6 Fire Wrriors Shas'ui with Markerlight. 80
HammerHead RailGun, Burst Cannons, Target Lock and Disruption Pod. 160

Remove the bodyguards and make them normal crisis suits, it saves points and allows them to jump to a problem better than having one crisis team.

If you can spare it marker-lights on the firewarriors may be a good idea.

You may also want to look into pathfinders as you already have points for the devilfish and that allows you to have a markerlight team.

so drop the 6 FW take pathfinders with the devilfishbut use the 12 for it What do you mean about the sparing markerlights

You can equip Shas'ui Firewarriors with a Markerlight. In the codex on page 29.

Yeh they have it

says Shas'ui's with markerlight

Opp Sorry about that. Otherwise its a good list.

Cool thanks for the help What should i do with the pathfinder develifish?
Should i just put the FW in it

you need DPods on those Fish. 3+ cover just for moving one.

I would actually drop the Markerlights on your Firewarrior squads. Since it's not a Network Markerlight, your Shas'ui would be forced to fire it at the same target as your firewarriors, which would probably not be the same target as your suits or hammerhead. You could spring for target-locks, but then you're essentially paying 25 points for a BS3 markerlight.

Additionally, I would drop the 6 man firewarrior team. They are very squishy.

With the 100 points left over, I would try to squeeze in a few more suits (Deathrains if you can find the room) or a Broadside with a shield drone for more railgun goodness.

Do the bonuses stack?

DPods just give shrouded now

Change the Shas'O for a Shas'El with a Targetting array. Saves some points and gets him the same BS as an O'.
