How to make a Kroot list working with Recon ?

Everything is in the title.

I'm building my T'au list up to 2000pts. I really like playing Recon, I used to play it with RetCad+ACC but since the last data slate upate, can't anymore.

Had a look at Kauyon, but did get excited, so decided to give KHP a go in a 500 and 1K games, and I really liked the play style !

Since I already had the Kroot combat patrol, I figured out it would be a good starting point.
I also own Farsight RetCad box, the Twin Lance, a Farstlaker and Vespids KT boxes and the T'au combat patrol.

Since Recon needs movement, speed and actions shenenigans, here's my proposed list

Kroot Flesh Shaper with Borthrod Gland + Kroot War Shaper + 20 Kroot Carnivores (250 pts)
Commander in Coldstar Battlesuit - Warlord + 3 Crisis Sunforge Battlesuits (220 pts)
Ethereal + 10 Strike Team (120 pts)
The Twin Lance (220 pts)
Kroot Lone-spear with Kroothawk Flock (90 pts)
12 Kroot Farstalkers (75 pts)
10 Pathfinder Team (85 pts)
5 Stealth Battlesuits (100 pts)
2x5 Vespid Stingwings (140 pts)
6 Krootox Rampagers (170 pts)
3 Krootox Rampagers (85 pts)
2 + 1 Krootox Riders (90 pts)
Broadside Battlesuits (75 pts)
3 Crisis Starscythe Battlesuits (90 pts)
Riptide Battlesuit (190 pts)

I'm not so sure about the Burstscythe since they would be without leader, maybe I could have only 1 unit of vespids, remove 1 Krootox Rider and have an Enforcer dakka commander
I don't want to bring Farsight, since I really need the CP gen from the Etheral, and I found out KHP is really CP hungry.

What do you think, am I missing anything ?

when di your farstalkers bounty hunters ability came up ?

It's all in the title, either playing KHP or in any other settings, when did this ability ever make a difference ?

From all the different games I've played, it only served as a "psychological threat" towards my opponent, who was playing their bounty target more defensive, but I never really got the chance to activate these LETHAL and PRECISION

What's your experience ?
How do you decide which target to desigante as BOUNTY HUNTER one ?
Is this ability part of your gameplay (pairing it with Lone spear rerolls ? )

Scout moves ? All at once or alternating ?

Hey there !
Had a question coming up yesterday during my 2nd game of 11th about scout moves.

Both my opponent and I had scouting units.
The questions were :
- Who starts moving their scout unit(s) ? Attaquer/Defender ? Person who got 1st turn ?
- Do we alternate our scouting moves like during deployment phase ?
- Or is it a kind of Special Mouvement, so we move all our scouting units at once and the opponent does the same then?

I could not find anything searching the rules (the booklet and the app were of no use)

Since it's a pre-battle ability, and Battle has not yet started (and thus Turn 1 neither, no no player has started their turn), I would tend to lean toward moving our scouting units alternating, starting by the defender, same as during deployment phase ... but is it ?

Any help appreciated, esp pointing at any official gw statment, if it exist

A good T'au + Aux list to play the Lore ?

Hey Everyone,
I'm building a list centred around the Lore, I really want to play the Lore, i.e a mixed army of T'au and auxiliaries

So my army is almost half-half.
- Tau combat patrol (with devilfish and pathfinder, breacher and commander) + Darkstrider
- Kroot combat patrol (Lone Spear, 3x Rampagers, Rider, Farstalkers
- Kroot Carnivores + Shaper
- Vespid Kill team box
- Farsight retaliation box (1 Riptide, 1 Broadside, Farsight)
[Edit] I forgot to mention I also got the Twin lance 😉!

Thinking about getting soon:
- 1 unit 5X stealth suits (because rerolls, baby, rerolls !)
- 1 unit of Strarcythe to join farsight, (Fire-overwatching with Farsight for free ?)

I'm struggling to pick detachments, I'm really not into Mont'ka, more leaning towards Retaliation Cadre, but don't know if there would be a way to
I'm playing casual, no intend to go competitive, but still wanna win at my LGS or against friends

What force disposition / detachment would you recommend to have such a Lore list as efficient as possible ? Any model you'd recommend to add ?

(I'm not into triple-x or triple-y ... I'm more interested in a variety of models as I haven't reached 2000pts and am very keen on painting different minis)
