What you think?

I think it has speed different weapon types and is effective because of the markerlights.

Please comment and by all means be harsh!!!

You should use the Shas'el's third hard-point to give him a Targetting Array rather than a Burst Cannon.

Although the Hammerhead Railgun is nice to have, you should use Broadsides to get your anti-tank. TL Railguns just hit so much more often. Hammerheads should just use Submunitions on infantry.

I'd drop one squad of Pathfinders. You have more Devilfishes than you'd be needing. If it's gonna be effective because of the Markerlights, might as well load up on them, leave the Rail Rifles for Sniper Teams. If you do this you could drop one of the FW Devilfishes too since they can use the Pathfinder's to get around. Then use the points to get more FWs.

Missle Pods are great weapons, good for when you don't know what you're up against. I'd replace the Burst Cannon on the Suits for another Missle Pod. The Suits will likely get as many wounds in as they would with Burst Cannons, maybe even more. Also, the Missle Pod's range is delightful, not a lot of standard-issue weapons will reach a JSJing Missle Pod Suit.

I dont like broadside and I can use the markerlight to gibe the hammerhead bs 5.

Anyone else.

Thanks for ya comments.

I like this list as it has abit of everything, well done.

The only two concerns i have is that i personlly think you need a few more seeker missiles and the other is that you lack troops 3x6 isnt the best but then again you have transports to hide them in, it just seems you will be wasting their great fire power but overall nice list

Thankyou it will take a bit of playtesting to work the kinks that might appear.

Anymore?

anyone else really want peoples views.

I see somewhat of a weakness in a lack of volume of fire, since there aren't really any big squads or guns with lots of shots. Volume of fire is definitely the best way to make use of markerlights, and often the best way to take out small squads of really tough guys; for example, I could see this list having trouble with like squads of wraiths since your units can't rack up enough wounds to get through their 3+ invulnerable save, while stealth suits could take them out pretty easily by having so many shots.

Just had a brain storm for you and had an

here it is:
You could drop one of the hammerheads for 2-3 spiner drone teams to add firepower and pinning
You could drop the burst cannons on the suits and TL the pods and buy 2-3 stealth suits for the burst cannons and stealth
You could drop the snipers on the pathfinders and drop themm down to 6 mans to add 6-8 more FW

Take all with a pinch of salt and hope i helped

Thanks I agree will make some changes soon.

That list looks a lot more solid to me. I don't understand the fusion blasters on the stealth suits unless they have a target lock though.

I used to be like you. I hated broadsides. That's when I was stupid. It's easy to say that you can use a markerlight on a hammerhead, but when the dice are rolling and you have very limited markerlight hits, it might be a different story. Hammerheads are alright, and I still use them, just for the future, I wouldn't write off the XV88's.

Oops! Edited to Add: drop something to put disruption pods onto your hammerheads. This list gets an F until that happens



Rmeju

I agree, disruption pods on all your vehicles, need a HWMT on your shas'el and do you really think a bc is best used on your shas'el now that you have stealthsuits in the list?

You could drop 2 of the Devilfishes on the FW's pick up another 5man of pathfinders and havethem foot slog and have the FW steal their transport

good idea.

I would also suggest dropping your FW to 10 man units and adding a cyclonic ion balster instead of burst cannon on commander and/or pick up some sekker missiles to compliment your 10 markerlights
