Look, I know it’s sub optimal, I’m not going in with the intention of an overwhelming victory and I know we’re going to struggle when they hit me in melee. 

**I don’t have any more Crisis suits**, just the one set, I DO wanna try out the ‘oops all Battlesuit’ loadout though. 

We’ve had 3/4 battles now and I’ve either used Mont’ka or Kauyon and I do tend to win somehow. 

My plan is to use the strike team as my screen with the pathfinders holding back the green tide and use my tanks and suits to shoot over the top into large groups of boys and his vehicles. 

We’re playing for the first time at his LGS too so I’ll have lots of room to ingress and flank. 

I can’t help thinking commanders on their own are useless but a Coldstar with 4x burst cannons, increased AP within 8”, Strats for sustained hits 2 into a 20 mob and ingress within 6” PLUS uppy-downy, it’s gotta be something. 

My plan was to go full flamers with Farsight for that sweet auto hit and dangerous overwatch threat and free Strat but I think the AP2 Burst cannons are the way to go with possible sus1 or 2. 

Markerlights mean spotters won’t be an issue but maybe AP1 twin linked carbines would be better? I dunno, for me, they never do any reliable work. 

What do you guys think? It’s gonna be fun either way.. right?
