1607pts

Farsight, O'Vesa, and the 2 Commanders join up with the Target Lock Crisis team, yes its an expensive mess but I love having O'vesa there to take big shots on the chin, that I can pass shots around like candy thanks to having 4 ICs in the unit. They will deepstrike in, the bonus being that they are scoring and will soak up a ton of shots.

The kroot will infiltrate and the 2 other Crisis teams will deploy as normal and try not to get kilt.Yes there are some major holes in this list, if I am going up against Heldrakes I might as well throw it in, but hopefully the drone Bubble wrapping will help out in that area. I have close to 250pts left to add in, and I am unsure what to add. This is a highly mobile army and unfortunately I have run out of crisis suits, I guess I could always sub older broadsides for regular crisis suits.

your list is very short range, so you might want something like broadsides to sit back and throw out some shots. Otherwise, a unit of pathfinders or marker drones.

remember that your farsight units need to be bonded too (not sure if you included that in your points)

Good catch on the bonding ritual, a unit of pathfinders might help out the other 2 crisis teams, I don't want to be stationary much, I had thought about adding a unit of Broadsides in. I could get 3 with Velocity trackers or 3 with 2x missiles drones a piece with EWO for the remaining points, but need some good cover for them.

I like the idea of not having to defend anything though.

The biggest problem with that unit is that it Majority T4, sacrificing O'Vesa's T6 is a huge shame IMO.

very true, but with 2+ 3+(hopefully with the Earth Caste Pilot array) and 5 wounds and the ability to pass them around he should still be pretty durable as even though its majority toughness for wounds its not for insta kills.
