Thanks in advance!

I like the first list a lot more, going off the idea that you really want a fusion blades commander, I think making all the drones marker drones and having 20 of them you'll be fine without having a "drone" commander as well.

I've made some changes to the list, biggest to note is

- Just 1 commander
- 30 kroot to bubble wrap
- another riptide (if you wanted you could put this guy in the riptide wing in a squad with target lock, change 1 squad of kroot back for 15 points and buy a 23 point crisis suit to fill the spot)
