Hey all,

I'm in a cross-store league and we're just entering the playoffs so I thought I'd get some opinions on my list. From what I've been told this guy runs a lot of Killa Kans and Nob Bikers. The senario is Pitched Battle. Primary objective is 4 objectives, secondary is Mechanicus (an objective that can only be held or contested by heavies) and the tertiary is Fast & Furious (objective that can only be held or contested by fast attack).

So here's the list:

HQ

Shas'o
Airbursting Frag Projector
Plasma Rifle
Multi-tracker
120 pts

Elites
Fireknife squad with team leader and bonding knife
(plasma rifle/missle pod/multi-tracker)

Helios Squad with team leader, bonding knife and a shield drone
(fusion blaster/plasma rifle/multi-tracker. Shas'vre swapped plasma for missile pod)

Aurora Squad with team leader and bonding knife
(burst cannon/plasma rifle/multi-tracker. Shas'vre swapped plasma for missile pod)
575 pts

Troops

12x Fire Warrior with pulse rifle
10x Fire Warrior with pulse rifle
10x Fire Warrior with pulse rifle
10x Fire Warrior with pulse rifle
420 pts

Fast Attack

6x Pathfinders with pulse carbines/markerlights
Devilfish with disruption pods

6x Pathfinders with pulse carbines/markerlights
Devilfish with disruption pods
314 pts

Heavy
Hammerhead with railgun, smart missle system, multi-tracker, flechette discharger and disruption pod

2x Broadside with advanced stabilization system and 2 shield drones

2x Broadside with advanced stabilization system and 2 shield drones
565pts

Total: 1994pts

Any input is greatly appreciated

Why up grade to vre when Team Leader does the same for a few points less? Vre gains nothing, not vs orks, anyway. Those saved points might be better used on bonding one or two FW units.

More kans than boys? I'd keep this. If there are more boyz than kans, then I'd have another pie-pate Railhead.

Another thing to consider, if the boyz are plentiful, then flechettes on the tanks are a good idea.

Good point, I adjusted the list and ditched the vre in favor of Team Leaders and popped a flechette discharger on my railhead.

Something else you could do to save points is drop your HQ to an 'El, give him Targeting Array, and HW the multi-tracker. You could use those points to buy some bonding knives for the crisis suits, too, or use them on the FWs like Brothererekose said.

Other suggestions I can think of are upgrade the Devilfish you have to Warfish (SMS, Targeting Array, MT, DP) or maybe get Devilfish for your other FWs. It's hard to say where to get points from, but they're just suggestions.
