Hi I am looking for some advice for my first 1500 pts. list vs. Orks.

Advice on wha t to bring, troops, equipment and tactics as well would be appreciated. I deliberately shy away from escalation, fortifications, allies and formations. My thoughts behind what I field: Creating a firebase that potentially can be split in two if necessary, the Kroot is here to be a stopping block to delay Orks in charging my firewarriors and br oadsides. I put in Hounds as they have two attacks at high Initiative and may ge t a few hits in before being taken down. I have shapers for the unavoidable lead ership tests. The Crisis suits are here to outflank and harass the orks and attack any AV14 ta rgets. The rest of the army could be described as two parts. 1 kroot and hounds unit to bubble a fire warriors squad and 3 broadsides. Another kroot and hound u nit to bubble two broadsides and a Riptide. Plan is to deploy as far ahead as I can with the Kroot and the rest a little beh ind. As I said maybe split in two parts in case the scenery demands it. Other thoughts: Riptide can take down fliers and AV14. The Broadsides will be the main fist of t he army with so many shots they should be able to hurt large groups of Orks. The 3 Crisis will be lead by commander with Onager and Iridium suit to be able to w ithstand an assault if lucky. They all have thrusters to hit and run. 1500 Pts - Codex: Tau Empire Roster Total Roster Cost: 1499 Troops: . . . . . . . . . . . . Troops: . . . . . . . . . . . .
