dont give your commander a bodyguard unless you really have to, hes better as a IC (and you can attach him to a squad if you must). you should give all the piranhas fusions and give them dl's instead of dp's. dont give firewarriors emps, you wont want them close to anything, let alone a tank. you could also consider having an independant drone squadron instead of sticking them on the suits. also the carbine warriors should be in the fish instead of the rifles due to their shorter ranger. will probably add more later, hope this helps.

To much on the HQ.  The Armor on the IC will slow down the whole squad, making them a shooting magnet, which only he is likely to survieve.  and your IC will only be really good up close.   The drones will overall make it easier to wound the squad.  Plus thiere are too many goodies on the bodyguard, they will be expensive and in-effective.

With the elites, remember its best to specialize them for one specific purpose, thier BS3 is bad, so they wont be great for multi-purpose, and drones will only make it easier to wound them. 

I'm not really sure about the rest, but you have mostly mobile elements, leaving one squad of FWs and Kroot pretty immobile.  I'm not sure how the tatics will work with that.
