Hi this list is for a 750 Tournament I am doing with some friends I will be facing eldar, space marines, orks, dark eldar, and tyranids. I tried to make an all comer type list. The basic idea is the broadsides follow the warriors and drones in the back while the kroot attempt an outflank and the crisis suits deepstrike in trying out Montka.

I would drop the gun drones for another squad of Kroot to shield/screen your FW and Broadsides.

You might be better served by stripping some of the upgrades off of your suits and getting more of them. You could easily be running 4x MP/BC/MT suits if you dropped upgrades.

Try some MP/BC/MT crisis suits. That plasma will probably not be worth the investment against the non-Marine players. Split up your suits so you provide more targets, can target more units, etc. It also prevents the need for leader/BK upgrades. You have three elite slots, feel free to use them all.

Just some thoughts.

I disagree. Always field plasma, because there will always be MEQ and TEQ. You may be able to run PR + BC or PR + FL for cheapness.

Drop all the upgrades from the firewarriors and take 9 @ 90 points instead. 7 is the same as 6, 2 dead and you are taking a test. @ 9 it takes 3 for a test.

I'd say drop the plasma suits for some TLMP suits. Those are deadly at 750 and you can field alot of them. If they can field termies and high armor, they can't field alot of them. The increase in firepower will make up for loss of AP. Also, TLMP will destroy any transports, serving a dual purpose. I'd drop the gun drones and put the points in more troops. I'd drop the targetting array on the HQ. I'd drop all the shield drones on the suits. Take more things that can provide a barrier, that way you wont need shield drones and can field more firepower instead.

Or you could do what I did for my 750 Tau list and field both Plasmas and TL MPs. I loaded out my HQ and 2 body gaurds with PL/MP/MT and made them all BS4, then I added 3 individual TLMP crisis with flamers.

It's really not a bad idea to optimize suit numbers at that level. 9 suits will wreck hell on whatever your opponent fields.
