If you're not giving your Crisis team leader any extra equipment then why bother getting one at all?The point of getting one IS to load an extra hardpoint of stuff on him.Loading Shield Drones on your Shas'O means he loses his independent character status,so you gotta be careful with that.It's up to you if you want more Fire Warriors,I play Mech Tau,and I do so even in 1000 points,although truth be told since I can't afford to mount both FW squads in Devilfishes in 1000 points my 1k points army plan is more of Hybrid Mech.I feel it's kinda wasted if you have 2 Markerlights for just a single Seeker Missile,in fact I think in 1000 points Seeker Missiles and Markerlights are a luxury you can barely afford.But that's also up to you.
