GT_Popogeejo the reason it's Str 3 is to stop it being anti tank.It's a troop killer and a mighty effctive one against IG,Orks and 'Nids. In case you hadn't noticed, Tau are already incredibly effective vs. IG, Orks, and Nids, what with the plethora of S5 AP5 guns we have. If the CAB turns out to be S4 or AP4 and at least 24" range, It'll definately have a place in my list, but as is, it's more of a curiosity than anything else.

you do realise the vespid are assault guns so if you shot someone and get charge afterwards youve done something wrong, you should be kicking out 5 shoots, killing acouple and then charging the survivors on the same turn.
and fire warrior guns may be AP5 but the are more anti APC and high T units than the hordes gaurd/nid/ork army other than submunition this is there first anti horder weapon

When the new codex comes guys what will be your army list. At the moment I really can't decide. By the looks of it The Tau army is going to be a little more spoilt for choice. At first my fast attack choice was simple. A squad of Drones and two Pathfinder units(One with carbines and the other with Rail Rifles). Now we have four really decent units compteting for three spots.

I am wondering if they are going to allow a mix of weapons in the unit. Cause I would have four with burst cannons and one with a fusion blaster. I might use the Stingwings now and then. But It is doubtfull that I will use them in my main army list. Cause The Pirannah's, Drones and Pathfinders seem a bit more usefull. I might see if I can use the Stingwings to hold up a Tyranid monsterus creature for a turn or two.

I might do that aswell and have a unit of both. That way they will be able to deal with both infantry or Vehicles, Monsterus Creatures or HQs.

The Cyclonic Ion Blaster is AP5, with 5 shots.
Pirahnnas can get fusion blasters for an extra point cost.
I'm going to be selling all of the stuff i have now, and i'll be purchasing the boxed army, so i'll have an ethereal, commander, crisis, stealth, FW, kroot, stingwings, hammerhead, a sniper team, and a broadside i'm keeping. The additions i'll make will probably be more stealth, another broadside, and maybe some more snipers.
