4x4 marker drones

Plan is for the commander to join a unit of drones for some realiable marker lights. 
The army aims to make use of Tau focus from the hunter cadre especially the suits and piranah.
The dawn blade allows me to select a unit i want dead so the rail sides will use this to there advantage.
Bs3 missile drones is not to bad so 2 marker hits will make them a solid firepower unit.

Am i being nieve for taking railsides.

For your elite slot crisis suits, are your shas ui 1 with 2 cib and the other with 2 fusion? or are you putting 4 parts on 3 hard points?

railsides are worse, but do you want to have more fun bringing units you like? or more assurance of victory? Railsides are more fun at taking out special characters with s8 ap1, and i also like them better. But in most game circumstances, the misslessides are better
