Of all Tau units, Shadowsun sticks out to me. She's barely used on any list - especially a "competitive" list and it's fairly obvious why: she has an effective 18" strike range with her two guns but her stealth field generator really only protects up to about 21," and she cannot join another unit as an IC nor can you (reasonably) have an IC such as an Etherial or monot Crisis Commander join her unit because then the commander becomes visible to the free world.
So then... is she any good? I think she is. In fact my last few games she's proved to be a very critical portion of my army. Over the next few weeks I hope (hope) to post a few articles writing about her, her abilities, and where the Pin Up Girl of the Third Sphere fits in with our armies.
Tau'va!
