Fairly self-explainatory. The Commander joins one of the Crisis suit teams, and both Crisis teams go off and do what Crisis do best. Pathfinders drop their transport for the fire warriors and find some cover to markerlight things for the hammerheads. Fire Warriors sit in the Pathfinder Fish and score.

You forgot to put a D-Pod on your devilfish, should never leave home without it.

Also if you are planning on camping with it you could drop the smart missiles to save some points. If you want a warfish, find room to add a target array for those missiles.

Any reason not to split those Crisis into 3 teams? You lose a little efficiency with Markerlight hits, but gain some durability, extra freedom of movement/positioning, and you won't have to worry about falling under 50%.

I think SMS on a DF is OK, but I'd really encourage you to add a Targeting Array. And Disruption Pod.

I prefer burst cannons on the Hammerheads. It's more shots at slightly shorter distance, and also saves you some points.

If your FWs are going to sit in a DF all game, drop them to 6 dudes. That's a lot of points for guys that won't be shooting.

elrabin and Dr. Sterling are spot on with advice.

1. Upgrade to a full Warfish or just go Dumbfish (in this caser as you're short on points, Dispod only)
2. Instead of two trios, go three pairs of XV8s - BKs are unnecessary as a surviving suit of a pair doesn't need a BK to rally, but a single survivor of a trio can't rally without a BK, as elrabin stated
3. BCs vs. SMS - more shots, cheaper, less range.

Not mentioned: Add Shield Ds to your broadsides, and bond.

Just a quick point as all points above are sounds advice, with your FWs in devilfish dont just sit them in it for the whole game. I played a match against eldar last night 1000pts and won but the the thing that turned the game was my devilfish unloading 12 fw's rapid fire i managed 19 wounds on a unit holding an objective. No survivors lol but what I am saying is I used to only put 6 men in a devilfish for points but think fish of fury is well worth taking the extra six. useful mount of fire powe! just personal experience o and go with a dumbfish as you already have two hammerheads, saves you points.
