Just wondering why you suggest Yarrick in this case?

OT: Well you defenitely have alot of HWS. I'd suggest putting them all on a the landing pad for a 4++. It'll keep them alive longer. Also I'd replace a CCS for a LC as he'll keep HWS in place with his leadership bubble. Just imo.

Thanks for catching the psykers. Also, thanks for the tip about the lc. Let me add up the points after I correct the psykers and see. Really appreciate the feedback.

Try this out, I doubt I'll get around to the project, priests go with the conscripts and they act as dirt cheap fearless objective holders. Psyker or inquisitor prescience the executioner while the other does the main unit. You can drop the sentinel for more mastery levels but for the most part this is a rock with lots of forward elements. And it can deal with Av 13 and 14.

Yarrick can hide in units while buffing them, and all units within 12" of him don't take morale tests from shooting, so 90% of the time you aren't rolling Ld tests in the shooting phase and if you do its Ld 10 with a reroll. In assaults you are Ld 10 stubborn with a reroll, you aren't going any where. And he issues senior officer orders that work on Ld10, its like adding a command squad to a blob squad that cant easily be picked out. Oh and he gets back up on a 3+ so that's warlord denial right there. Its all gravy with Yarrick

Just curious, what are the commissars going to be attached to? Are all three going to be beneficial? Dropping two would make up for the point error on the psykers, and allow special weapons to be taken in the PCS and infantry squads.

Well per advice I ended up putting a Lord commissar in the list and using him to anchor the 3 hwt on the skyshield.

The second commissar was with the 20 man infantry squad. He kept them from running as well.

Oh, when I changed it up, I added a demolitions squad, they worked well, but I will add meltaguns and a chimera next time.
