I have CDO, it's OCD but in alphabetical order the way it should be!

I like the list. Mostly

I feel like you should switch the EWO and velocity trackers between the riptide and the broadsides.  The riptides ion accelerator is a better weapon for taking out space marines in a drop pod or jump/jet pack troops deep striking. Especially with it's huge range.  The riptides low BS will mean that you're not doing much damage to fliers.  Put it on your broadsides and they can overwhelm a flier with the number of missiles they fire.

As for the remainder of your points: Either a gun drone to go with your fireblade or an extra pathfinder. I am surprised you haven't put EMP grenades on any of your firewarriors.

Personally I'd probably change the body guard squad to a normal crisis squad. Its 10pts cheaper per model and the only difference is the free look out sir whoch can be fixed by putting him behind the squad of 3 suits. Or just take out the body guards all together and add a Riptide cause at 1850 u should have 2 :)
