Its a competitive list. How do you plan to use it against the lists?

Siegler had cold fusion stars to deal with things that can't be allowed to live. Certain characters, maybe a pumped up leviathan, too many knights? Your list is going to struggle without a dedicated scalpel unit. And while I love missile pods but they are going to bounce off hard targets without ATS.

I'll be honest I don't know exactly what the stealth suits were planned for but they added board control, a possible desperation charge unit, and harassment, but a 3rd battalion of breachers feels like a downgrade to me.

I'm seeing 4 relics/prototype systems, that makes your list illegal.

Thanks for the comment! His recent list doesn’t have the fusion Coldstars and he insist on the 3 batallion because of the value of massive number of scoring units, 5+ invulnerable and CP’s. I haven’t tried the list yet, but it cibs can deal with most armour, only issue is manoeuvrability.

The 4 systems is a slip up, the coldstar doesn’t get the stabiliser jets.

whats his recent list look like?
