Even though you only have 5 points, I'd strongly recommend giving this Target Array ... make those 7 dice count! Perhaps one kroot will call in sick for the point exchange?
Hrmm.. those are hard points to find, but I bet I get more shooting out of the
TA on the Pathfinderfish than one Kroot Carnivore (especially since they nearly ALWAYS outflank).

I like Target Lock so the
RG gets rhinos and the
BCs hit the marines.
Overall, looks good. There's nothing really to change.
Does that actually work? Don't you have to declare what you're shooting at before you roll, and since the transport and the troops inside are different killpoints, doesn't that mean you can't shoot the Marines with the
BC after blowing the Rhino with the
RG? I'm just not sure.
Entirely separate thought: I've been thinking about running this list completely without markerlights. What that would mean is, get rid of the Pathfinders completely. Switch the Broadsides from AdvSS to
TA (Since lately, that 6" hasn't made too much of a difference). Give the Warfish a
TA and give it to the Fire Warriors. Which would leave me with roughly (doing the math in my head) 67 points. That's 6 more Fire Warriors and a Kroot Carnivore (add to Squad "Destroyer" for more Kroot Bomb).
The question I have, then, is if the majority of my models are BS4 or 5 (basically everything except the elite fireknives and the troops) and half of my BS4 is firing twinlinked weapons anyway... do I really NEED the pathfinders? Especially if they are getting blown up most of the time anyhow. So is a full blown fish of fury more deadly than basically some cover save denial now and then? (even then, I generally shoot at models in cover with Submunition and ABFP).

Here's what it would look like sans-pathfinders & /w max BS4.
