As with Warhounds, there's pretty much no reason to tie these together.
Well they are more vulnerable to fire and assaults (than Warhounds). More so as they cannot hide. But asaura needs to comment on that as I didn't play Tau.
This was the first time I've used Morays. Initially, I thought I'd go with separate formations, but I hated the idea of again fielding a Crisis+SC as the BTS objective. He gets whacked and then I'm up frightful creek. Having both the Morays in one formation made them the BTS target.
It worked, too, in a way...
I made one big blunder in the setup. It was ignoring the potential supporting fire + BM from Hena's land speeders. I'm used to always having a screen of scouts to prevent that, but this time I decided not to deploy a solid screen. This proved extremely costly, as we shall see.
The second blunder was intermingling the Crisis suits with the RG Hammerheads. I felt they could withstand an air assault, what with the overwatching Firewarriors and everything. In reality, they just made for a fatter target. I should've avoided this by setting up in wider zone, so that no-one would be intermingled.
