Firebase Support Cadre

So with GW Digitals Advent Calendar of Releases today's was a Firebase Support Cadre.  It follows Inquisition's Ally Rules, so it functions as a free Detachment that does not count against your Allies.  It also gives the required 6 Broadsides and Riptide Tank Hunters and Preferred Enemy Space Marines.

The biggest benefit for this of course goes to Tau, units they would be taking anyways now do not use up force org slots(so technically the Broadsides would not score in Big Gunz,  nor would they give up VPs in that mission), but gaining Preferred Enemy Marines and Tank Hunters for free(well 3.99 USD).  This is a no brainer for them.  Both of these make the Heavy Burst Cannon more attractive, Being able to reroll pen rolls means a better chance of getting a rend so it makes AV13-14 easier to deal with, and if against Space Marines it lets them reroll 1's to avoid the Gets Hot rolls and put more wounds on infantry.

Eldar and Space Marines who can Battle Brother Ally with Tau and are themselves Battle Brothers Essentially can get a free ally with the Broadsides and Riptides.  I imagine a Double Riptide, Double Wraithknight list will be Fairly Popular now.  I probably will cover more stuff soon hopefully.
