Why did you take a list with so few activations?
8 activations on the ground is notably low for 3k, let alone 4k.
Your list is a long way from being optimised for tournament play, as you intended, IMO.
A quick bit of mental arrithmatic: was your opponent only playing 3800pts or did I count wrong? Or are there hydras you've not noted down? His list doesn't look great either IMO... 9 on ground activations is again what you'd expec at 3k for a steel legion list.
As an aside, at 4k the first thing I'd take with the current Skitarii list would be 4 warhounds with Turbolaser & Plasma.
Hm. There are rather few cheap formation available to buff the ground activation count; Plain Skitarii seems a bit lacklustre, Ordinati are expensive from the get go, and Robots are unreliable...
There were Guard Hydras, I've updated the batrep. Only three, so yes, he was starting 50 point low. I didn't check his math

I have a few Warhounds; I can try those next time. I only have three, though.
How would you do a 4K competitve list?
