Hey everyone,
I was just checking out my collection and was thinking of using this 1500 point list. I don't actually have any pathfinders so I am getting my marker lights from markerdrones which I find is fine just for non competative play.
Just want to know if this list would fair pretty decent? I think it will do not bad any suggestions would help tho

HQ
Commander
2 plasma
Iridium Battlesuit
Shield Gen
2 Marker drones
197 Points

Troops
8 Firewarriors 72
8 Firewarriors 72
8 Firewarriors 72
16 Kroot - Sniper Rounds 112

Elites
3 XV8's each with
2 Plasmas
2 Marker Drones
Target Lock
261

3 XV8's each with
2 Missile pods
2 Marker Drones
Target Lock
261

Fast Attack
Piranha 40

Heavy
Hammerhead
Longstrike
TL SMS Drones
Disruption pod
185

2 XV88 Broadsides each with
Shield Generator
2 Missile Drones
228

Total Points value is 1500

Now I have 3 stealth suits left which I would like to take over the piranha but would have to make room for them somehow any suggestions? Maybe not taking longstrike?
Will this list be pretty decent?
Thanks!

By my math your crisis and HQ cost more than listed, unless you have drone controllers or something, which makes sense(but the crisis teams can't take them and a target lock)

I strongly dislike shield generators. They are highway robbery, and almost never worth it. Use drones for ablative wounds. On your commander, just take stim injectors, which increase your durability against any non S10 hit, and the few that do hopefully can be look out sired. I also assume he has a drone controller.

Troops are fine, but maybe a hound for the kroot? Even if you are not planning to outflank, it is handy just in case, and nothing wrong with I5 and a bullet sponge.

I assume your plan is to use the target lock to get the unit to shoot one thing, the drones to shoot another?

Longstrike is all but required on a railhead. Submunitions are also a good buy if you need the anti horde.

By dropping the shield generators(and the extra points I assume you are spending on drone controllers and 'vre upgrades) you should be able to sneak in a stealth team. A couple kroot here and there if you want toys.
