Target lock for leader of crisis suit team, so he can attack 1 person while other 2 attack someone else

18 points left

EMP grenades and photon grenades for your firewarriors

These are probably a item you should not overlook
Photon means no charge attacks against your unit, and emp grenades in close combat againt vehicle glance on a 4 and pen on a 5 or 6

These can make taking down vehicles quite easy.

Also I know tau are bad at close combat but they can win with luck so getting rid of extra attacks on you is amazingly helpful.

I'd like to know how this list works out for you. I've never had luck making an O'Shovan list under 2K. I'm probably just using too many XV8s, what can I say the look on an opponent's face when you pull out 20 of them is just too good to pass up.
