Fire Support Cadre is flat out dumb I'm sure we all agree. So let's make Eldau even more silly... So I thought what's the best troops choice in the game that can also deal with AV14 (the one thing the Cadre can't reliably hurt). So Wave Serpents top the list and some Wraithguard to help out:

Spiritseer 70

Wraithguard: Serpent: HF, SL, SC 305
Wraithguard: Serpent: HF, SL 295
DA: Serpent: HF, SL, SC 210
DA: Serpent: HF, SL, SC 210

Riptide: Ion, SMS, EWO 190

2 Broadsides: HYMP, EWO, 4 Missile drones 188
2 Broadsides: HYMP, EWO, 4 Missile drones 188
2 Broadsides: HYMP, EWO, 4 Missile drones 188

What do you think? 4 Serpents a Riptide and 6 Broadsides! That's 48 S7 shots with tank hunters (and PE space Marines) plus another on average 14 tw/ linked S7 from the Serpents. 25 S6 shots all tw/l and 28 S5 tw/l ignores cover tank hunter shots!! Plus 10 S10 AP2 and a S8 AP2 Large blast
