Ok so I will be playing in a tournament in a couple weeks that is very MEQ heavy. I know I might fight Deathwing, CSM, GK, Necron, and I think maybe IG. I want to have enough anti-tank, because I'm pretty sure there will be lots of them. I don't think there will be many flyers going around though.

I am not really sure what to do with the last 4 points was thinking to put ATS or CDS on the riptide or something but I don't know at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to add your C & C.

not a bad list (i run something similar) you drop the BsF from the devilfish(your not gonna need it), add one the 5 point upgrades (such as spines) to the either the Devilfish or the Hammerhead. Personally i dont think you need the Vrt, and especially not on all three (only need one Hit and Run model for the whole squad to get the effect) I personally think that Advanced targeting is much more useful. doping the three VRTs adding three ATS and making one a Shas'vre would bring a lot of value to the unit. remember not target the Sargent (unless he has a bunch of nice stuff and is just to juicy of a target, or if there are no special weapons) but rather the special weapons in that that give the unit its power. this set up should leave a couple of smoldering, bolter wielding marines left, if you dont kill off the squad entirely. instead of killing the alabative wounds designed to take the hits

Ok, I switched some things around. I put ATS on the riptide instead of sensor spines or something on the railhead. brought me to 1002.

Drop the ATS on the riptide, its not legal (only two support system slots) its also not worth it as he doest have enough shots to reliably get precision and no prescription shots on the over/nova charge anyway

Oh snap, yea I will put a spine on the railhead/Dfish then. Thanks for your help.

no problem
