i think u got a real winner here. you will use primarily the same tactics, however, instead of needing 4s, you will only need 2s on turn 2. this is vital against tau. an army that hits ridiculously hard and fast. i was able to up your scorp squads, and even managed to fit in a small fire dragon squad with a falcon. the two autarchs can either be attached to the two swooping hawk squads or go in on their own, and drop their own haywire grenades. either way you look at it, i just took most of the luck aspect out of the way. now, i am not totally sure that this list WILL WORK AS INTENDED, but i think that it will provide more of the things that you were looking for, while still keeping most of your core list, if not adding to it. let me know what you think.
