You may want to go Plasma or Fusion on your Riptides instead of SMS since they compliment the target choices of the Ion accelerators. Fusion might be a good idea since you capability for dealing with AV14 is slightly lacking.

Also I am a little confused by what this list is for? Apocalypse games are meant to be 3k+ points and as I understand it you can just take any models you happen to have ( I don't think there is a FOC you have to obey?) correct me if I am wrong.

If this is an apocalypse list, how come it's only 2k and why did you bother grabbing the two fire warrior squads?

If it isn't an apocalypse list then you have too many elites and not enough troops for an objective game.

I believe what he means is double FOC (2000pts normally is) so even in that case this list sucks, Take a tau gunline, agies defenseline with quad gun, 6 riptides, 2 big units of missile sides, skyrays, 2 farseers, and 4 buffmanders.

Apoc is, RAW, bring everything you have, work out roughly even sides and let the killing begin. That said, I've been to a lot of Apoc games since the Apocalypse book came out and I have never been to a game set up in that fashion. It's always bring XXXX points of anything you want, FOC is right out the window. After that it's all about the I hate D weapons debates and trying to figure out what your going to bring.

I have just returned from a lapse in editions. Forum reading suggested that a player could use Firebase Support Cadre in normal games, but I guess that is not the case. Honestly, I just wanted to field 5 gigantic mechs. I retract my post and may God have mercy on my soul.
