W...well its very different... but somehow the same. Which I suppose is good! You've got punch everywhere but kept the main essence of your original army. <br /><br />What about dropping the pathfinders down to 7 models saving you 24 points (but not affecting the math!) and giving you what you need to get the SMS. I agree the sky ray SHOULD have it.<br /><br />It's odd, I was using a 5man pathfinder squad today... and maybe it's just me because my pathfinders will nearly always get 3-4 hits! <br /><br />I get the idea of using two pathfinder units but is it the best way to go? I would say YES if you are running smaller units... indeed I might be tempted to go with 2x 4-5 strong units. This makes them less viable targets (no one wants to waste lots of shots to kill them off) but gives you the firepower of one unit. Of course, you need to weigh this up with your ability to sustain markerlights throughout a battle. I've used the small scale twined pathfinders on numerous occassions (at 2000pts) and find they serve me well. <br /><br />The benefit for you would be that you could save potentially a fair whack of points. <br /><br />As a side, have you considered using gun drones on the xv88 rather than the shield drones? your main thing with these guys will be to hug cover anyway so the drones are pretty much just ablative? I dunno, just want to throw that in there to get your thinking going! hehe!<br /><br />I might suggest that the point saving goes towards some punchier weapons for one unit of suits (something to deal quite simply with marines / terminators...) but I can see that your weapons are fixed.<br /><br />I think if nothing else, they need to give you kudos for taking a sky ray to a tournament! so well done!Luis Nieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104268520391688183noreply@blogger.com
