Hard points for stealth suits was pretty good.

And I love the command control relay node.

Cheaper Ion Cannon is a good thing too.

CIB/Plasma Shas`el combo.
Oh, and the improved gundrones (leadership issues fixed up a bit)... Sniperdrones aren`t bad either.

Everything in the Tau codex works symmetrically. Unlike some armies, there's no real tooled up unit or vehicle that can demolish enemies.

That said, I really like the Pirhana for it's quarter-grabbing capacity in Cleanse games, and the Skyray as a mobile markerlight platform.

Best unit: Sniper drones, they give you a huge amount of ap3, along with some bs4 markerlights.....

Best equipment/ability: Hard points on the Stealth suits, which are then filled with Targeting Arrays....MMMM...Infiltrating BS4 burst cannons....plus any ML support... make that BS5.....

Oh yes, I totally forgot, the new markerlight rules were the best change of all.

Best New Ability: Markerlights. They're just so useful now. The hardpoint upgrade of Stealth Suits is a close second, though.

Best New Unit: Sniper Drones. They're great, a nuisance to get rid of, and come with a Markerlight.

Best New Equipment: Cyclic Ion Blaster. It just hurts things.

Mind you, these are all my opinions...

Learn to shorten your reach! If your foe can come close enough to negate your striking power, all stratagem is lost, and when all stratagem is lost, the battle is lost.

Tell me now, is there a man among you here, is there no one who will stand up and try to fight? Tell me man, is there not one in all your ranks, is there no one who values courage over life?

New ability: markerlights more usefull and better overall
New Unit: The piranhas for the jeting and fusioning
New Equipment: The CIB or Gatling Stobe Light of Doom GSLoD.
New Price: The Ion cannon is cheaper which is great and also as a side note the flamer is cheaper too which can be a cheap weapon to fill the third hard ponit on Death rains.
