Hello,

After my first attempt, I switched a few things around. I already posted this on the other board, but I'd really like some more feedback. The only difference between my current list and this one is I split the fire warriors squads into six six man squads, instead of three twelve men squads.

HQ 1: Shas'o Commander
Missile Pod, Plasma Rife, Multi-Tracker Total: 112
[size=7pt] A basic Command unit. I'd really like to free up five points and give him Stimulant injector, to make him a real thorn in the enemies thigh. [/size]

Elite 1: Crisis Battlesuit Squad (3)
Missile Pod, Plasma Rifle, Multi-Tracker Total: 186
[size=7pt] Anti-tank and heavy infantry. [/size]

Stim is not going to help your commander, i dont know who you play but my commanders always get a lascannon in the face even with a good cover save i still seem to fail and die in 1 shot. You need to bond your Crisis suits unless you wana see them brake and run away. Flamer is totally useless take burst cannons at the least. If you get that close its not going to matter what you have your going to be dead. Bond your firewarriors unless you really want that one guy that could have won the game break and run off the board. Iv seen it happen time and again 1 guy has won the game for me many times. Really your not going to give yoru HH Multitracker are you retarded or something? Lacking any kind of kroot..... To much points invested in heavy Support. OK you have 3 squads that can clame table quarters....... Are you playing 5th edition even? Unless your playing annihalation on pitchbattle i dont see this list winning. I would make one of the crisis suits TL Fussian TA and if your giong to run anti horde suits use Stealth Suits or Plasma/BurstCannon or MP/Burst Cannon.

um, unnecessarily harsh here I think! Its not a bad list and seems quite versatile to me.

Stim injector is always useful for when you are confronted by lots of small arms fire, or attacked in CC by a foe without Powerweapons/Rending etc.

The Flamers on the suits are obviously there to keep points down and provide extra close range fire. However, I would be tempted to replace them with BS filters - a point cheaper and could keep those MP's Firing in the event of night fighting (your Fire Warriors and HH's (submunition) should provide plenty of anti light infantry).

Your Fire Warriors are a bit static, and I would be tempted to drop one set of the suits and get your self at least 1 DF transport (can really help with objective scoring) - also you might want to consider spending the left over points on another troops choice, maybe drop your FW teams down to 10 men and invest in another unit of 10 - or even some Kroot (Here I am biased, I love the Kroot - in an unusual and degenerate way!), with cover saves and OF they have become even more useful - and could provide you with a bit of CC/countercharge action.

Your Hammerheads are set up well, not sure you really need the Target Lock - but that depends what role you have in mind for them on the battlefield - its sometimes worth spreading the pain. With the new LOS rules it may be worth dropping the SMS and going with the standard burst cannons, 2 more shots per turn (same Strength) and half the Pt's cost. If you dropped both SMS and TL your HH's would be a respectable 165 Pt's.

Seems to me it would be a good list to play against "Nidzilla" or a Tank heavy army - the main things I would be tempted to change are squeezing in another Troops Choice, and making them a little more mobile.

Good Luck with it
