From memory, if you take a support system on the Broadsides, you have to take it across all three suits.

You seem to have a nigh-extinguishable supply of Rail guns. You will have 7 going of in one turn, which means good bye LR, LR and the like, the only thing I can really see missing in you list is more fire warriors. You are lacking in the amount of firepower you can lay down but your suits are slightly making up for this. You still need more.

Agreed, far too many Railguns for this points level. My 1750 list has 4 plus a similar amount of Missile Pods and it does just fine against mech.

Drop the Broadsides down to 2 models each.

You can make the Crisis Suits cheaper and just as efficient by doing taking following:
2 x Crisis Suit, TL-Missile Pod, Drone Controller with Gun Drone
1 x Crisis Suit, TL-Missile Pod, Flamer
Total: 153

Drop the Kroot down and take 2 minimum sized squads of 10. It might seem crazy, but Kroot actually do far more damage shooting than they will in CC thanks to their cover mechanic. Plus two squad lets you Outflank and have a better chance of them coming in on the side you want them in at.

All together that should save you ~220 points, which you can spend on another Crisis Suit and another Fire Warrior/Devilfish squad; you definitely need more troops at this points level. Remember that even thought fire warriors suck, the Devilfish can tank shock through units and over objectives.

Thanks for your input! I've changed up the list a bit to match your recommendations.

Criticism is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What do you think of the blacksun filters. I thought, for 3 points more, I could allocate wounds more effectively. 'Course I could always drop them for drone controllers and save the 9 points. As you see I've got 17-25 points left and was wondering how i should spend it.

Also, I thought the blacksun filters might be useful as there are a couple necron players at my local store.
