Im not sure that you really gain much from the firewarriors, I think you may be best dropping one unit of them, swapping the other two units for more sniper kroot [who will let you take down enemy broadsides, riptides, nid MC's, daemon MC's].

With the spare points from losing that one FW unit id swap out the hammerhead for another Riptide as it does all the jobs a hammerhead does but its way more durable and just better all round IMO. Its ordnance is better at horde busting and its almost as good at AV14 killing thanks to that mobile fusion gun on it. Plus it can line break/ deny objectives etc.

Should I buy another Riptide The strength 9 large pie plates of death have been helpful. Only reason why I added the Hammerhead back in was to deal with heavy armoured armies.

I was thinking of more kroot. Couldn't really decide. I was also thinking of a devilfish as well. I might do 3 squads of 13 kroot and 2 squads of 12 fire warriors.

I might drop 2 pathfinders, so I can add a bit more troops.

I'll think about a third tide. I'll proxy it and see how it works out.
