I have no clue about this idea but with lots of scary TMCs coming in the new codex and them for the most part having only 3+ saves, I was thinking this might be effective against them while still being good against a variety of other mechanized armies.

Pros:
Turn 1 is approximately 9 seeker missiles, 2 railguns, 14 Missile pod shots with turn 2 having fusion blasters tossed into that same mix.
Very mobile except for pathfinders
Layered cover from kroot bubble wrap to dropped off gun drones from the Piranhas
Still has MEQ/TEQ killing potential
Good anti-horde with submunitions and AFP

Cons:
Lots of KP
Lots of upgrades in liu of more models
Small vulnerable troops

Help?? I'm not sure if the skyray is completely legal but I just made it out of memory and the list had 10ish points left over to make sure it is legal.

That's a lot of seeker missile spam!

I'm not a fan of one-shots, but I never fielded that many seekers. For your alpha-strike theme though, it could work. However, I think the points are better spent on more suits.

I'd drop some of the upgrades on your Sky-Ray and just get Flechette's for your heavies or heck, add some seekers to your DFs!

Well since it seems your trying to run as many marklights/seeker missiles as possible...

i'd consider this, how many Fish do you need? then run minimum pathfinder squads to cut back on points..

use spare points to throw in marker drones since you need marklights on as many targets as possible...
