It comes in to 2,001 im fairly sure. You will have to forgive me for lack of points cost per unit as i have left my lists elsewhere but remember army off by heart. Like i said inspiration for this army was taken from the Vior'la sept, such as the large number of mounted fire warriors, and massed battlesuits, I have had multiple victories with this army and also some very close fought defeats, which is why i say its competative.

Please contact a MOD to take down your last post

I don't understand the fusion and plasma on the same suit. Why not just take each suit with 2 of one weapon.

As for the rest it looks good.

Good luck!

Im sure you can if your worried about it, but im pretty certain its been lost in the sea of posts haha.

I do this simply because of consitancy and also its super effective at killing monstrous creatures and space marines.

But another Vior'la battlesuit loadout is T/L Fusion Blaster and a target lock on all suits. Im not a fan of havinh different weapons on all my suits but, being mainly a guard player i believeing in capitilzing and maximising shots.

@Galactica-actual,
You should edit your post to remove the second part. You double-posted on accident, but it auto-appended.

Its gone mate, no body will ever read it again i cant even find it its that buried now. Now please i keep coming back to this post thinking someone has commented something constructive to the current post, so unless you have something useful to say about my army please stop Commenting.

@Galactica-actual,
I was referring to two separate things.
1) You posted another thread similar to this. (Problem solved.)
2) You posted this twice:

Spoiler:

Im sure you can if your worried about it, but im pretty certain its been lost in the sea of posts haha.

In terms of suggestions:
On your third Crises suit in your third group I would keep in uniform and take a Burst Cannon, Plasma Rifle. Maybe that's just my minor OCD, however.
Are those Broadsides one squad of 3 or 3 squads of 1? IIRC you can only take 2 Broadsides in a squad, however, I could be wrong.

Sorry,
Just checked the codex. I was wrong.

But, I would definitely consider the Railguns on those Broadsides. IMO the High Yield Missile System just isn't as good. But as always, YMMV.

At 2k points do you have enough anti-air?

Your broadsides and 3 T/L missile pod crisis won't be able to do much against anything with multiple flyers which at 2k you should be fully expecting.

I agree with your thoughts that HYMP are the go to choice on broadsides currently and will potentially take down a flyer in a turn with good rolling but not sure how you will be taking down multiple's. Maybe some lucky rolling on your 6 twin-linked marker shots??

Hmm. I suppose the HYMP vs. the Railguns are a matter of taste. I personally don't have to worry about flyers in my local-meta, however, so that is of no concern to me.

HYMP all the way.
