I did not use:
24 Firewarriors
10 Kroot
3 Krootox
3 Fusion Blaster Piranha
6 Crisis Suits
18 Gun Drones
6 Missile Drones
3 Shield Drones
3 Marker Drones
3 Stealth Suits

3 Eldar Jetbikes
1 Autarch on Jetbike
1 Elrad
15 Dire Avengers
1 Wave Serpent
1 Prisim Tank
3 Vipers

My Strategy:
The Skyray, Pathfinders, and Broadsides all camp my deployment zone.

The Hammerhead, the Crisis Suits, and The Devilfish with the Firewarriors and Ethereal all rush no man's land and capture objectives. After the Devilfish deliver the Firewarriors to range they act as area denial units, blocking objectives, and using flat out moves to prevent charges on my suits and Firewarriors. The Hammerhead is there to be a bullet sponge as the three Imperial Guard players in my local game store hate Longstike with a passion.

The Riptides rush my opponents deployment zone, using the Fusion Blasters and smash attacks to make short work of enemy vehicles.

The Kroot Outflank to secure objectives and secure Line Breaker.



I expect, Mech Imperial Guard, Blob Guard supported by a Baneblade, and a Eldar Serpent Spam player.

I was thinking about dropping the Broadsides for a commander with the Warscaper Drone/Seismic Fibrillation Node combo to shut down the Eldar and possibly a Dark Eldar player. That would give me the extra points to give all the tanks Sensor Arrays.

Thanks in advance for the help guys. I have not yet won a tourney in the game store. Hoping to make this one my first.

2100 is such a weird points level; is this what your store uses for events?

Anyway, I really can't say much if you're modeled up. But, you should just run TL missile pods on the crisis. If you are using them as some type of poor mans AA, you'd be better off this way.

Why? With TL you roll 1.83 Hits on fliers, without you roll 2 Hits. TL is worse in every way than having two of a weapon.

And yea, they run escalation leagues over and over adding 200 points a week from 500 up to 2500, then starting over. Why they do this I do not know, but it makes for a serious change in strategy every week.
