Lets enjoy the game

Recently, i have been trying to optimise lists to crush certain armies that i face, or to get the most powerful combos. Unfluffy units such as a commander with command node and multi spectrum suite AND puretide chip with some dark reapers. Why would the commander be with the dark reapers, and why would they benefit from his wargear? So, as of now, i am going back to playing warhammer like when i started. Saying, oh thats cool lets get that, and adding it to my list. I still want my lists to be good, but realistic, and fun. I will use powerful units such as the Riptide, but not spam it. I want to enjoy the game more, lose more, so when i win, it is far more rewarding. I want my lists to have more flavour. So, to meet all the requirements above, this is the list i am building at the moment:

Ethereal

x11 fire warriors

x12 firewarriors

x2 devilfishes
distruption pods

x18 kroot
sniper rounds

x2:
x5 pathfinders

Riptide
ion accel.
early warning overide

x2:
hammerhead
submunition
d. pod
black sun filter
smart missile system
one has long strike

farseer (kroot shaman)
jet bike (terradon)
mantle of the laughing god

x2:
x3 jetbikes (terradons)
shuriken cannon

1497

I believe this is fluffy yet effective. Its mobile, doesn't spam, and use auxillaries (some of the pathfinders are also modeled to be kroot). The story is on the particular world my Tau force is fighting on, Terradon, there are alot of kroot. Many have evolved to become slightly smaller then the norm, with the benefit of being able to ride Terradons, of which there are thousands of and which the planet is named after. A small tribe of kroot under the command of a powerful kroot shaman has joined with the Tau forces in the jungles of Terradon to fight of the Imperial menace. The shaman rides alone, on a powerful steed, watching over his allies and protecting them with his psychic ability. So basically the farseer will follow the dfishes and guide and prescience the firewarriors, who will ALSO be buffed by the ethereal. The kroot will infiltrate, and draw the enemy in while sniping stuff.

Thoughts?

Until then.
