Sounds good.

Suggestion:
Can be bought either as regular or as bonded, eg. having performed the
bonding ritual. In that case, their break point is 75% instead of 50% and
the victory points are increased by +2.

These are a problem... how can they infiltrate with an APC???

 
[snipped battlesuit stats]

Suggestion:
Due to improved sensors Tau Battlesuits can fire at Lictors, Eldar scouts,
Ratling snipers etc. even if they are further than 25cm away, if on first
fire orders.

I would suggest these be bought as support cards with a detachment size of
4.

Gun Drones:
MV: 15cm AS: 0 CAF: 0 WPN: Pulse carbine RANGE: 35cm NUMBER OF
ATTACKS: 2 TO HIT: 5+ AS: 0 Morale: 3
Skimmer.

Shield drones:
MV: 15cm AS: 6+ CAF: 0 WPN: none RANGE: - NUMBER OF
ATTACKS: - TO HIT:- AS: 0 Morale: 3
Skimmer.
SPECIAL RULES:
Shield drones combine shield generators with sophisticated elecromagnetic
jamming equipment. All direct fire attacks against a Tau detachment with
shield drones must be allocated against the drones first. Only after the
drones have been destroyed can the detachment itself be attacked.
