Taking the plunge here, gang. I'm aiming for versatility with this list. I feel it should be able to handle both hordes and vehicle heavy lists. Many thanks go out to all of the forum members for their excellent inspiration and codex info, across the community without which I would not have been able to build this.

So the idea is to take a battlesuit heavy approach along with the Devilfish SMS as the primary S5 firepower. The pathfinders are there to make sure the crisis shooting is positively killer. The IonHead is meant to be both a pushback unit and, generally, a bullet magnet. I plan on using it very aggressively. The Vector Shas'O is completely credited to T0nka. It's such a wild idea that I have to try it.

I opted for a cheap Shas'El as my second HQ. I was playing around with a C&C node HQ, but I'm not sure how effective it will be. I opted for something a bit more tried and true.

Originally the list didn't have TA's on the Devilfish, but they're so cheap it's worth it. I'm wondering if I should opt for disruption pods instead. I may also opt for a Skyray to replace the IonHead, just to increase the number of seeker missiles I have access to. That's something I'll really have to test out, though.  Finally, I have two points.  Fusion Blaster for the Stealth Team?

Comments and suggestions are very welcome.  Have at it, Dakka.

Make the pathfinder squads 8 men with no upgrades. More bodies is better.

I don't think I'd ever buy hammerheads if I wasn't gonna buy 3 railheads or 3 cheap ionheads. When you take a mix you let people prioritize killing them.

Ehn, lots more to it, but generall you've got way too many toys and not enough scoring units with resilience.
