Hi everyone,

I am looking at some feedback on this list for an upcoming 1500 point ITC tournament

I am trying to maintain a strong core of the three riptides to provide durability and a large amount of shots.

I am unsure if to run with the hounds as I was looking for a cheap CP and they might come in handy for deep strike denial or a quick objective. However the will provide very easy kill points.

Do I need more troops on the ground? Every time I play large amounts of fire warriors they are easily destroyed.

Ethereal is there to cast 6+fnp on riptides and morale coverage for drones.

Let me know what you think

you can probably save points dropping the weapons off the commander, you will be using him for that OP strat on the riptides.

with the spare points you can probably add more markerlights or kroots
