Tau list ideas

Here is the first concept I came up with for my Tau. Please note this is 2500 points because this was the point level I most commonly played at in the past (little over a year ago).

HQ.
Dark Strider    100 points
Cadre Fireblade  84 points
2x gun drones

Elite
3x crisis suits    162 points
3x twin linked fusion blaster
3x bonding  knife
3 advanced targeting system
2x shield drones


3x crisis suits   174 points
3x twin linked missile pod
3x bonding knife
3x plasma rifle


3x crisis suits   174 points
3x twin  linked missile pod
3x bonding knife
3x plasma rifle

Troops
12x fire warriors   154 points
12x bonding knife
2x gun drones
Shasui


12x fire warriors   154 points
12x bonding knife
2x gun drones
Shasui


12x fire warriors   154 points
12x bonding knife
2x gun drones
Shasui

10x kroot              70 points
10x sniper rounds

10x kroot         70 points
10x sniper rounds

Fast attack

10x pathfinders   200 points
10x bonding knife
2x gun drones
3x ion rifles
shasui
pulse drone
blacksun filter


10x pathfinders   200 points
10x bonding knife
2x gun drones
3x ion rifles
shasui
pulse drone
blacksun filter


10x pathfinders   200 points
10x bonding knife
2x gun drones
3x ion rifles
shasui
pulse drone
blacksun filter

Heavy Support
2x marksmen     159 points
9x sniper drones

2x broadsides (railgun) 236 points
2x bonding knifes
2x seeker missile
2x shield drone
2x missile drone
2x velocity tracker




2x broadsides (high yield missile pod) 206 points
2x bonding knifes
2x seeker missile
2x shield drone
2x missile drone
2x early warning override

So here is the idea behind the list infiltrate and cause as much trouble as they can hopefully near objectives. Missile/plasma suits rush up to support and hit light vehicles/infantry as much as possible. Melta suits try and tank/walker/infantry hunt. Darkstrider joins 1 of the pathfinder squads a bit forward while others go for flanks. Cadre fireblade goes with a fire warrior squad up near the pathfinder squad. Other pathfinders go for flanks of that formation. Broadsides will be in support and raise whatever havoc they can. Other fire warriors will also support. While sniper team kills whatever it can.

Changes:
I am thinking of trimming points from crisis suits/firewarriors and few other places to squeeze in two devilfish for two smaller fire warrior units. That way I can do some more support/objective grabbing.


So what do you think. I mainly face a lot of marines and most admit I have never played a game in 6th so not sure how this list will work out.
