the fire warriors hijack the path finders fish's, they go round to the flanks, crisis suits pop down, re rolling scatter dice and popping tanks. shaso and squad go forward behind the vehicles, shoot and jump behind.

Not so much, run these the same as the first squad, we have railguns for anti tank.

Fish look good, drop the squads down to 6, use the points for something better since they will be in the fish all game.

I can see you running into problems with not enough railguns for this point level.

All in all while not much really jumps out as bad, this list seems lacking in killyness compared to what it could have.
I think its most likley optimization issues, since its a tourny list you'll want to trim the fat and maximize your firepower.
I'd like to see a minimum of 10 Crisis Suits and at least a few Broadsides. Not sure what mini's you have available tho.

You also have fusion blasters for anti tank. Personally, though, I think TL Fusion Blaster suits can be a little riksy, it really depends on how your opponents play though. I would prefer PR/FB/MT or Dethrains, which can take out light armor from a safe distance.

Why the target locks on the devilfishes, why would you want to split fire when all your guns are pretty much the same? I would use the points for targeting arrays.

I would drop a hammerhead for three broadsides with A.S.S. and team leader w/ HW TL, 2 Shield Drones, and a BK.

To get enough points for that I would whiddle down your fire warrior units, and take off the team leader and BK. I only use team leaders and bonding knives with 12 man units, I feel like it is a waste of points in smaller squads.
