So the idea is to mix the power of the new crisis suits-bomb + farsight commander with a Coldstar Commander warlord in Vior’la for 1 extra CP and the advance and fire without penality trait of the sept.
Sa’cea detachment is for the re-roll per unit per phase for markerlights.
What do you guys thinks about this list!?
For the Greater Good!

Personally I would move the PEN to a backfield fireblade ethral over the coldstar as I don't think coldstars have a high survivability if being played quad fusion as he is most effective at sub 9 inch and hiding at that distance is unreliable.
Also I'm not sure the additional +1 CP makes the sept worth it, Tau or borkan would benifit the firewarriors a lot more, precision of the hunter also seams like a much morr obvious benifit to a quad fusion mander aswell. That or making farsight your warlord as hes going to be hanging with a suit unit, gives him much beter chance of countering a charge of them, and he'll take a lot of firepower to kill.

You’re right man, thank you!
