so stick the fireblades with the signature system in the droneport so its drones hit their marker lights on 2+ put 1 unit of the fire warriors in there too and the bombers speak for them selfs.
for the 1750 point list take out the riptide and add 4 more fire warriors just to round up the points a bit.
anyway thanks for reading this and any fed back is great good or bad thanks
That airwing detatchment is deadly! That is a very powerful element of your army...and visually will look great. I think you list looks fine...wouldn't really change anything. I would go ahead with it...but be prepared to make some small changes after a few games. Its only after a few battles you begin to see what can be enchanced:)
thank luke on a side note have you looked at getting a tiger shark fighter bomber or 2 yourself? i came across them while looking for a way to have some heavy firepower without worrying about marker lights
Yeah I've always like the model! Maybe one day! Would be handy in an apoc game too!:)
