Default What to do with 163 leftover points for a 2K army?

Hello,

I have a friend who challenged me to a future 2K game. He's using Eldar and I think I have a fairly well rounded army. However, after getting most of the things I like, I still have 163 points leftover to use. Thus, I wish to seek knowledge in what to use those points for; the army I have set up currently is the Hayabusa Cadre in my profile to the left.

The following is what I have left to use:
2 Crisis suits with a variety of weapons to choose from (all of my suits are magnetized)
2 Stealth suits, one is Fusion armed
1 Devilfish shell (need a HH upgrade sprue to get a 2nd Railhead...)
2 Piranhas with Burst cannons
10 Pathfinders (5 Rail Rifle, 5 Markerlight)
A bunch of gun drones
1 Kroot Shaper
3 dozen Firewarriors (mostly rifle, about a dozen or so carbine)
Aun'va (lawl)
1 Broadside suit (with SMS)

Let me know on ideas for this; I'm considering 2 Fireknife suits for longer range infantry busting, but that's still a toss up. I look forward to any ideas.

Sincerely,
BPC

If I was going up against Eldar I would probably bring 2 Ionheads or at least 1 ionhead. Just seems like it would do more verses their vehicles.

Howdy,

I do have 1 Ionhead; sadly it's the only one I have. I foresee that the Railgun will not be as useful as I'd prefer against their vehicles, but I'll also have the submunitions pie plate to drop down on their tastily weak troops. The list below is not what I'm using, but what else I have left to use against my Eldar opponent.

Sincerely,
BPC

I would go with the Pathfinders i think, they give you much needed versatility, most of which will be reducing flat out coversaves and Pathfinder 2+ saves. But you will want to match their accuracy from time to time.
