Another thread Tactics side got me thinking I might want to revisit some more competitive lists after going fun/fluffy for a couple of years. This was partly inspired by watching Nova unfold this year, and realizing that sometimes it might just be better to tie up big death-stars, and dismantle everything else, rather than pouring an entire army, turn after turn, into hopefully doing the job.

So, it features a Canoptek Harvest intended to be that tie up, annoyance, and then a lot of fire-power, and mobility in the form of an Y'vahra, and a Riptide Wing. The rest of the list is sort of secondary, with a Commander and unit of Drones (as the list isn't terribly reliant on Markerlights), and a suicide squad of Fusion Crisis suits to help with match-ups against 4x IK lists, etc...

Thoughts?
