so I am putting together a 2500 point list for a tournament we are having here in town and this is what i came up with.

2 x Shaso's with Plasma rifle, fusion blaster, Shield Generator, Hardwired Multi Tracker, Hard wired target Lock

4 Body Guards with Plasma rifle, fusion blaster, targeting array, hard wired target lock and multitracker

Elite's
1 crisis squad with Flamer, burst cannon, targeting array, sarge has a hard wired multitracker and target lock
1 crisis squad with missile pod, fusion blaster, targeting array,sarge has a hard wired multitracker and target lock
1 crisis squad with Plasma Rifle, Burst cannon ( might swap that out ) targeting array, sarge has a hard wired multitracker and target lock
I could take out the squad with burst cannons and flamers and swap them out for a 6 man squad of stealthsuits ( 2 fusion blaster 4 burst cannons ? )

Troops
2 FW teams with marker lights.

Fast Attack
2 8 man pathfinder teams w/ devilfish
devilfish have disruption pods, multitracker, smart missle, burst cannon, 2 seeker missiles per devilfish

heavy
3 ful squads of broadsides / smart missles, target lock ( so i can shoot at 9 different units with the rails ) 6 shield drones ( 2 per squad )


Any advice and tips would be nice.

Generally, I'm not digging any of these. At 2.5k, the table is going to be really full of enemy models, and I'd like FireKnives for distance & safety. Also, the 2 FB/4 BC Stealth crew is too split in purpose; all BCs are best for them.

For 2.5k, waay too thin on troops.

I'd switch out one Seeker for Target Arrays, to make those 7 shots count.

I'd bond such big squads.

I think you can afford to lose an XV8 here or there for another FW or kroot unit. Kroot at least for the infiltrate-trade off.

I didn't think about that. and did i really not put the targeting arrary on there ? wow. Yeah i know my troop choice is pretty thin but i don't use FW's that much but hey its worth a try

I'd say what Brother Erekose Said.

You have a serious lack of anti-horde power.

If you changed all the battle suits to FireKnives, you will only really have your fire-warriors and devilfish to take out troops, and then a load of overkill from everything else as well.

For the crisis suits:

I would suggest fireknives. I would change them all over to plain PR/MP/MT, and possibly giving them a BK and Possibly Shield Drones.
