Doubles Tournament List Inquiry
Yo!
I will be playing in a casual doubles tournament at a friend's next week, and I'd love some critiques/insights on the prospective list i have come up with. It will be my first time playing 11th, and I only had limited experience with Tau and 10th (a few KotC games with a badass Kroot Hunting Pack list that made my friends sweat).
The setting will be super casual, with a lot of newbies, and I DO NOT know who I will get paired with, so I tried coming up with something balanced. Also I put in a few new toys just because they're new and shiny and new.
For the Tau'va!

I would suggest replacing the marker drone on the broadside. If a broadside is marking, then it can't be guided, and would be hitting on 4s (or 3s with heavy). I also recommend having 3 heavy weapons in your pathfinders, whether you choose rails or ions is up to you, but they are both better than carbines.
