Here we go! Between the Forgeworld update and 6th edition let's see what I can do now. It isn't anything special, but I'm looking forward to using it on Thursday...
HQ
• Crisis Suit Commander w/Missile Pod, Mulit-Tracker, Plasma Rifle, Shield Drones (x2)
• Ethereal w/Blacksun Filter, Shield Drones (x2)
Elites
• 3 XV8s w/Missile Pod, Multi Tracker, Plasma Rifle
Troops
• 10 Fire Warriors, Shas'ui w/Markerlight, in a Devilfish w/Sensor Spines
• 10 Fire Warriors, Shas'ui w/Markerlight, in a Devilfish w/Sensor Spines
• 12 Kroot
Fast Attack
• Tetra Scout Speeder w/Blacksun Filter, Targeting Array
Heavy Support
• 3 XV88s
• Hammerhead w/Seeker Missiles (x2)
• Hammerhead w/Seeker Missiles (x2)
This list plays out in a pretty straightforward way: Ethereal with the the Broadsides so they don't run off the board (that's why he's got the blacksun filter), XV8 commander hangs out with the Crisis Team. Fire Warriors grab objectives. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Tetra can do as a markerlight platform. I've got seeker missiles to help me kill vehicles... so the hammerhead railguns can kill the delicious, squishy infantry inside.

I would drop one Hammerhead for Sniper Drone Team, and then spend the rest of the points on more suits.

It seems to be that Ethereals are finally worth it though only when they die. Preferred Enemy on Firewarriors makes them much better.

Man, that's almost all the suits I own! Right now - thanks in part to an awesome (free) windfall at my FLGS, I own 7 XV8s and 4 XV88s.

Might want to throw some stabilizers on those Broadsides... wait... what does Relentless do in this edition? Originally Posted by ElectricPaladin

stabilizers are great now that slow and purposeful is no longer moving through difficult terrain, allows broadsides their movement to get fire lanes
