The idea is for a mini farsight/shadowsun bomb with suits as troops to stay out of trouble and take out troops and take objectives and the riptides are there as fire magnets. Till the mini bomb comes in . The fire warriors will be In Reserve and when they come in will hide the game out.

Ideas and changes welcome .

You need to unmix your suit weapons. Having a squad for example with 1 suit with fusion and 2 suits with burst cannons is a waste because if you fire at tanks your waste your burst cannon shooting and if you fire at infantry your wasting your tank busting weapons

I was just thinking that it means they can deal with any thing . But maybe I should just have 1 tank buster 1 troop killer. Good point apart from that does it look solid?

Well its illegal you don't get Farsight's bodyguard team in an Enclaves you get the eight instead. Also the bomb works due to target locks and dedicated suits your bomb has neither. You want double plasma suits aplenty just one or two double fusion and the same double missile. The support suit massively increases the damage output of the unit. Markerdrones aren't great in the unit they should kill anything you point them at so what is the point of marking them.

The Heavy Burst cannon is a very mediocre weapon. Dump it. Ion and an EWO are essential for Riptides unless you're doing an AA Riptide.

It appears your Crisis teams have 4 weapons (2 twin linked weapons) this is again illegal you only get 3 choices. Mixing plasma and burstcannons in a unit or fusion and burstcannon is not a good mix don't mix weapons in units unless you're taking target locks.

Arhhhhhh I see with the weapons now . I don't yet have FE so don't know exactly how it works . So I take the suits as troops then just drop him in the unit ?

@fling it now, not true about the body guards, it's a you MAY replace his xv8 body guards with the 8 so I wouldn't worry pal that part of your list is legal lol
