I am looking more for fluff than absolute killing power but also do want to be able to win with the list of course.

'el w/ MP, AFP, MT and Stims
2 x Death Rain Monats
2x 12 FCW + Sushi & Bonding in Fish
1x 9 Man FCW
2 x Piranhas (not a team) w/ Fusion Blasters, Decoy & Target Array
1x Railhead
1x Ionhead

Any ideas on how to get an extra 140pts to get the third FCW team in a fish?

Somewhere in south-central England.

I don't see how you can find an extra 140 for another 'Fish without losing whole chunks of list.

Drop the 9-man FCW team and use the points for a Gun drone squadron or maybe 5 Vespids plus Strain Leader. Either choice would be fairly fluffy. You'd need to find a few points but you could drop the Stims from your 'el.

BTW the AFP is arguably a sub-optimal choice for the 'el because it makes no use of his superior BS.

Have you pimped your H'heads at all? Decoys and MTs are considered compulsory.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Got the decoys, and MT on ion, + TL for the railhead.

I don't have any vespids but I like the idea of some gun drones.

Drop the AFP on the 'El. Just utterly worhtless. You want to kill troops, use stealths or firewarriors. Anything in an XV8 suit needs to have any combination of the following 3: Missile pods, plasma rifle, fusion blaster. Anything else is a waste of the slot meant to kill heavy infantry and vehicles.

I'd drop the idea of having a 3rd FCW. I never run over 2 anyway. Kroot are a viable alternative as they can infiltrate and so get into the target area before the fight.
