Elites:
XV25 Stealth Suits (122pts)

XV8 Crisis Team (190pts)
2x Shas'ui w/ 2x Fusion Blaster, Shas'vre w/ 2x Fusion Blaster, 2x Shield Drone

Strike Teams hold objectives and serve as ranged anti-infantry. Ethereal hangs around to try to give them buffs.
Stealth Team deep-strike or outflank to get the Beacon into position.
Crisis Team uses the beacon for better chances of a successful drop. Overkill happens.

I've not built the Crisis Team yet and I'm considering spending the last 5 points to give one of the Crisis suits Target Lock and exchange it's Fusion Blasters for a different weapon, just to give the squad some more protection against potential melee units, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks lads.

Have you considered the Cadre Fireblade in place of the Ethereal? He offers some buffs of his own. The Ethereal may get singled out pretty quick and he gives up an extra victory point if killed.

5 Points left may be well spent on recon armour for the Ethereal to give him a 5+ save

You may also consider infiltrating with the Stealth Suits. Deep-striking our outflanking is risky. If you pass the reserve roll for the Crisis team, but not the Stealth team, the Crisis team has to come in anyway. Target Locks at this points level are a very smart include, so I would spend the 5 on that.
