Getting back into 40k after a 5 or so year absence, whipping up a hopefully TAC mono Sa'cea list. Not looking to make a super competitive list, but don't want to field anything strictly suboptimal (poor subsystem choices, crisis suits) and am looking to get the weapon balance right. General idea is a firebase of broadsides and fire warriors with the missile pod commander, with the stealth suits, ghostkeel and pathfinders moving up early to try and claim control of early objectives, the Riptide, Ethereal and Piranhas providing support to the advance forces, hitting priority targets, and filling any gaps in my line. I suspect I'll be dropping quite a few CP on enabling the Riptide, as well as a few CP on markerlight stratagems if the anecdotes about pathfinders dying like flies turns out to be true. Any glaring holes or adjustments you'd suggest? All I have bought and built is the commander, ethereal, fireblade, 10 pathfinders with a couple ion and support drones, and 20 fire warriors, so the rest of the list is still easy to change. I also have a set of crisis suits from the start collecting box that I'm currently saving for when kill team comes out, but would be happy to use them if anyone has ideas on how to make them work in a regular list.
