um,
The Key note here is that it is a Fast Attack. Thus if the rules are accepted. You can make a Tau Army, consiting of 6 Monsterous Creatures. So much for your typical stereotype Tau Gun line.
The Nova reactor : Escape Thrust is kinda cool.
and the Vector Thrust Array would allow it to get up close and personal.
Look forward to seeing if the rules get accepted.

worse than six MC's... six riptides...
so those people that have a hard time dealing with three with broadside support now can try dealing with double that amount!
six riptides + two buffmanders with broadsides + couple kroot troops outflanking for objectives late game
totally possible at 2k

I think you’d be better off with broadsides in there, even if you stick with the cadre fireblade, drop down to all kroot troops for the infiltrate and load out with missilesides. If you can spare the pints, sniper rounds for the kroot and a marker drone or two for your fireblade so they can make use of a higher BS.

he's already at min-toops and the cheapest HQ... no way to get missilesides in without dropping a riptide... so if riptide spam is the goal, this does get the most possible

Riptide spam should never be anyone's goal.
Just saying. =P
FW just loves to make their big ol' expensive models. An' they can copy paste stuff from the Riptide kit to make variations which is their second favourite thing ever.
