Just a thought, with split fire no longer needing a leadership test and D weapons being far less scary - why not make one larger squad of missile sides with target locks? There are drawbacks, granted, but it means they can all benefit from Buffmander and the PEN chip at once (and he has nowhere else to go, really.

Is shadowsun operating on her own? I don't know if this is a common tactic but isn't it an expensive way to kamikaze things?

Has it been confirmed that no IC can join a riptide?

Thanks for that.

I think broadsides are limited to units of three.

The idea with Shadowsun is that she can buff the riptide with the HBC (making an infiltrating unit with 2+ armour, 2+cover (in area terrain) 3+ invulnerable save. The rerollable ones buffs the HBC nicely and her own bs5 fusion blasters as well as the missile pods. Then one of the iontides is Firebase Support Cadre (PE space marines, TH, MH) as well as the broadsides and the final Riptide is buffed by the buffmander. Though I can swap and have the buffmander with the HBC and...

Shadowsun can also potentially join a Kroot squad against enemies with no Ignore Cover weapons to make a fairly hard to destroy libebreaker/contesting unit. The unit is 2+ Cover if it outflanks into any terrain.

Well it has been played that way by most folks for a while. Every tournament I've been at has ruled it that way and I can't see GW altering the rules on it...

Well 6th ed ya but I have seen some "rumors" that in 7th ed they won't be able to do it anymore. I hope it is just a rumor...

Rumour is no IC can ever join a MC and also area terrain is gone

Area terrain gone!!!???

Apparently - ruins and such just give saves if you are in it I believe - all "official" GW terrain has rules in the rulebook.
