Hi All,

A friend and I are taking a trip up to Warhammer World in a few weeks to have a battle on one of the centre-piece tables (Spyral Prime).. My friend will be playing Imperial Fists and whilst we want a friendly fun game (we're both trying out a few new things) I'd also like to give a good showing, so I'd welcome any constructive comments on my list:

Primary Detachment:

Commander (Buffmander); Iridium Battlesuit, CnC Node, Multi-spectrum Sensor Suite, Vectored Retro-Thrusters, Shield Generator, Onager Gauntlet

12x Firewarriors, Shas'ui; Devilfish, Sensor spines
12x Firewarriors, Shas'ui; Devilfish, Sensor spines

3x XV8, Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster
Riptide, Ion Accelerator, Plasma Rifles, Early Warning Override, Velocity Tracker*

2x Tetra, Blacksun Filter, Sensor Spines, Disruption Pod
Barracuda, Blacksun Filter, Decoy Launchers, Disruption Pod
Pirahna, Fusion Blaster

Hammerhead, Smart Missile System, Longstrike Shas'ui, Sensor Spines, Disruption Pod
Skyray, Smart Missile System, Sensor Spines, Disruption Pod

Secondary Detachment:

Cadre Fireblade

12x Firewarriors

10x Kroot, 2x Krootox, Shaper, Sniper rounds

2x XV8, Plasma Rifle, Twin-linked Fusion Blaster
2x XV8, Plasma Rifle, Twin-linked Fusion Blaster

4x Pathfinders, Shas'ui, Blacksun Filter
4x Pathfinders, Shas'ui, Blacksun Filter

2x XV88, Rail rifle, Smart Missile System, Velocity Tracker

Aegis Defence Line, Quad gun

Total: 2499

Basic plan is to setup the Cadre Fireblade with firewarriors in the ADL, hopefully baby-sitting an objective, with the kroot as a defensive screen / fire base and at least some of the heavies in support . The two units of Crisis pairs and the Riptide go mid-field to hunt stuff down and protect the Firewarriors in Devilfish moving forward (either to capture objectives or fish-of-fury), with marklerlight support from the pathfinders and Tetras. The Commander and three-strong Crisis run as an independent back-field strike (possibly from reserve) with the Pirahna and Barracuda providing harassment and fast-response support.

* Note: I currently only have one Riptide, so I'm using what I've got. Plus I want to keep my friends.
