That is a pretty cheap vehicle for all it can do. 150
points of cheese. A thunderhawk cost almost as much
and it just drops guys off. The Imperial Superheavies
move 10cm cost more and have about the same fire power
(some a bit more) and better armor. The only weakness
is that it can be subdued by a squad or two of
thrusters or some AA fire. I would up the cost to 250
pts other wise rename it the Kraft Bomber.
Don't get me wrong all for new units but it is always
better to overprice because it is easier to work down.
Look at GZG Kra'Vak as Tau troopers for line infantry.
The CNC models are nice but you can find them as
plastics for a fraction of the price in the old
Renegade Legions cohort sets.

Tau Tiger Shark AX-1-0 Bomber
When first faced with Imperial Titans and Super Heavy
tanks on Taros, theTau realised they did not have
enough Mantas to face the numbers theImperium could
throw at them. The first counter they developed wasto
modify the Tiger Shark bomber to carry heavier guns.
Out camethe Drone bay and Ion Cannons to be replaced
with a pair of Rail Cannonsand extra missiles. Its
speed and firepower allowed it to hit itstargets hard
and then withdraw out of range before the enemy had
time toretaliate. The design was so effective it has
been retained by theTau as a standard design.
