Hey all,

My FLGS is starting a Highlander league this week and I was hoping to get some comments/criticism on the list I'm thinking of taking:

[HQ]
+ Commander Shadowsun
+ Cadre Fireblade
+ Crisis Bodyguard: 3x suits; 2 w/ double fusion and target lock, one with "buff-mander" gear.

[Elites]
+ Riptide: Ion Accelerator and TwL Fusion, Stim Injectors, EWO

[Troops]
+ 9x Fire Warriors
+ 10x Kroot with Sniper Rounds

[Fast Attack]
+ 2x Tetras

[Heavy Support]
+ Hammerhead: Ion Cannon, Disruption Pod, Longstrike
+ Skyray Gunship: Disruption Pod, Blacksun Filter
+ Broadsides: 3x Broadsides with EWO and 5x Missile Drones

1500pts on the nose.

Thanks!

What's your proposed tactic with this list? I wonder if you're sacrificing too much with the buffsuit, particularly since you're already paying a premium for the bodyguard unit as a whole.
