I just played a game with a friend to test out a list I'm interested in trying. I also obtained some Broadsides from him to use with this list. After the game, I tweaked the list and came up with the following:
Detachment 1: Hunter Contingent
Core: Hunter Cadre
Command:
Commander: 2x Missile Pod, Drone Controller, Target Lock, Iridium Suit, 1x Marker Drone
Elites:
XV8 Crisis Team: 1 suit, Fusion Blaster, TL Fusion Blaster
Troops:
Strike Team: 5 men
Strike Team: 5 men
Strike Team: 5 men
Fast Attack:
Pathfinders: 4 men
Heavy:
KV128 Stormsurge: 1 model, Pulse Driver Cannon, TL Airbursting Frag Projector, Early Warning Override, Shield Generator
Auxiliary: Firebase Support Cadre
XV104 Riptide: 1 model, Heavy Burst Cannon, TL Smart Missile System, Early Warning Override
XV88 Broadsides: 2 models, each with High-Yield Missile Pod, TL Smart Missile System, Early Warning Override
XV88 Broadsides: 2 models, each with High-Yield Missile Pod, TL Smart Missile System
Auxiliary: Optimized Stealth Cadre
XV95 Ghostkeel: 1 model, Cyclic Ion Raker, TL Fusion Blaster, Early Warning Override
XV25 Stealth Team: 3 models, 1x Fusion Blaster
XV25 Stealth Team: 3 models, 1x Fusion Blaster
Detachment 2: Formation Detachment: Drone-Net VX1-0
4 Marker Drones

Can't take a Drone Net formation in a Hunter Contingent? No problem, I'll just add one on the side! It doesn't benefit from the HC's benefits, but then marker drones don't directly benefit anyway. The HC units can still share the markerlights. The FBSC is intended to help deal with big things like Imperial Knights and Eldar Wraithknights, which have proven troublesome to me in the past. I only had enough points to take EWO one one unit of Broadsides; fortunately I think I have enough other Interceptor that it won't be a problem. It was a challenge to shoehorn in a FBSC and an OSC, but I think I'm more ready for anything with both formations in the army. The Pathfinders and Strike Teams are literally just tax units; they could be useful for the combined fire benefit of the Hunter Contingent though. The Fusion Crisis suit is just there to kill a tank or something and then get horribly killed. I'm open to ideas for small tweaks to the list to optimize it further.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700
