Hey Shawn,
here's a studio army list modified from a Tau Army list I've been
bouncing around that I've found to be enjoyable to play with. The Tau
Commander supports the army by firing first, letting the Drones tag the
primary target with his high BS, allowing the Pathfinders to shoot next
making their Markerlights at BS5, allowing multiple elements of the army
to followup. The Fire Warriors in Devilfishes would remain quite safe
constantly moving, while their disembark movements would allow multiple
uses of Fish of Fury, given their extended range of 18" vs 12" rapid
fire. Also the amount of Fusion in the army would be handy for any
dangerous threats, and the Riptides would hunt nuisances like the
Heldrake and Vendettas. Overall I find it to be quite fun and balanced,
but still capable to be beaten by a normal list.

The
suggested colour scheme for this army, I had them down as based on a
water world of sinking buildings and tiny islands, so deep blues and sea
greens (you could almost say teal :P) with a orange accent for the sept
markings.
This list allows for a lot of infiltration and advanced deployment of your army to give a good deal of tactical flexibility,
you can be up close straight away and still have two large monstrous creatures for your opponent to worry about running
and gunning up the field!
Would be cool to know what you think
Love all your stuff can't wait to see a batrep with the new tau and eldar!
all the best,

Certainly
As far as deployment the units break down like this
Shadowsun with the xv8 team to give them stealth and shrouded they can then infiltrate close to any armour you need taking out!
The commander with the stealthsuits to give him stealth and shrouded and they have the option to infiltrate close to any infantry you need to target and his MSSS will let that unit have the ignores cover rule for shooting and can provide effective marker lights!
Fire warriors in devilfish serve as mobile scoring units to grab objectives, the sniper kroot can infiltrate to prioritise any characters or monstrous creatures! The remaining kroot outflank.
The riptide provides counters to reserve fliers with the interceptor and skyfire rules while the skyray gives solid anti-air.
On the eldar side the rangers can sit on an objective with improved cover saves for some resilience, the autarch can run 48 inches a turn an be all over the board re rolling cover saves and denying objectives an hunting tanks! And the wraithlord is there to give you another tough relentless monstrous creature to deal with. The idea behind this army is that you can be all over the board at once or surround you opponent whislt being prepared for anything from reserves, it gives heavy fire power and mobility to capture objectives!
I have played against imperial guard which was a challenge with not a huge amount of shots but the kroot are good against infantry with snipers rending, against black templars and other space marines it proved to be very effective with better mobility and concentrating fire power. It gave my opponents a lot to think about and I feel it really is a list where you cant ignore anything! I hope that helps and look forward to see which list you pick for each category!
