So the delema we get one fast attack. How can we maximize seeker missiles without compromising markerlight accuracy?

My thoughts
Piranha x2 112
x4 Seeker

Shas'vre crissis suit
Xv84, x2 Marker
Shas'ui 88
Upgrade one drone with +1bs the other with
I am also considering taking breachers in a devilfish supported by pathfinders

The main tactic would be to target one unit with a seeker from each piranha then fire the other with markerlights at different targets hopefully dropping three models on the first turn of shooting then after the seeker missiles are spent I have two str 5 +3 models swinging into cc along with burst cannon fire

i would consider running 3 piranhas with no markerlights.

bear in mind that with a burst cannon and 2 drones each with twinlinked carbines, each piranha pumps out 8 Str 5, half of it twinlinked, with 2 seeker missiles each.

Perhaps something like this?:

Piranha - 2 Seekers - 56
Piranha - 2 Seekers - 56
Piranha - 2 Seekers - 56

XV8 - 2 Flamers

Both lists are illegal, you need 4 non-vehicle units (actually, non-vehicle, non-beast and non-swarm, since you are required to have a leader and 3 specialists, and beasts and swarms can't be either).

My advice is, at 200 points do not bother with MLs. It's far more effective to put those few points you have into firepower.

Teschio is quite right, my mistake.

in that case:

Strike team - 45
Piranha - seeker missile - 48
Piranha - seeker missile - 48
Piranha - 2 seeker missile - 56

I took 4 units 2 xv8 two marker drones xP but I do like the idea of more armor. Ill play around with the idea some more and put a couple lists up.
