Hi everyone. Trying to make a list for the league of this upcoming year. Not gonna lie : a lot of marine players in my league (duh ). So I need to have a solid list. We start at 1500 pts. What do you think of this :

Commander : Cyclic Ion blaster, Shield gen, C2, Multi-spectrum SS
Bodyguards x3 : Fusion Blaster x3, Shield Gen x3

Riptide : Ion Accelerator, TL Fusion Blaster

Riptide : Ion Accelerator, TL Fusion Blaster

Fire Warriors x12
Devilfish : TL SMS

Fire Warriors x12
Devilfish : TL SMS

Marker Drone Squadron x4

Marker Drone Squadron x4

Marker Drone Squadron x4

Hammerhead : SUbmunition, TLSMS, Disruption Pod

Total: 1500/1500

What do you think of it ?

Let's flip this over to be more effective. As is your team can only kill a few marines, leaving plenty of them to assault you afterward.

Cmdr - 2 guns**, Irid Armor, VRT, EWO, maybe Shield Gen. though I never equip mine with one as there isn't too much STR10 to Instant Death a T5 model. Plus Look out, Sir! is generally effective when Destroyer Weps show up.

Elite team (save points) -
'Vre with MSS and C&CN <--- you now preserve the HQ's better Balistic Skill and continue to have TL and Ignores Cover
2 buddies with matching guns and EWO.
**Overall, I recommend FB/PR. 4 FBs and no Target Locks is overkill for any vehicle. You'll want the PRs' double tap to deal out enough wounds to scrag a 10 man marine unit. The CiB is a bottom tier gun. If your model is stuck with it, pretty much every where I've played is cool with proxying on glued-wep Crisis Suits.

Give both Stims and EWO.

You'll want EWO to deal with the SkyHammer that some marine players will still be using. At the BAO tourney, I faced 3 lists with assaulting jumpers and not one marine got off his assault when arriving. And I only had one Riptide and 4 suits (an allied attachment).

I'd out one set of drones to pay for some of the upgrades. Or chop the FW units down to 9 or 6, depending on how much you need.
