Spend more money, get more crisis suits. Strip the HQ of it's bodyguards and all that other stuff, and field 3 units of 3 suits + 1 leader.

The FW I think suck unless mounted, and even then...they suck. I give them a leader and a markerlight, and I'm done. They aren't game winners. Your elites and your heavies are.

Broadsides don't make me happy, lots of points and very vulnerable to just about everything.

I see what you mean with the fire warriors, but aren't the command squad crisis suits better?

I mean they have better bs and they are hard to take out with the shield drones.
