Going to a tournament and it will be the first one that will be fully allowing the Stronghold Assault codex, and this is what I'm looking at bringing with me.

The Veterans come in with the Vendetta on turn 2 (2+ re-roll able to ensure) and get dropped off mid game to grab objectives mid field. The Fortress has 4 Battlecannons and 8 Lascannons to give the meager ground forces something to shoot with until the Vendetta arrive. I have 8 interceptor lascannon shots for heldrakes, CronAir, or Farsight Bombs with 6 more Twin Linked Lascannons to help out with Skyfire, if I need it. Not sure haw to deal with a Jetseer Star, if I run into one so any advice (other than rage flipping the table) would be smiled upon.

Thanks.

looks okay, quick question why swap the battle cannons on to the firestorms and not use them on the vengeance weapon batteries?

It's actually just to remove the Quad Lascannons from the Redoubts. If the weapons on the Redoubt have Skyfire, they have to follow a targeting matrix, firing at the closest Flyer, then the closest Non-Flyer. With the Quad Lascannons on the Vengeance Batteries they lose that Targeting Matrix, and the Redoubt doesn't restrict my firing of the Battlecannons.
