This is my 1750 Tournament list. I'm not taking any Markerlights, not because I don't like them, but because I don't like the units that carry them.
Any suggestion, tweaks, etc are very welcome. The missions in the tournament are the 5 standard ones, 2 Alpha, 2 Gamma and 1 Omega.

-2 XV88 @198pts: ASS. Team Leader w/ 2 Shield Drones, Blacksun.

I know the Blacksun on the Hammerheads and the XV88s isn't necessary, but I couldn't think of anything better to do with the extra 13pts. And seeing as their is a 16% chance of Night Fight in the first round in 3 out of 5 games it might be useful.

Any suggestions, critiscims, tweaks, etc ?

To be honest you probably know more of what you are doing than me but I would drop the disruption pods and the extra points for the shield drones & team leader on the crisis suits and buy more firepower and/or more kroot. If you also nix the blacksun on your railheads and broadsides (although you have about a 50% chance of using it) you could get two more fireknives.

Yeah, I've thought about throwing out most of the rear-end loading upgrades for 2 more Crisis, however 3 Crisis is a.) expensive and b.) very vulnerable as it is hard to hide. And if you have 3 Crisis you need to bond them as well, and then you need to take 2 Shield Drones to protect this 196pt unit and that is way too expensive.

I also have no idea how much terrain to expect, it could well be that they won't follow the 25% terrain guideline, and then a 3man Crisis unit is almost impossible to hide.

3 XV8 @185pts: 2 Plasma, Pod, Multi. TL Flamer, 2 Shield Drones.

Reason #1: Increases the model count to 5 while keeping the wound count even. This has the advantage of requiring 2 casualties lost to cause a moral check, which is important when the squads have low leadership.

Reason #2: Percentage loss of firepower. The unit has ablative wounds. The first 4 wounds effectively result in no loss of firepower.

Yeah, I saw your idea on ATT, its good, but I have two problems with it. First of all, hiding 5 bases is hard, that is a very big footprint, and secondly I don't have the 122pts for the upgrade.
But if I had the pts then I'd definitely do it, the extra flamer might even be useful at some point.
