This gives me a nice, meched up list with some decent hitters. Lots of AP3 firepower, good number of markerlights from the Tetras. Bikes for late game shennanigans. Firestorm and Nightwing to counter flyers. Jetseer for support and psyker defense.

Thoughts?

I personally never take more than 2 guns on any suit, unless it is twin linked MP's then maybe a flamer for the third hardpoint.

I would toss your fusion blasters on any suit that has three guns, except the second team lead(lose his flamer). Get a target array in those hard points.

You might want to get a broadside team instead of a third hammerhead. The plasma cannons are great against infantry, but they cant deal with heavy armor.

Buy another 20 point power for the seer if you can.

Fusion is more efficient than Broadsides, especially when Deep Striking to nail rear armor... and guided by Tetras. TAs on suits aren't really needed when you've got 8 markerlights coming from the Tetras - I'll have BS4/5 when I need it where I need it.

Thought about trimming points to get another power, but I just don't see where to get them from. I can drop a Fusion, sure, but I'm pretty hesitant to do so. Not sure that another psyker roll is worth it.

Bump - any additional thoughts?

spicy

ummm, aren't you lacking anything in the combat side? i know with tau the idea is that your not meant to get there, but some deep striked combat guys would just tear up your army no?
