	Gun drones are the only thing really worth talking about here, marker drones suffer along with pathfinders with markerlights being way less useful, and shield drones not shielding anything other than themselves. If you're up against anything with a 5+ armour save, and have even a little bit of LoS-blocking terrain on your board, JSJing pulse carbines will annoy the hell out of your opponent. Just be aware they can die relatively easy if you don't get them hidden, and that might hurt you when break tests start happening.

	However due to the lack of Squad based rules, avoid using the "Command and Control Node", the "Multi-Spectrum Sensor Suite" or target locks as these will just be deadweights, despite how useful they could be in this situation.		However due to the lack of Squad based rules, avoid using the "Command and Control Node", the "Multi-Spectrum Sensor Suite" or target locks as these will just be deadweights, despite how useful they could be in this situation.

			With the use of Combat Specialists, these become downright dirty. 42pts nabs you a Crisis Suit with a Twin Linked Plasma Rifle. Now grab the Weapon Specialist that gives you (basically) Ignores Cover. Pick a model within 24 inches. That model is now removed from play.

			Alternatively grab a Twin-Linked Burstcannon with Haywire to mulch vehicles, or grab two Burstcannons and the specialisation that lets you split your shots in order to gun down hordes with enough dakka to make even an Ork blush.

	Tau can do well in KT, but the big splashy toys are all gone, so you're gonna need to dust off some of those models ~~you never get out and put the riptides away~~. Markerlights are all but useless, with them only benefiting one model at a time, you'll need to -really- want that one gun to land to make any kind of ML support worth it, and even then it's probably not.

	You can take a basic team of 6 Firewarriors, 3 Stealth Suits, and 4 Pathfinders, with 12 points left, or take a Team of 6 Firewarriors, 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 Overwatch may be fun, especially with "Supporting Fire".

	Predictably, the scale-shrinking of Heralds of Ruin has radically changed how the [[Tau]] now run, as they can no longer be as reliant on their huge-ass battlesuits that can blow shit up. Rather, your options become very limited in that field, meaning that you'll have to find other means to get their firepower on the field. Of course, this means that you'll need to start hauling along the basic foot soldiers of the Empire. The loss of the Ethereals also means that you no longer have any way to bolster your men, and the lack of ~~Fierblades~~ means a lack of extra fire-support. Compensating for this means abusing cover like a bitch to avoid being splatted/cooked.

	That aside, many of the tools available to the Tau are still present, for better or worse. [[Markerlight]]s are still available in good quantities, though not quite as massive as before. The grand utility of the Crisis Suits are still incredibly useful, just a little smaller in scale. Broadsides can still total anything they witness.

			for 60 points, you get 10 infiltrating bodies for board control, all the more helpful if the terrain has forests for you to hide in. Of course, you're going to spend the extra 10 points for sniper rifles, because it's predictable wounding regardless of what your opponent brings. And while you wouldn't want to assault with them, they're at least no slouches at close combat. Pairs well with the stealth team above for a fully infiltrating kill team, and you can use the kroot to bait a charge that a burst cannon and counterfire equipped stealth suit gets to cut down. Kroot hounds won't do much for you here, but Krootox give you a multi-wound model with a board-dominating gun that still infiltrates.

	**'''Krootox Rider''': For every five Kroot (That's basic Kroot, no Hounds), you can also take a Krootox so you can have a murderous chicken-ape that has a rather vicious S7 AP4 Rapid Fire gun. They're really expensive for troops, but the support in firepower and assault makes him a worthy add to a Kroot-heavy army.		**'''Krootox Rider''': For every five Kroot (That's basic Kroot, no Hounds), you can also take a Krootox so you can have a murderous chicken-ape that has a rather vicious S7 AP4 Rapid Fire gun.

	*'''Kroot Shaman''': A surprising new add to the list, you finally get a Psyker to throw into the list. His choices limit to Prescience (For fire support), Scrier's Gaze (Skip this. The only possible use this has is the Mysterious Terrain), Forewarning (A decent save for a gang in the open), Psychic Shriek (To murder mobs), or Mental Fortitude (Free Fearless means that you'll always find a way to strike back, though locking a model in melee is a bad move). Other than that, he's pretty much a ~~Krot~~ that you can only take 0-1 of.		*'''Kroot Shaman''': A surprising new add to the list, you finally get a Psyker to throw into the list.

	*'''~~Sealth~~ Shas-Ui''': 10 points cheaper than the leader, but can only take a Fusion Blaster and the Bonding Ritual.

	*'''Vespid Stingwing''': You buzzing friends who can fire rather comfortably against the MEQ and can also become a nuisance by charging and then breaking at any time. Of course, that FC upgrade up top is a very nice grab, especially for a Stingwing army, where you're taking the bugs en masse.		*'''Vespid Stingwing''': You buzzing friends who can fire rather comfortably against the MEQ and can also become a nuisance by charging and then breaking at any time.

	*'''Broadside Shas'Ui''': The other 0-1 Hardapped choice who just happens to tote the biggest guns ever. They come only with the big rifle or missiles, so you'll have to pony up some more in order to grab the second rifle/smart missile set. Aside from that, he can also grab 0-2 drones of any kind he wants, making him the flat-out most expensive choice EVER. Use only if you're seriously needing the big firepower.		*'''Broadside Shas'Ui''': The other 0-1 Hardapped choice who just happens to tote the biggest guns ever.
