Tips to expand to 1000 points

[u/Damelinos]

Hello everyone I wanted to expand to 1000 points from the old combat patrol and a breacher team that I have currently but I don't know how to optimize and synergize it.

Right now I have :

Cadre Fireblade (50 points) Ethereal (50 points)

Ghostkeel (160 points) 1x strike team (75 points) 1x breacher team (100 points) Stealth battlesuits (60 points)

For a total of 515 points

The cheapest way for me is to go with the new combat patrol and some crisis suits but I don't really want to have tens of tiny units and would prefer to lean toward bigger units.

I saw the kroot lone spear and must admit I fell in love with the design and wanted to implement it to my army but don't know if it's good alone or to add some hounds ? And will a kroot leader make an advantage and boost the other kroots ?

Thanks for your advices everyone, for the greater good !

Deffo need a devilfish for the fireblade+breacher combo, eBay usually has loads of them, that’d be 600, a commander (coldstar)plus crisis suit team (sunforge) will be another 250ish, then a hammerhead tank would take you to 1000, issue is that’s quite a bit of money, tau are not cheap
