As i said its not a competitive list but its really fun to play.
(Btw yes i have 2 riptides)

Never take shielded missile drones unless you have a method of securing Stubborn (pen chip). You don't want one of your "intimidators" to run off the table from the death of a drone.

Hmmm ye maybe so no missile drones... Okay

Definitely ditch the drones. Also don't multi equip the suits - go either fusion or plasma. I'd be leaning towards plasma.

Personally I'd be taking a buffmander to go with a tide, making the bodyguard a separate unit of suits.

If you really wanted to go for intimidation why not ditch the bodyguard and change the 2 FW squads for 3x 6 man, then take another tide? If that doesn't get enough points you can always ditch the third FW squad and/or swap the commander for a Fireblade or an Ethereal?

Alrighty so ill ditch the drones, unequip the fusion blasters.


The comander will ride with the tides.

Ill leave it like that.

only worth puting the command with the tides if he's a buffmander.as is he'll do nothing for the tides. The point is to give them rerolls and ignores cover...
