There are two armies I'm considering right now. One is a full airdrop army, the other is a more balanced force.

The Drop list is easier to assemble right now (all the ground stuff will turn up in Wave 4, and I've got the air stuff en route) and should be interesting to play, though the Combined Arms list is probably better in most cases.

I see your first miniatures painted, these are just lovely. But, to be true, i think that your lists, although efficient and interesting on their own, are a bit boring to paint. And more important, don´t truly represent what is the empire Tau for me.
I mean, if i want to play my list, any advice in using these units coordinately?Any tip? Any unit in unit out? I know that probably is not the more efficient list in the world
, but in my club nobody play toplist or "tournament mode", we collect and paint just for the joy of do it. And i have in mind a air assault grey knigth list, so this playstile niche is already taken.I planning using them as a defensive and elusive force with the mechanised formations and the orca as a treat for the final turns in their side objectives, using the kroots as meat shields for my crisis and firecastes, Is feasible to do so?
