give the commander drone controller with 2 marker drones instead of gun.

Drop the Iridium and give Him Command and Control node also.
Twinlinks all your shots.

can't say anything about the new space marines i haven't seen the codex.

Not sure if in the new codex this has changed but razorback can only carry 6 marines, might have been up'ed to 10 but not sure :s

If you wanted the razorback, I would cut the tac squad to 5 marines and put Cato with them in the razorback,

Then add an extra guy to the stern guard and put them in a land raider crusader or redeemer?

I agree about the fire warriors though, them guys can really shoot some troops down before they get to you

Only my opinion though, if you have all these models already, try a few games maybe?

My bad, they were both on my list, just forgot to re-write them here.
About the markers, how would you use them instead of the guns ? They are part of the same unit as the commander and riptide.

New SM codex is basically the same as before with very slight cheaper points and the addition of the new AA vehicles (skyfire str7 ap2 armorbane, if you miss the missile locks and hits in subsequent turns on a 5+)

Huh i guess they got rid of networked marker lights.
Try this then.
Drop the drones and see if you have enough for a pathfinder team. i don't see the value of the gun drones other then to eat up wounds.

You re right about the gun drones, even if they are pretty cheap their range means that, if I use them, im startig to be in trouble and that wont make a difference.
I ll change them for shield drones
