   | Hmm, I supose in a combat patrol you might want to have some Kroot in there two. If you dont, you wont have enough stuff to help in close combat. The ting with combat patrols is that they should be flexable and varied.

| The Devil Fish, Fire Warriors, and Kroot put together are a viciouse patrol to face. The Piranha will let you outmanuver all but Space Marines and Eldar and will let you take out enemy transports very quickly. If you can make a force with those four elements in it you will be a feared competitor. I don't know about battle suits in a combat patrol. I have never seen stealth suits in a combat patrol, and you cant use the Broad Side due to it's 2+ save or the Crisis suits due to the multiple wounds.

| You can use the Crisis suits in a combat patrol. Its only models with more than 2 wounds,and/or 2+ saves are baned. I'm not sure what the armor restrictions are tho. I know all the transports make it in but I don't think anything can have more than AV12. |

| I made an example army list if you want to use the Devilfish, Kroot, Fire Warriors, and Piranha: -12 Fire Warriors; Shas'ui, Bonding Knife =135pts -Devilfish; Targeting Array =85pts -15 Kroot =105pts -Piranha; Targeting Array, Disruption Pod, Fusion Blaster =75pts (you didn't say if the Piranha had a fusion blaster, if it hasn't then I just suggest using those extra points giving a Disruption Pod to the Devilfish) TOTAL= 400pts If you want to use the Crisis Suit then someone else will have to chip in because I can never restrain myself when it comes to creating those, I always want one of everything  Peace Out.
