a lot of experience with gameplay but I'm hoping to build my first serious army, and 1000 seems a good place to start. Feedback would be appreciated.

1000 pts

Battalion Detachment

Sept: T'au

HQ:

-Cadre Fireblade (42pts)

-Ethereal (70pts)

--Hover Drone, 2x shield drones

​

Troops:

-Strike team (55pts)

--4 Fire warriors/pulse rifle, 1 Shas'ui, 2x Shield drones

-Strike team (55pts)

--4 Fire warriors/pulse rifle, 1 Shas'ui, 2x Shield drones

-Strike team (55pts)

--4 Fire warriors/pulse rifle, 1 Shas'ui, 2x Shield drones

-Strike team (55pts)

--4 Fire warriors/pulse rifle, 1 Shas'ui, 2x Shield drones

​

Elites:

-3x XV8 Crisis Battlesuits (243pts)

--Fusion Blaster/Plasma Rifle/Shield Generators

--6x Shield Drones

-XV-95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit(144pts)

--2x burst cannon, Fusion Collider, Shield Generator

--2x MV5 Stealth Drones

​

Fast Attack:

-Pathfinder Team(147pts)

--1xRecon Drone, 1x Pulse Accelerator Drone, 2x Shield Drones

--6x Pathfinders, 3x Pathfinders w/Rail Rifle, 1x Shas'ui

​

Heavy Support:

-XV88 Broadside (131pts)

--2x Smart missile system, Heavy Rail Rifle, ATS, Seeker Missile

--2x Shield Drone

​

So the general idea here is a firing line of fire warriors buffed by the Ethereal and Fireblade. Pathfinders provide markerlight support and rail rifle fire for a bit of extra punch. The Broadside nukes mobs or hits vehicles as needed, the XV-8's are for use against tougher infantry and light vehicles, and the Ghostkeel operates as another mob/vehicle killer as required.

​

I'm open to ideas and comments! This is meant for fun but i'd also like it to be a little bit competitive since I'd like to dip my toe in some of the local tournaments.
