So I know this isn't super competitive, but it seems like it could be fun to play. The plan is to run the commanders and riptides up the field behind/with the giant swarm of kroot and hounds. The ethereals would be spread out throughout the swarm to give them the benefit of their leadership stat as well as that sweet 6+ fnp. Also, I swapped out the pathfinders for more hounds and shield drones as not much in this army really needs them.

What do you think?

Hey, i've got a question; how many drones are in units and what kind are they? Also, your list has very little damage output, with 2x riptides and 3x commander, your opponent can easily deal with them. Leaving you only with kroots. So any balanced force with antitank and anti infantry can wipe those units off the table.

I'm guessing 16 shield drones. I didn't see any drone controllers so not likely gun or marker drones. 16 shield drones is adequate protection. Its too bad that kroot and kroot hound morale is so poor, this could have been a fun list to play.
