Just throwing this out there to see what people think of it. Haven't playtested it yet, and it's a bit of an experiment into the new codex, partly to see if I can make a Crisis-heavy list work. For frame of reference, it's designed to be a general take-all-comers list, keeping in mind the possibility of Alpha, Gamma, or Omega games.

Alternatively, instead of the Tetras and Vespids, I'm considering two Sniper Drone teams and twelve Kroot, but they're more static, slowing down the list overall. Also, I'm a bit worried about the Broadsides being the only thing to start on the table in Escalation, but with their ASS, I'm hoping to be able to hide them in the first turn or two if necessary. Any comments would be appreciated.

I haven't looked at the new codex in any detail - but can the team leader buy a targetting array if the squad don't?

yea he can. TA is hardpoint so that guy needs to hardwire his multitracker, but thats the same price now anyway

you can mix stuff like that. the only restriction is on stealths, if one of them uses a hardpoint, they all have to purchase a (any) hardpoint system.

and on broadsides, if you give them A.S.S, they all need it. its optional to use it, but if one of them uses it, they all must use it.

as for the list, sadly the tetra isn't in the codex

Yes, but it is in IA3, and my game group, not to mention most of the tournaments I've gone to have allowed Imperial Armor. If anyone gives me trouble about it, I'll have to insist that they give up their Grot Bombs and Russ variants.

i just tend to put thier face in the IA book (#II) where it says that they are legal GW models
