I screwed up posting the army list; see my second post below.

First, add a Target Array to your 'El to keep BS5. Then break each 'vre off the HQ. As is, they cost more points for no gain and each can only shoot one gun. Instead, try this for ten less points:

XV8 - team Leader, BC/PR, TA, hwMT

XV8 - team Leader, BC/PR, TA, hwMT

1. they keep BS4 (team leader allows for the Target Array)
2. they can shoot both guns (hw MultiTracker)
3. they are 5 points cheaper than your bodyguards
4. the HQ can still attach to one of them
5. This splits your fire power (good for you) and makes the enemy split his (good for you)
6. Makes it harder for the enemy to catch 3 suits in h2h ... now he has to snag two or three different groups
7. makes them easier to JSJ to a good LoS-blocking hiding spot

Spines are kinda worthless. Dispods grant a Cover Save. Always take 'em.

Shield Drones really help XV88s, with Bonding.

Fix the Crisis Suit layout and you're okay.

Yeah... I totally screwed up when I was transcribing my army. Multiple times . Your advice is all sound, for the army I posted, but it's not the army I'm building.

Also: the second Shas'el is meant to sit in the backfield with the Broadsides, so his Bonding Knife and Shield Drones are also for their benefit. The only situation in which he'd leave that squad is if they were about to be assaulted and he had a chance to escape.

Let me try again:

HQ

1 Crisis Shas'el w/Bonding Knife, Cyclical Ion Blaster, Multi-Tracker, Plasma Rifle, Shield Drones x2
2 Crisis Shas'vre Bodyguards w/Burst Cannon, Hardwired Multi-Tracker, Plasma Rifle, Targeting Array

1 Crisis Shas'el w/Bonding Knife, Hardwired Target Lock, Positional Relay, Shield Drones (x2), Twin-Linked Missile Pods

Elites

1 Stealth Shas'ui Leader w/Bonding Knife, Burst Cannon, Markerlight, Marker Drone, Target Lock
2 Stealth Shas'ui w/Burst Cannon, Marker Drone

Troops

1 Fire Warrior Shas'ui Leader w/Bonding Knife, Pulse Rifle
8 Fire Warrior Shas'la w/Pulse Rifle
Devilfish w/Burst Cannon, Gun Drones x2, Sensor Spines

1 Fire Warrior Shas'ui Leader w/Bonding Knife, Pulse Rifle
8 Fire Warrior Shas'la w/Pulse Rifle
Devilfish w/Burst Cannon, Gun Drones x2, Sensor Spines

12 Kroot

12 Kroot

Heavy Support

2 Broadside Shas'ui w/Advanced Stabilisation System, Smart Missile System

Hammerhead Tank w/Disruption Pod, Multi-Tracker, Railgun

You didn't change anything.

Sensor spines.
'Vre bodyguards.
No SDs for XV88s.

Is there a software issue?
