You would probably do well with units of 1 crisis with duel FB and DS them behind the knights with the threat of missiles in front.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6686360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6686360.page GMT
Never give crisis suits two weapons with different ideal targets. Example the plasma rifle's ideal target is a terminator, a fusion blaster's ideal target is a tank. It is okay to have squads with mixed weapons, but ideally those are fielded like this.

Crisis Suit: 2x Plasma Rifle
Crisis Suit: 2x Plasma Rifle
Crisis Suit: 2x Fusion Blaster, Target Lock

This way the plasma rifles can be used on heavy infantry, and the fusion blasters can be used on tanks.

Marker drones should not be used with anything, but pathfinders. In crisis teams the marker lights cannot be used by the team itself. the marker lights fire at the same time as the crisis suits, and the marker light tokens must be used before you roll to shoot, so they cannot benefit from any tokens put their by their own squad. Also nine times out of ten your suits will kill what they shoot at, so no one else will benefit from them either.

Aside from that cool list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6686371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6686371.page GMT

Riptide (TLFB, ION,VT, EWO) w/ 2 SMDs
Crisis (PR, FB) w/ 3 shield drone - I mix them since I want to have some anti-tank and generally a FB is just as good as a PR for infantry since I don't want to be within 12"

I suggest taking squads of three crisis suits armed with two fusion blasters. You might even want to take up to 6 gun drones or shield drones in each squad to maximize the survivability of your special weapons. Just remember to keep the drones between you and the IKs. You might also consider taking team leaders with the crisis teams as this will raise your leadership to 9.

Never forget that your models only have to have 1 and 15/16ths of an inch between them to be in coherence. If you keep them spread out the IK player should never be able to get more than 4-5 hits per large blast template.

Broadsides are a bad Idea vs IK, bring a hammerhead if you want to accomplish something. Riptides are a good bet, though I question whether the heavy burst cannon might actually be better against IK than the ion accelerator.

I adamantly stick to my position that mixing weapons on a crisis team is a mistake. You are choosing to make a perfectly decent unit sub par, but then this is your choice to make.

Good Luck man, and long live the greater good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687570.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687570.page GMT I would also suggest fusion blasters as others have said. Also I think the broad sides with rail rifle looks pretty good as well. Any pens that get through will be ap1 so increases your chance of the extra d3 hull points taken off with explosions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687594.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6687685.page GMT
I would take the following:

Farsight primary detachment:
Commander:
Fusion blaster x2, talisman of arthas moloch, target lock, drone controller

Crisis Team #1:
3x suits w/:
Fusion blaster x2, target lock, gun drone x2

Crisis Team #2:
3x suits w/:
Missile pods x2, early warning override, gun drone x2

Crisis Team #3:
3x suits w/:
Missile pods x2, early warning override, gun drone x2

Riptide #1:
ion accelerator, twin-linked fusion blaster, vector tracker, early warning override, shielded missile drones x2
(Insert Tau detachment commander here)

Riptide #2:
heavy burst cannon, twin-linked fusion blasters, vector tracker, earth cast pilot array

Pathfinders:
x6

Tau secondary detachment:
Commander:
Iridium armor, shield generator, stimulant injector, drone controller, command and control node, multi-spectrum systems suite, puretide engram neurochip

Kroot:
x10 w/ hound

Kroot:
x10 w/ sniper rounds

Pathfinders:
x6

This list should be more than capable of dealing with a great many types of lists and should make short work of knights.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6688162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587790/6688162.page GMT
