This list is intended for all-comers style play and more specifically a tournament in late May... I haven't had much of a chance to test it out versus HS-Heavy MEQs/Ironwarriors/Deathwing style armies and I want to know what some suggestions would be to make it more competitive in that area. I've already tested it extensively against Gun-Line IG, Mech IG, Eldar, and Orks and it performed beautifully so I don't really need too many Horde-army suggestions.

Edit: Spelling

**Longshot**

Unless they changed bonding knives, i think them and shasuis are still wastes of points. Your FCWs are not going to score very often and if they do it's cos they're not molested.

You're woefully short of antimarine/terminator firepower, and have nothing you'd happily throw at Av12 things. And that's why Crisis are a better choice in the Mechanized list.

Get a targeting array on that Shas'el. Because hey, why not?
