My thoughts are to use commanders as squad killers and bodyguards as anchors for holding objectives while kroot surge foward to contest middle objectives, screen and take shots for a turn maybe two so that my army can widdle down the enemy before they get seriously threatened.

And of course i have 3 units of body guards to be rock solid sponges for punishment while my commanders get to act scott free.

You will save points on the commanders by not duplicating weapons, its okay to spread them around a little bit. Looks like you could recover almost 100pts... 10 more sheild drones or 8 sheild and 2 marker drones... that's a lot of additional protection.

Since you are running Enclaves, Farsight isn't a bad choice
