Here's some brief thoughts on it via podcast. Overall I tabled 5 opponents in a row and barely lost a dozen models including Yuan Yuan. I would deploy a link, keeping Rui shi in reserve. And then counter deploy the Ruishi and combine it with the Krakot/Yuan Yuan/Jager to over run entire DZ/flanks.

Sweet list, also gratz on wrecking face! As someone who's new to Ikari it's cool seeing a Druze link. I'm always weary of taking them cause they seem highly costed for 1 wound models, but their potential seems amazing. Also I like your straightforward approach of: Here's my Rui Shi, you're dead now!
Hey man! Yeah so their 1 wound is a huge issue even in DBS themselves. I usually held them in reserve and used the other models int he list as a kind of buffer between them so they could advance to the midfield un molested. So all the AD/ruishi would have to be in the middle and kind of locking it down in the meantime to give the Druze some room to move up and take objectives. Otherwise they just get chain rifled off the board most of the time.
Cool, good fun list. Ikari are great when you get to roll dface. I had a bad run of initiative rolls in my last event and ended up in LoL two out of three games!!
I enjoyed your rundown of your tournament games! Do you have your other list handy? I've been trying to figure out how to stuff Scarface into an Ikari list myself but haven't had much luck.
Nope! Just no painted models! JwBgLAPgzCIRAmKBSAjOAbMqAOMB2ZAQlWDXAWz0pJHJipAFZjL0FVt8wsjD3KUfE15hyCLEJw5iY9pPw4yJcWKH5ORBP2Z1cTGp3Zr8+FAAE2IDlwPFUckEKoIxJK1Ba5S9j15w+5uZAA== Thanks for the comments guys!
Hey, first off, thanks a lot for sharing, and congrats on your success! I am curious as to how the Rui Shi performed without Assisted Fire, apparently well enough for you not to miss it :) Also, were you tempted to try and cram in an engineer in case of an unlucky FTF or crit? Then I found it cool to see the Jäger employed, it just saved my bacon in a recent game Did you find the submachine loadout good? What made you pick the Krakot with just 1 submachine gun with 10 Pts left over? And finally, may we see a pic of your victorious strike force? Thanks!
Yo, Rui Shi was fine as long as you picked on targets out of cover/without SSLVL2. No on engineer, had more fleshy things for a doctor and the Ruishi was just a throw away unit to me. SMG is the best loadout imo. The shock and suppression fire ability are too good to waste orders with. Honestly the Krakot was a meme pick with the SMG. Didn't really look at the other options. Just needed more suppressing units in the DZ to waste orders.
