Crisis Suits have a very high and versatile firepower, Broadsides can bring down anything the Crisis Suits can't manage. Thanks to Shield Drones, they also have good, cheap ablative wounds with a good Invulnerable save.

This said, Crisis Suits still are basically just Marines and Broadsides Terminators when it comes to durability (they have more wounds, but are also a lot more expensive). And, while much better in assault than Firewarriors, they still falter there. And since competitive lists are good at dealing with Marines and Terminators, often in ways that cause instant death to T4 models... well, I think perhaps they could make it to tier 3 this way, but that's being generous. And certainly not farther.


I agree on Imperial Guard belonging into the first tier though. That amount of firepower is simply sickening.
