SO! Shane & Shippy, not sure if you use this board much. But I thought as we're nearing Jagged we'd better step up the preparation. I won't be at GG Friday as I will be drinking heavily here at College 
I'll see you the next week though before I head home, from there we probably won't meet until Jagged itself.
Perhaps we should get our (or at least my) lists polished for playtesting soon. I've made some largeish changes to my Mechanicon list based on my reflections of list performance.
The usual Shas'O (unfortunately still without the Hit & Run uprade I wanted to get) - 145pts
Crisis Suit w Fusion Blaster, Flamer & Multi-Tracker - 44pts
x3 Fire Warrior Squads with the usual upgrades - 450pts (150 each)
Devilfish w DPod & SMS (unfortunately this will be an ordinary 'fish with no scout move or deep strike aids, but I wanted mobility options) - 105pts
Broadside Shas'vre w Slow But Purposeful, Bonding Knife, Marker Drone & Shield Drone - 140pts
Hammerhead w usual upgrades - 170pts
Skyray w Burst Cannons, DPod & Targetting Array - 145
Total:1199
The Pathfinders, Hammerheads and Crisis suits were underperforming
Vehicles in general were too vulnerable, Markerlights were missing, Anti-Armour was lacking
So I've introduced the Skyray a replacement 'fish, one of my old Sniper'side units and an anti-armour crisis suit (with a flamer for other tasks) to fill the points gap.
Unfortunately in this list there is little in the way of battlesuit support and no deep strike aid from the 'finder 'fish (though with less suits to drop in there is less of a problem.
