the idea here is they have to kill a ton of drones to get you. hoping this list will table/break enemies armies by end of turn 2. hence the fire blades for marker lights instead of pathfinders or firesight marksman (reliable preroll 1's for my commanders.)

its a vicious amount of shooting. I would like to figure out a configuration where I could take the same amount of drones in smaller units but this is what I'm working with for now.

Why do you need so many cadre fireblades?

No idea. I'd drop all of em and get 2 more commanders.

Btw, best commander loadouts are as follows:

3x fusion + Target lock

3x missle pod + Advanced targeting


missle pods are better againgst anything not T7. Fusions for vehicle popping or character sniping.

Actually, there was some fairly extensive mathhammer done early on after the index released, and quad fusion and quad CIB are the most effective options in terms of damage output. Missile pods are way down the list due to how expensive they are. If you're taking them for their range, that's a different story, but I personally would rather have CIBs.
