Combines my a lot of my fave guard units with my fave Tau bits.

Looks horrible (in a good way for you),

Who is this guy? Techpriest and what does he do? Repair vechicles?

Yeah, cheapest HQ choice to be honest, which was all was looking for.
But he will be sat behind the Manitcore or Hammerhead and fixing shizzle hopefully.

I am tempted to play with the drones as don't think i'll need 6 markerlights with this list and go 6 gun drones or mix of gun and shield drones

I thought Engiseers didn't take up an HQ spot? ( i might be wrong on this) who's your HQ for your guard side?

Eniginseer in the Guard codex is a HQ choice

Sorry Vince, I knew i'd read it somewhere.

Q: Can Ministorum Priests or Techpriest Enginseers be taken as the
mandatory HQ choice? (p93)
A: No. You will need to take another model to be your
Warlord.

The same would apply for allies i assume.

Lol, Not phrased very well......
Won't matter too much as can switch him out for company command squad for 5 more points

As BaalDave learned last night i've made my change to my league list and gone back to what i know best. i sent this through to Rob before tuesday but now i've unveiled it here it is:

HQ
Azrael 215
Troops
10 x tactical Marine – Plasma Cannon, flamer - 160
6 x Deathwing terminators – TH/SS, cyclone missile - 294
6 x Deathwing terminators – TH/SS, Assault cannon - 289
6 x Ravenwing 2 melta guns - 181
Heavy Support
Contemptor Dreadnought – 2 twinlinked lascannons, Cyclone Missile Launcher - 220
Contemptor Dreadnought – 2 kheres assault cannon, Cyclone Missile Launcher, drop pod, searchlight - 251
Fast attack
2 Hyperios - 70
2 Hyperios - 70

Fortifications
Aegis with quad gun - 100
Total – 1850

I love Azrael, he is really good at chopping things up and transforms a bog standard tac squad into something very durable.

and being able to pick the Warlord trait which grants FnP to him and his squad if you're near an objective is very nice. A 3+/4++/5++ on a tac squad makes them tough to shift.

and BS5 on the Quad gun is fun too!
