Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

===Kill-Team===
Tau may have a hard time in Kill-Team, especially if your strategy revolves around Markerlights, however you can take a basic team of 6 Fire-warriors, 3 Stealth Suits, and 4 Pathfinders, with 12 points left, or take a Team of 6 Fire-warriors, 4 Pathfinders, and 2 Piranha's with 22 points left for upgrades, and seeing as even the Tau's most basic troop weapon has a 1 in 3 chance of scoring a glancing hit against AV 10 and a 1 in 6 against AV 11, your greatest enemy will be your generally small Squad size, although Over-watch may be fun, especially with "Supporting Fire"

It is also possible to make a kill team out of Kroot and Stealth suits. The advantage here is that the whole kill team can infiltrate. 10 sniper rifles performs well regardless of what your opponent brings, krootox give great supporting fire, and the stealth team brings the leadership 'vre and a fusion blaster to take care of  those people who can't resist bringing a vehicle. Your opponent's face when you infiltrate your whole team directly into be best cover is priceless. 

The unofficial version allows you access to a single Broadside at 50 points and makes Pathfinders a Special choice, so Markerlights become more scarce but it's possible to make a more interesting, if smaller, team.
