Hey folks my goal for the next GT I attend is to win 3/6 games.

Here's the idea,

Bully Boyz
3x5 Megas (1xKillSaw) in a Trukk w Ram

Firebase Cadre
1x Riptide (Ion, Stim)
1x3 Missilesides (EWO, 6x Marker Drones)
1x3 Railsides (EWO)

Imperial Knights:
Knight Lancer

Lancer is for wraith knights and other knights. I know I am really immobile once the the trukks pop. I am open to suggestions. I have a full compliment of orks (I can field almost any list). Tau, I am a bit more limited. I have the Cadre, one more 'tide, 2 fish, 1 hammerhead/skyray, aunva, 9 suits, farsight, shadowsun, and 12 warriors. Was gonna use a large based mega dread for the lancer....

For the Tau: Put an EWO on the riptide for sure, I would go 6 missile sides and tone down the drones. They don't have EWO so it's quite possible you will never see much use out of them.

I think the Knight doesn't compliment your other units very well, and would suggest more MSU out of the Orks otherwise your list looks weak on modified maelstrom to me.

I have the rail-sides for the AP1 and the range. To be honest, I agree that I haven't seen much performance from them.

I thought the drones got EWO too? If not... they are out.

I have the knight-lancer to deal in particular with the wraith knight of the craftworld ilk. That thing pisses me off. I find that EWO doesn't work so well on the Ion Accel Riptide for the same reason as you chose 6 missile sides over 3 rail and 2 missile. Not enough dakka.

I agree. Very weak on maelstrom....

As an Eldar player I've never worried about knights, and IMO a WK in its prior iteration as a non gargantuan creature with 10/2 distortion cannons was already a match for a Knight, now it's even less close. If Eldar worry you get more units, not less but larger units.
I figure you have the fire base for DPA type foes, and for that I prefer the AP 2 large blast on an EWO from a riptide over its other possible load outs. DPA isn't going to be one squad a turn so even with scatter It seems to do more killing for me.

I thought intercept was a snap shot.... oops. That's why no EWO on the tide....

Still.... tetras?

I have a hard time seeing spending points on markerlights at all tbh, all of your tau shooting is twin linked or a blast marker, ignore cover is useful but a chunk of your shooting already ignores it, maybe spend more points to Orks.
