What size is the army going to be (point-wise)???

And honestly, it's looking a little weak right now, even if you add in Devilfish and Kroot.

Tau's one of more advantageous point is Crisis Battlesuits (in my opinion)

Anyways, you're army is legal as long as you have at least 1 HQ and 2 Troop choices.

Of course, not knowing what Tau codex contains, I have no idea what Tau commander's basic equiment starts out as...

And I wouldn't invest too much points on pirahnia, as they're AV what, 10 or 11? 95pt wasted in single turn by a Space Marine Combat Squad. Not the most ideal situation to have in small point game.

Ideally you want to keep your troops as cheap as possible and most other things as well. I'll agree that the loaded up Piranha is a waste of points, buy an basic one and load it with a seeker missile if you want to get the best out of it.

You'll probably want one or two units of Kroot for capturing objectives or add a Devilfish for a unit of Firewarriors, you can move up one turn and Fish of Fury them the next. 10 Rapid firing Fire warriors should remove most things off an objective in one turn of half decent shooting.

Rock makes a good point about the Crisis suits too, a single Broadside isn't going to do too well, you'd be better off getting a Hammerhead. Grab a couple of single Crisis suits and then deploy them with each other for mutual support but a unit has to waste firepower only shooting one (ok it's an extra killpoint but they should be hopping in and out of cover to shoot anyways).

There are plenty of resources out there on the internet too but you'd be better off posting a full 1000 or 1500 pts list (if that's what you're aiming for) rather than having part of a list and waiting to see what we think. Post the whole thing and we can look at things more objectively.
