Right. Having browsed though the forums, I've come up with something I think is an acceptable start...

HQ:
Shas'el Battlesuit Commander @ 97 Pts: Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Targeting Array, Hardwired Multi-Tracker

Elites:
XV8 Crisis Suit Team @ 62 Pts: 1 XV8 Crisis Suit
Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker

XV8 Crisis Suit Team @ 62 Pts: 1 XV8 Crisis Suit
Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Multi-Tracker

Stealth Team @ 120 Pts: 3 Stealth Suits
Burst Cannon, Targeting Array

Troops:
Fire Warrior Squadron @ 220 Pts: 10 Fire Warriors
Devilfish: Smart Missile System, Multi-Tracker, Decoy Launchers, Targeting Array.

Kroot Carnivore Squad @ 70 Pts: 10 Kroot

Heavy Support:
Hammerhead Gunship @ 180 Pts: Railgun, Smart Missile System, Multi-Tracker, Target Lock, Decoy Launchers

Hammerhead Gunship @ 180 Pts: Railgun, Smart Missile System, Multi-Tracker, Target Lock, Decoy Launchers

Total Cost: 991

I've taken the Targeting Arrays on the Stealth Suits to see how the "Accuracy Over Numbers" philosophy plays out, but I could always drop them and take another suit...

You need more stealths, more fire warriors. And don't use Fireknife on your suits, they should specialise, either deathrain or helios are the ones I have found to be most useful.

Hmm...

With regards to this list, I'm up against all kinds of other armies, and with Fireknives being the most versitile (so I've heard), I figure I'll keep them for now.

I've got pleanty of options though...I could

- Drop the Stealth Team and the Kroot for a 6 Fire Warrior ''Fish of Fury' squad.

- Drop the Stealth Team, Kroot, and 4 Fire Warriors for another XV8 Crisis Suit and 6 Fire Warrior ''Fish of Fury' squad.

- Drop a Hammerhead (Which I'm loath to do), for more Stealth Suits.

Would Bladestorm (Burst Cannon/Plasma Rifle) Suits work as well?

[ForbiddenKnowledge]

No. The problem here is, your suits should not be trying to be effective against everything. I know you say you are up against everything, but your suits being set to handle everything is not the answer. Bladestorm is worse, as you will be pumping your anti MEQ firepower into hordes, etc etc. Your suits must specialise, I cannot stress this enough, to make them versatile, they lose a lot of efficiency. Get more stealths, and firewarriors, which must be full squads, and make the suits your anti MEQ - so helios, or twin plasma (sunforge?).
