I didnt attach 2 Drones to the Shas'el so they would still be above 50% with the Drone being killed.
The Broadsides got Shield drones because I made the experience that they are just too vulnerable against Lascannons and the likes. No multiple Targeting because I think 1 killed primary target per round is enough, made the experience that splitting up Fire is of no use... no target lock because either the Rockets or the Big Guns are ineffective versus certaint Troops. Maybe I'll split them up to 2+1 in the list, if the Enemy has many Tanks on the Field.
I like the Idear of Shocking, but I dont want one single Tank in my Army, although the shock-support is nice. If I play Tanks, they come at least in Pacs of 3 (play Mecanized Sisters and Mechanized Swordwind). 1 Tank is too easily destroyed. (at 3k I'd play lots of them though)

The HQ are versus Heavy Infantery (devastateing at 12") and Tanks
Elite vs soft sargets and light vehicles (though 3 flamers will cost some casualties for Marines as well)
Troops vs soft targets
Fast only to irritate my enemy by shocking or to draw Fire from the Shas'el once the Shield Drone is gone
Sniper Teams vs Marines or to spot more important targets for other troops (though 2 Squads of Insects might be more effectice, i dont really like those new troops. Question of Style, I guess...)
Broadside vs Tanks or soft targets

Hope the list is kinda balanced, but I'm not sure if all the Drones are a good idea (especialy with the Single Crisis and Shas'el)

Just another marionette in the puppetry of death.
