Crisis suits shouldn't have a variety of weapons.

Where are you going to put the buff commander? If you put him with the riptides, they need to take at least one drone to make it a squad. And if you put him with the broadsides, drone controller only works on gun and markerlight drones, not (shielded) missile drones.

Pick a role for your crisis suits and stick to it, unify their weapons to match this role.

That's a lot of fire warriors you have there! I like using fire warriors with an ethereal but I never run a full 12 man squad. The reason being if they do get charged there is a chance some of them will survive and pull combat into your turn protecting the unit that charged you from the rest of your guns. 6-9 is usually the sweet spot. Less chance of running from random casualties too.

Judging by the drone controller on your commander I assume you are placing him with the Broadsides? Just so you are aware, missile drones cannot benefit from drone controller ever.

Also @Kazekatta -> you do not need to take a missile drone with the riptide in order to put the commander with him. Rulebook makes this clear. IC cannot join units that *always* consist of one model. p39 BRB It does not say a unit must have more than one more model, only that it is capable of that.

With Target Locks on a DS Suicide squad's that is a pretty reasonable load split. And even better if the Buff'O is with them.

Not quite true, the Buff'O can join a soloing Riptide. Most people tend to put the SM drones with it to ensure a T6 when multiple crisis suits join a single riptide.
