2000 point army

Hello, I'm extremely new to 40K. I adore the lore but never had the chance to actually play or collect models, but now I actually have the time, determination and funds to acquire some beautiful Tau miniatures.

I've been trying to draft a battle-suit army to the best of my ability using minis I think look awesome (rule of cool) and that could decently function in a real game too. With the help of google and TollForge I've made 1950 point army. I wanted to post it here in hopes you could point out any flaws or improvements that could be made, or even draft me a full army all together.

P.S I don't intend to buy all the miniatures at once as I don't want to end up with a gray pile of shame

But without further ado:
