http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k in general. After reading through the rules and codex I came up with the following 2000pts army list.

I'm going to use this as a mostly static army with a few mobile units (mainly my crisis suits). Any input or advice is greatly appreciated.

HQ
XV8 Crisis Commander - 212
- MP + PR
- Target Lock, Drone Controller
- Multi-Spectrum Sensor Suite, Puretide Neurochip, Iridium XV8-02 Battlesuit
- 2x Marker Drone

Ethereal - 50

The idea is that the Ethereal will be supporting my FW troops while the XV8 Commander will move around the table supporting the other units with his support systems and markerlights.

Troops
10x Fire Warriors - 100
- 1x Shas'ui

10x Fire Warriors - 100
- 1x Shas'ui

10x Fire Warriors - 100
- 1x Shas'ui

10x Fire Warriors - 100
- 1x Shas'ui

I don't really like the Kroot Warriors, so I ended up with 4 FW squads, each with a Shas'ui to bump up their Ld.

Elite
3x XV8 Crisis - 207
- TL FB + PR
- 3x Shield Drones

3x XV8 Crisis - 171
- MP + TL PR

XV104 Riptide - 190
- Ion Accelerator + TL SMS
- Counterfire Defence System

I have one specialized Helios XV8 unit to deal with heavy targets. Since they will have to move in closer than the other units I gave them Shield Drones in order to increase their survivability. I also added a generic Fireknive unit to give me a bit of flexibility and support for the other units.

Fast Attack
2x Tetra Scout - 100

6x Pathfinders - 76
- 1x Shas'ui

The Tetra Scouts and the pathfinders are my main markerlight sources. The Tetra's are my mobile markerlight source, while the pathfinder unit will be more static, hiding in good cover / behind the FW gunline.

Heavy
3x XV88 Broadside - 261
- 1x TL Heavy Rail Rifle + TL SMS, Velocity Tracker
- 2x TL High Yield Missile + TL SMS, Early Warning Override
- 3x Missile Drone

Hammerhead - 191
- Railgun + Submunition Rounds + TL SMS
- Disruption Pod, Blacksun Filter
- Longstrike

Hammerhead - 140
- Ion Cannon + TL SMS
- Disruption Pod, Blacksun Filter

Tried to keep the XV88 unit as flexible as possible, thus giving one suit a rail rifle and the two others missiles. Not sure if the missile drones are the best option, maybe better to replace them with shield drones?
Maybe replace the second Hammerhead with a Sky Ray? This will give me an extra markerlight source and some additional points to spend on other stuff.
