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.
------> He, he, I was waiting for this. I think it might be difficult to
make it work in the game enviroment. But nontheless a sound idea from a Tau
perspective, what would the cost increase be?

These are a problem... how can they infiltrate with an APC???
----> I know, however, their action radius would be the same as for the
Tyranid Gargoyles.
alternately they could be allowed their regular move (20cm) instead of full
charge before the first movement phase. If it is the consept of infiltrating
vehicles that is the problem, I guess hiding behind phrase; "The TAU is
something entierly new and alien therefore it is possible to do this" is my
best answer.
[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.
--------------> Problem is minis, how about the following, they are bought
as upgrades to the regular Tau fire warrior detachment(only).
Gun Drones: 100 points (counts as a detachment card) This gives you 1 extra
shot per stand in the detachment (Same stats as the regular attack)
Shield Drones: 100 points (counts as a detachment card) Gives each stand in
the detachment an extra save (unmodifiable) of 5+ to resist damage from
ranged attacks (Not Close Combat). Just like a medic.

Sounds good.
