If your using 2 side units and a riptide why not use the tau formation? You basically get tank hunters for free on those units

Typically Iontides are used for intercepting with early warning override and Bursttides are used for monstrous creature/flyer hunting with velocity tracker.

Yeah. I forgot to mention: no formations! Tournament rule.

Was planning on using the broadsides for anti air... And guided hornets. Stims seemed more valuable...

Anything else?

It's a solid list. Lots of obs secured lots of shooting.

I would personally drop the Wraith Knight, the jetbikes and the Farseer in exchange for some Wave Serpents and a minimal Autarch or Spiritseer.

You're pretty much stuck in shooting anyway so might as well do that well.

The buffmander seems to be missing quite a few upgrades, how do you intend to play this ?

Also why not double up on IAtides, they're going to do better if you can plug the remaining holes with WS.

He's not a buffmander. There isn't really much for him to join. He's a roving Mark'O'Mander.
