Originally I ran a list similar to this, but in place of the riptide I had a FW and gun drone squad. Instead of bravestorm I ran a commander with identical loadout (with 2x plasma though) to accompany the gun drone squad.

Opinions are always welcome, for the most part I've tested list (aside from the changes I mentioned) and it performs quite well. Bravestorm may look like a point sink at first, but I've run similar commanders who are able to tank massive amounts damage (I'm not a fan of paying for his 2 drones, but they will help further increase the survivability).

Toned down the riptide and my first crisis team had its 2x missile pods reduced to TL missile pods (statistically I'll still hit with roughly the same amount of missiles.

The advantage to the cost cutting is that I've been able to fit in a 5th scoring unit who can provide long range support - I gain back 1 of the 3 missile pods I cut and gained 2 markerlights (which I was lacking).
