The local game store I play in is starting up a series of mock tournaments in preparation of this years Feast of Blades. There's no way I'll be going to the real one, so participating in this one should be fun. Down side is I'll be playing against some higher tier players who generally do very well at the real event. I need some help refining my list (filling/cutting points, pointing out weaknesses in each) so I don't get completely stomped by their more professional lists.

LIST 1- 1496pts
HQ- Commander (Stim inj, shield gen, CnC node, Puretide chip, MSSS, Iridium Armor)
Elite- Riptide (Ion, SMS, Stim inj, Velocity Tracker)
Stealth Team (6 man, 2 fusion blasters) x 2
Troop- FW team(6 man) x 4
Kroot (10 man) x1
Heavy- Broadsides (2 man, Heavy rail rifles, SMS) x2
ADL

Buffmander sticks with iontide, giving lots of TL and ignore cover goodness, troops walk in or stay hidden til big guns eliminate bigger threats, broadsides and stealth teams eliminate armor and harass infantry.

LIST 2- 1402pts
HQ- Same commander as above
Elite- Riptide (same as above) x3
Troops- FW team (12 man) x4
ADL

Buffmander supports one of the iontides while the other two iontides support fw gunline, owning middle-field. Basically hold my objectives and try to deny opponent theirs from a distance instead of holding all of them.

LIST 3- 1499pts (Farsight Enclaves)
HQ- Commander (Dual missile pods, Drone controller, Stim Inj, Talisman, 2x Marker drones)
Crisis bodyguard team (2 man, dual missile pods, stim inj, 4x marker drones)
Elite- Riptide (Ion, Stim Inj, Velocity Tracker) x2
Troops- Crisis team (3 man, dual missile pods, 2x shield drones) x2
crisis team (2 man, dual fusion blasters, 2x shield drones) x2

Stick to cover, harass infantry, and drop in to blow armor away w/ fusions. Lowest model count, but most maneuverable army as well.

I made a mechanized list with 4 devilfish and 2 skyrays but don't know where I put it. I understand most of these lists (as well as most of what I usually play with) are kinda garbage, but I play for fun and cut throat lists usually don't appeal to me so suggesting O'vesa star isn't what I'm looking for here.
