So had an idea with the new tau rules they have lots of stealth and/or shrouding so i thought that i could do a stealth themed army. Not sure how good it would do but here is what i was playing around with in the idea department
HQ
Shas'o TL missile pod, plasma rifle, bonding knife, black sun, multi tracker, targetlock, iridium armour and stimulant injector
Elite
3 man stealth unit with leader all have 2 gun drones so 6 in total
3 man stealth unit with leader and leader has fusion gun
Troops
2 x 12 man firewarriors with shas'ui with bonding knife and they all have photon grenades
2 x 12 man firewarriors with shas'ui with bonding knife and they all have photon grenades with devil fish with smart missiles, disruption pods, flechette discharges and multi trackers
heavy
2 x hammer heads with rail guns and smart missiles, black sun disruption pods, flechette discharges and multi trackers
3 units of sniper drones (counts as one heavy slot)
Fordifications
aegis defence line with quad gun
1961 points (so a few points left over)
the commander and the stealth squad with the gun drones will be in the defence line so the commander can use the quad gun and his missile pods. he has the plasma gun for termies or if he uses the interceptor rule to attack something that comes in from reserve. The fire warriors have stealth withing 8" cause of photon grenades and all the vehicles have shrouding when the unit firing at them is 12" or more away. The snipers and the stealth units have stealth and shrouding.
The stealth unit with the fusion gun with hide and try to move up to melta something. fire warriors will ether sit back or stay in their devil fish to get objectives.
Lots of shootings, tonnes of str 5 too late to do the math on how many str 5 shots this can put out but its a lot. 9 str 6 ap 3 pinning
i dont own the sniper drones or the second hammer head but i could run everything else pretty easy
