Reddemon Id say take 1 hammer head & take a sniper drone team. With the 3 controlers & their 3 drones each, itl help put down any marines that decide to get into your cross hairs. Deploy 1 on each conner of your deployment zone & the third in the middle. Keep their heads down with suppressive fire It was my impression that a mobile army was the objective. Therefore I wouldn't suggest any Sniper teams, due to their Heavy weapons.

3 pathfinder teams is a bit extreme. i would only use 2, possably add some piranha with fusion for tank hunting. heavy you should have 1 skyray, and dare i say it....2 ion heads....you have a lack of ability to take on heavily armoured troops so i would suggest suits with plasma fusion combo. i know its closer range but it can effectivly kill at least one thing a turn and even autokill multiple wound characters like....crisis suits. its my favorit combo agasint tau..lol. so my recomendation is this
do yoru HQs and such try to make your crisis teams part of your hq to take advantage of hard points and the targetting array to make your shots count. take a stealth team and 2 pathfinder teams, 1 or 2 piranha, your wariors in their fish, and even concider a few kroot as a diversion tactic squads of 10 work well for this. take 2 ionheads and a skyray and you will be set

ok new discussion!!!!!:
SMS on fish...do they make them a threat?
ive found that putting SMS on the fish have made them formidable at cutting down light troops. they can crank out 7 s5 ap5 shots and if equiped with a targetting array then about 5 of those are getting in so about 4 wounds. or since the fish looks less intimidating because people know they have weaker guns, you could just use them to race up behind tanks rear armour and take pot shots at their AV10.
plus with the SMS if you play conservativly, you can effectivly pummle your enimy from afar and from behind cover with no form of retaliation available. if can make for a pretty anoying tactic to have seveal tanks take out a squad when the enimy thought they had line of sight covered
discuss SMS tactics. and the uses of fish equiped with SMS

That is whare the Sinper drone teams would come into play

My pathfinder team already have to remain stationary to fire thier marker lights thats bad enough.

A wright thorn in my side they where for most of the game. You mean their traines? Or accutal scouts? Could be right there. He did say they where not BT but they really did look like BT. I am not sure if I have been cheated now gonk . Anyway I learned the hard way about how useful infiltration units are.

I am not one to judge about how little fire warriors you have taken. It might turn out to be a wise move to do so. Heck I might even try that one day.
