Hey all Dakkites,

I'm looking at going into the local GT when it's run this year. I'd like to get a solid list together and start play tetsting it so that I'm very familiar with how it works, its strengths and weaknesses before I have to play it competitively.

Anyway .... here's the list I'm considering. Any positive feedback / constructive criticism would be appreciated.

Etherial
Shas'el (fire kinfe)

Fire Knife x 2
Fire Knife x 2
Stealth Suits x 3

Fire Warriors x 12
+ Ui & BK
+ Dumbfish
Fire Warriors x 12
+ Ui & BK
+ Dumbfish
Kroot x 10
Kroot x 10

Fusion Pirahna
Fusion Pirahna
Pathfinders x 4
+ Ui & BK
+ Dumbfish

Broadsides x 2
+ TL (w/ Target Lock)
+ Shield Drones x 2

1498 points

Tactics.....

There are 2 fire magnets .... Broadsides and Pathfinders (I like pathfinders). I'm thinking I'll deploy them together in some cover (hopefully) with some Kroot to form my "bait" - it's not much of a static firebase anymore .... but it should still do the bait job nicely. The Etherial will be attached to the Broadside squad to make them fearless.

The Piranhas do the mobile tank hunting of anything luck enough to get out of LOS of the Broadsides.

The Fire Knives hunt heavy infantry & high value targets

Fire Warriors pull FoF against suitable targets (with support from the Fire Knives & Stealths if necissary)

Kroot & Stealths infiltrate in to either bolster my lines of defense (around the bait) or to keep enemy infiltrators away from my army.

I'm not too sure what a BK is, don't have my codex handy as I'm at a friend's. Personally I love static firebases as it makes great use of the 30" the Fire Warriors get, and then if the target gets too close, jump forward and rapid fire. That's just me though, Dumbfishes might work for you.

Another thing is that if you know your Broadside will be a fire magnet, why are you putting your Ethereal in his squad?

Fire Knives are cool, I guess. I prefer Helios, but to each's own.

Not a bad list, but I don't think it'll compete that well in a GT. It'll be fun to play though, no matter which side, I'll give it that.

Bk stands for bonding knife. I also agree that this list could be made more competitive to deal with the other lists you will be facing. I know most people swear by fireknives, but I find twinlinked missile pods better. Maybe try two helios and 2 fireknife for those marines.

Meep-I hope you are talking about THIS YEARS GT!!!!

Those Tau of yours are painted wonderfully-but will they be ready??????

Looking forward to crushing your army Sir, Hurrr.

I am up for as many practice games as you like, so let me know mate.

**Grimaldi**

Seems risky to have all of your AT firepower in one unit, but I with the shield drones and ethereal it should be fairly tough to shoot up.

**Tacobake**

Full squads of pathfinders seem much more useful to me.
