Warriors and ethereal are in the devil fish and play keep away/hide and seek till the last couple rounds and the pathfinders hide behind tanks and tides while they focus fire everything down at range ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553230/6065867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553230/6065867.page GMT
Troops: You need more scoring. A good general rule is 1 troop per 500 pts (so 3 for 1500). Kroot would probably be a good addition here due to their ability to outflank and snipe, which will come in hand against wraiths and GKs. Devilfish are probably not worth their points here, espeically with wave serpents about.

Fast: You're probably good with dropping at least one squad (maybe a couple additional pathfinders)

Heavy: you're heavy on heavy. I'd suggest switching one of the hammerheads for broadsides or using it for increased scoring.

I might get flak for this, but please don't use the word "rape" in that way. Its offensive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553230/6066390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553230/6066390.page GMT

Yeah I know I'm light on the troops I was trying to go a different route with them; a guy can only gun line so much lol.
