So the idea is this. Turn one you have the 2 skyrays, riptide, ethereal in devilfish, stealth suits and 8man pathfinder squad on the field. Everything else outflanks apart from farsight who deepstrikes.
Stealthsuits and riptide pick sides and stay within 6 inches so they can bring the outflankers on. Skyrays alpha strike targets of interest. Devilfish picks the outflanking side and goes flat out towards the area you plan on outflanking from. Pathfinders use their scout move/run or what have you to gain a position from which they hopefully wont take too much fire and can still hit with their markerlights.

Everything can then outflank onto the board, men come out of the devilfish, ethereal giving LD10 and extra shots. Farsight and team can come down pretty much wherever, so Hopefully making use of fusion to take out tanks while the rest use their plasma to take out some other target.
Skyrays can then markerlight targets for the assault. Riptide can do its thing. Stealth suits can hopefully move up and help out pretty fast.

Theres by no means a huge abundance of AP3/2/1 in the list, but there is some to deal with TEQs and the like. Again the same with anti tank, but what I do have is precision and an almost guarantee that your troops are going to get across the board without taking damage.
Fliers will probably be a problem, and in such a case I will have to not alpha strike the skyrays, maybe keep 1 in reserve or flat out them before the fliers come on.
I dont like how little markerlights I have, especially when four of them are on vehicles which may or may not be blown up by the time the attack is happening, and pathfinders which only have a 50/50 hit rate, and will die if placed incorrectly.

Ideas?

Right I've updated it a bit. Mainly because I don't like the stealth suits.

--------------------------------------

I traded in the stealth team as a second riptide is much more survivable and adds much more within the army.
the team of 8 pathfinders became 2 squads of 5 so that I can put everything I want into reserve.
I also removed the unit of firewarriors in a devilfish because it was costly and also didnt add too much to the army. I guess you could use them for objective capturing but really you have the potential to come on from any outflanking position so I think the kroot should deal with it. Also they existed to get the ethereal into the kroot, but this can be done by placing him in the scouting pathfinder squad.
So now there is more ap2, more ways to deal with those pesky tanks but a few less str 5 shots.
