Complete with stupid formatting, necessitated by my lack of time, and copy/pasting from Heresy Online. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how to go about fixing it so it doesn't end up looking crap, although probably using Notepad as a stopover between HO and email would've worked. Oh well.
I'd have liked better to drop the 2 Hounds than the Targetting Arrays on the Piranhas, but it simply wasn't possible. Much to my consternation, I cannot find the Pathfinders I converted from Fire Warriors last year to use those. :(
Equally importantly, if you check the list above, it omits the Disruption Pods I purchased for the Piranhas. You can see yourselves the points have been paid, so at least that's something. :-/
One of these days I'll get to go to a tournament with my first choice army, all the correct models and accessories, my own Codex, and without getting models for it at stupidly short notice. Some day...

I am a fan of that Tau list Tke. I would prefer more Fireknifes, but that's because my local group has loads of BA jumpers armies.
Good luck!
How are you thinking of coping with necrons and if they have night fight?
Suppose may as well ask plans for facing GK/SW since they seem to be the main armies appearing with a sprinkling of Blood angels.
Necrons could be an issue, assuredly - but depends how many Solar Pulses, and which mission. Certainly Railguns can eat face, particularly on their supposedly great Quantom Shielding, and you've gotta remember I have a lot of re-roll distance or ignore NF entirely weapons.
GK/SW/BA - all use Razors which I can destroy as easily as each other, or Chimeras, which is like fighting IG.
Not saying it's easy, because that'd be silly - but I know WHAT to do, it's simply a matter of doing it correctly, and not rolling like I've never seen a dice before.
There are lots of SW going to Arkham this time around aren't there? You might need to keep any eye out for Wolf Scouts getting stuck into your Broadsides while remember to dick over anyone that has TWC by plonking objectives up high on ruins.
As for Newcrons: you have lots of BS Filters on the Crisis Suits but I wonder if you'd need them more on the Broadsides to make use of those lovely S10 AP1 guns.
BTW: Fireknife & Deathrain. The former is Plasma/Pod and the latter is?
GK: You can do very well against them. Psybolt ammo doesn't really worry Broadsides who are the ones that will do most of the damage (bagging Dreads easily before shifting to Razors unless there are Ravens about). You're not worried about Sanctuary (when will you ever assault) and Fortitude is sort of negated by AP1 making stunned/shaken results more unlikely (sort of).
Finally, don't forget that your suits are S5 in combat and can do a number on car parks when they multi-charge. Good luck.
