I've been thinking over things in my head and think I might have an alternative to the Farsight Bomb. This weekend (when I say weekend that's Sun-Tues due to my shifts) I'll be giving it some though and then posting up my views on how to use this unfavorable character as an alternative to a Hybrid Tau list. I get the whole "hot drop deepstrike and nuke" idea but I'm thinking more and more in my head about how to use the army as a variation of the Missile Pod spam list I've written up previously, using Target Locks to make the most out of split fire from large units.
I know it's an army that has limited choices, and granted there is no Kroot but it's based on "units" not models. A Piranha squad can be 5 models. A Broadside Squad can be 3. Gun Drones and Sniper Teams are not 0-1. I accept Tau gunline armies are shit (in 5th Ed )and I'm not trying to build one, but with a bit of though I reckon a Farsight army could be a fairly mobile gunline/missile line. - Throw in the right back up with Plasma or Burst Cannons and you could have a fun army that when learned inside out will give plenty of things out there a run for their money.

Just be sure to give your broadsides Target locks and things are good to go. The lack of Kroot and multiple Piranha Squads makes a Farsight list difficult to run but you can do it. good luck.
With a non-Farsight bomb I strongly suggest the following load out:
1) Plasma Rifle
2) Fusion Blaster
3) Multitracker
As body guards you can take HW Drone Controllers and then load out with 2 Gun Drones of the ablative wounds.
14 Meq killing shots, 14 TL Pulse Carbine pinning shots, very little will be moving when your done firing
Sweet idea, but i'm thinking outside the box with this one. Less fusion for the bodyguards and more missile pods.
