I look forward to next gaming night at my local GW store!

I like it, I want to build a simmilar army and I already have plas to build a all wraith bone army for eldar.

Time to waste large amounts of money.

But I want to wait for the book version so 3 months :(

I am not really sure what to do with the new codex. Seeing as there are some errors in it. How did you make your list already? This is what I could piece together for my list:


HQ:
Commander Farsight (Warlord)= 165 points
With 2 Bodyguards:
Crisis Bodyguard 1: Cyclic ion blaster, Plasma rifle, Stimulant injector, Shield generator, 1 Shield drone, The mirrorcodex, Seismic fibrillator node, Talisman of Arthas Moloch, Warscaper drone= 269 points
Crisis Bodyguard 2: Airbursting frag projector, Missile pod, Stimulant injector, Shield generator, 2 Shield drones= 126 points
Elites:
Riptide: Ion accelerator, Twin-linked SMS, Early warning override, Velocity tracker= 210 points
Troops:
3 Fire Knives (plasma rifle, missile pod): Shas’vre: 3 Advanced targeting systems, Bonding knife ritual, 4 Gun drones= 226 points
3 Helios (plasma rifle, fusion blaster): Shas’vre, 2 Target locks, Bonding knife ritual, 4 Gun drones= 221 points
3 Fire Storms (burst cannon, missile pod): Shas’vre: 3 Counterfire defense systems, Bonding knife ritual, 4 Gun drones= 211 points
Fast Attack:
Pathfinder Team 1: Shas’ui: 7 Pulse carbines with markerlights, 3 Ion rifles, Blacksun filter= 151 points
Pathfinder Team 2: Shas’ui: 7 Pulse carbines with markerlights, 3 Rail rifles, Blacksun filter= 166 points
Heavy Support:
3 Broadsides: Shas’vre, Twin-linked heavy rail-rifles, Twin-linked SMS, 3 Early warning overrides= 220 points
Hammerhead: Railgun, Twin-linked SMS, Submunition rounds, Longstrike, Disruption pod, Automated repair system= 190 points
Fortification:
Aegis Defense Line: Comms relay= 70 points

Total: 2225 points

It seems pretty clear to me with the ipad version. As long as the requirements of the supplement are met, you can take whatever you like.

You need: at least one crisis team being three suits, you cannot include Aun'va or Shadowsun, if a unit can take the bonding knife ritual it must take it, using the supplement sig systems in place of the codex sig systems and the warlord using either the BRB or supplement warlord traits.

So essentially the 'tax' for having crisis suit troops is having to take a three suit squad and the point cost of the bonding knife ritual on all that can take it.

Which means your list is 19 points more expensive, with the bodyguard, broadside and pathfinder bonding rituals. I also recommend the earth caste pilot array for the riptide, seing as they're allowed to take signature systems. You'll find that it's much harder for it to kill itself through both it's reactor and gets hot.

I was thinking of changing my list to all suits and drones. Get rid of the pathfinders, switch the 179 point commander, for a drone controller, stim, shield gen, random weapon (missile pod most likely) and 2 shield drone commander. Then stick him in a unit of 8 markerlight and 4 gun drone squad for those nice accurate markerlights. That means the entire list is jetpacking around!

EDIT: But also the wording on farsight's special bodyguards could be clearer, will have to wait for an update to clarify things.
