I've posted my 1875pt list that I'm working towards and have decided to write up 500pt, 750pt, 1000pt, 1250pt and 1500pt lists using the models I'm looking to buy for the 1875pt list.
I've attempted this so that I can buy my models in a particular order and get back into the gaming asap and get to know the rules and tactics better for when I can use the 1875pt list
Strike Team - 5x Fire Warriors, DS8, SMS. 55pts
Strike Team - 5x Fire Warriors, DS8, SMS. 55pts
Breacher Team - 9x Fire Warriors inc Shas'ui, Guardian Drone. 103pts
Pathfinder Team - 4x Pathfinders. 44pts
Pathfinder Team - 4x Pathfinders. 44pts
Crisis Team - 2x Shas'ui, 2x Missile Pod. 104pts
Crisis Team - 1x Shas'ui, 2x Fusion Blaster. 52pts
Riptide - Ion Accelerator, T-L Plasma Rifle, EWO, ATS. 193pts
Broadside - T-L HYMP, T-L SMS, EWO. 70pts
Optimised Stealth Cadre
Stealth Team - 3x Shas'ui, Fusion Blaster, TL. 100pts
Stealth Team - 3x Shas'ui, Fusion Blaster, TL. 100pts
Ghostkeel - Cyclic Ion Raker, T-L Fusion Blaster, EWO, VT. 165pts
Stealth Team - 3x Shas'ui, Fusion Blaster, TL. 100pts
Stealth Team - 3x Shas'ui, Fusion Blaster, TL. 100pts
Ghostkeel Team - 3x Shas'vre, 3x Cyclic Ion Raker, 3x T-L Fusion Blaster, 3x EWO, 2x TL, 1x VT. 465pts
Total - 1875pts
As said, The 1875pt is what I'm working towards. I understand I could probably do better on some of the lower point lists but these are the models I am buying atm.
Constructive criticism welcome, I am a returning player to 40k and still learning 7th
My local club have said that the commander can share buffs to units using CF but models split firing from those units will not receive the buff (Hunter Contingent lists only)
When I asked about the meta I was told it varies a lot so these lists are based on "take on all comers" (hopefully)
I need to analyze things further.. but atleast in your 500-1000 they look decent. One thing I would suggest since your buying models incrementally.
Maybe swap your riptide for a unit of crisis suits @500. That way your commander can join a unit and be more survivable.
Then in your 750 I would either.. get more firewarriors instead of either the riptide or a crisis team.. This will let you run the Hunter Cadre instead of a CAD if you chose.
Then @1000 you can fill in the units you do not have at this point in the game.
Thats all I have for now
Automatically Appended Next Post: One quick note as well.. No reason ever to run Crisis 'vre unless you need sig systems.. or I suppose you simply have nothing else to put points into.

I'm looking at the 1875 list but much of what I say can be applied at lower points.
Hunter Contingent is a very strong tool if you maximise it. At the moment you're not quite doing that. You have the buffmander which is great. The OSC is perfectly equipped. Going minimal on FWs but using the DS8 is great. Crisis team with MPs is a great kiting bodyguard for the Commander. Stormsurge is a power house. Riptide is useable again with CF.
However the Broadside doesn't really bring a whole lot to this list and Pathfinders are about the worst ML source available. The Drone Net can be brilliant as then you get intercepting MLs all at Bs3. Though I'm not sure you have the points for it. Marker Drones and swapping the Broadside for a Sniper Drone team gets you Bs5 mobile markerlights at a very cheap cost (though no interceptor on them). That should free up enough points to give the Riptide a target lick and Missile Drone so he can contribute to coordinated firepower without being stuck firing at the same target. As you're already pumping a Ghostkeel, 2 Crisissuits and atleast 1 Stormsurge weapon into that unit. Then you have a Bs5 twinlinked ignoring cover Riptide before markerlights get invovled which should annihilate another unit of your choice.
This would just up your efficiency in an otherwise solid list.
The local club I will be attending has allowed the buffmander to share buffs through CF but anyone using a target lock will not receive the buffs
I haven't been yet to ask if they let models split fire from the Buffmanders unit and still receive buffs before the new formations, so going to have to wait till I go and find out
I was concerned about the pathfinders, I don't have the the rules for the drone network formation but sounds good with +1 BS and interceptor...... Is this just in the new mont'ka? Or can I get the formations somewhere else?
The broadside I already own so trying to incorporate it into the lists to get use out of it. At least in the lower point lists anyway. Should be able to drop it in higher point games until I start experimenting with some of the other formations once I've expanded my collection
Well the rule does allow models splitting off firepower to still take part in CF. So why the need to ask? Do you need to ask if the Pulse Driver is S10 or if MLs can boost snap shots?
