So split them up so your opponent have to use more fire to get them down, and so you are able to shoot on 3 targets each turn, nothing feels as wasted as loosing a battle because your tank destroyer was out of targets.

I have never played nor touched a riptide, but with how many points it cost, 18% of your army would I say that you should take it out and set something else in in its place, I do know that it is a big and nice figure, but in my eyes are it simply too costly on this point level.

And lastly, what role do you count on your commander to take? Because right now do I see 2 different weapons combos with three fully different roles, meaning that you always would waste something. None the less would I say that you should take the stimulant controller to him, it is 15 points more on an expensive leader sure, but having the improved Armour will it sure help you with keeping him even longer alive, and with toughness 5 are sudden death a rather rare thing so far I know, Str 10 is after all rather hard to find]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581118/6563717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581118/6563717.page GMT
I personally like running firing squad lineups at such a short amount of points. If it were me I'd drop down to one broadside, get more fire warriors and a devilfish or two. You definitely need at least one devilfish to move your Fire Warriors into position to hold objectives. After all that is what Fire Warriors are really for haha. Adding a Devilfish allows the Fire Warriors to advance with your crisis teams to the neutral objective.

Doomande was right on the money with the commander assessment as well. You really want to figure out a role for him and get it going. Though if you do switch to a firing squad then an Ethereal or even a Cadre would be a good choice to attach to your forward Warriors to give them more punch.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581118/6563814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581118/6563814.page GMT
