Same theme I went for, although my list is quite different.

http://www.cardgamed...-starblaze-r895

I trade Recon Drone and Vash'ya Trailblazer for Iron Guard Recruits and Sanctioned Psyker. The latter are more difficult to kill making them better targets for attachments and they're able to take advantage of Starblaze's ability.

I haven't had time to add the Scion Strike Force yet, but it will find a spot. I'll probably cut either Pathfinder Shi'ores and/or Steel Legion Chimera to make room for them.

Standard Bearer is amazing or sneaking in extra ranged attacks. Especially those with Gun Drones attached.

Galaxy Las-Gun is amazing. It's the gift that keeps on giving and it's absolutely free with an Ambush Platform in play.

You may want to run Catachan Outpost. Great boost for ranged decks.

I would consider the Lasgun and add back in a 2nd Ambush Platform. I think you'll really want to draw it and with the Lasgun you can get 2x uses out of it a turn.

Thanks guys! After I posted this after just throwing the deck together, catachan outpost did come to mind

I totally agree with the 2nd ambush platform and sanctioned psykers

I keep looking at both the las gun and the standard bearer.

Question is...is the las gun or the ion rifle better? I wanna keep the aux armor as thus deck is low on shield's

I don't agree with dropping all recon drones though. I just hate the fact they are limited

I think either go for ambush platforms and ion rifles or Catachans and LasGuns for burst damage.  (even though you cannot ambush in the LasGun, your kinda guaranteed the damage eventually if you keep playing it over and over again.)

Suppression fire is a great card, but if your doing spike damage in ranged, you should be able to deal with whatever your afraid of.  Also, it seems you'd be exhausting a ranged unit to use suppression fire.

Standards are good, ranged gun drones twice seems good..

I also run Promotion so Recon Drone isn't needed for me. But there's nothing wrong with Recon Drone if you prefer it. Solid card.

Gotcha. I think with deck space being so darn tight that I'd rather run ambush platform. But I'm still going to try and fit in the catachan outpost.
The flashlights will just have to be cut.
Flashlights are great on ranged cheap units. You'll boost the damage they do, maybe let them survive multiple rounds and be able to play them again the following round

Put two flashlights in. I'll update the deck later on
