If you are worried about DSing, why not just add an EWO to the Riptide?

Thanks for showing me. I fixed my math. I have reposted the properly calculated list along with adding an early warning override to my riptide.

I actually never noticed that, even though i've looked through the whole book several times. I only have one riptide in my army. Do you think one riptide with interceptor is enough to hold back a deep striker or two?

I am not familiar with the meta of where I play but I have a strong feeling i'm going to see deep strikers quite often. As for fliers i'm sure i'll see them occasionally. I know for a fact my friend will be running a Storm Raven in his Grey Knight army.
