So... any thoughts at all are appreciated

122 + HQ
122 - Shas'o w/ Plasma rifle, missile pod, multitracker, and stimulant injector

If your playing static you need two commanders. I run two Shas'O's but its up to you which you wish to take. If your going to have 2 weapon systems then go for Shas'El's. I take 3 weapons on both my Shas'O's and that why I don't use Shas'Els.


226 + Elites
120 - 4 Stealth Suits
53 - Crisis suit w/ TL missile pods and targeting array
53 - Crisis suit w/ TL missile pods and targeting array

You need AP, I'd go fireknife with Targetting array upgraded to team leaders. It gives you a chance at hurting marines.

809 + Troops
150 - 12 Fire Warriors w/ Shas'ui equipped w/ markerlight, HW target lock, and bonding knife
150 - 12 Fire Warriors w/ Shas'ui equipped w/ markerlight, HW target lock, and bonding knife
150 - 12 Fire Warriors w/ Shas'ui equipped w/ markerlight, HW target lock, and bonding knife
205 - 12 Fire Warriors in Devilfish w/ decoy launchers
70 - 10 Kroot
84 - 12 Kroot

Nice, a lot of troops.


340 + Heavy Support
180 - Hammerhead w/ railgun, SMS, decoy launchers, multitracker, and target lock
80 - Broadside w/ HW multitracker and either ASS or TA (jury is still out on this one)
80 - Broadside w/ HW multitracker and either ASS or TA (jury is still out on this one)
Hmmm, your XV88's are easy pickings. You actually have very little anti tank, a static list needs to have its XV88's working. I would drop one of your firewarrior squads and get 2 XV88's in both squads. The ASS is great, don't worry about targetting array. Upgrade one in each sqaud to a team leader and take a couple of shield drones, bonding knife and a hard wired target lock.

That will give you 5 rail shots that can move and shoot and fire at 5 different targets.

Hope that helps.
