The Pask punisher also doesnt really need multi melta. you either shoot at infantry with it and waste the mm shots, or you shoot at vehicles and waste the punisher shots.

Also, your list is only 1765 points. Perhaps get an a master of ordonance and officer of the fleet for you ccs if you must take it.

You haven't hear of the euro pask build have you? A punisher cannon with pasks rending can hit up to AV 14. So you can go full on infantry with it, or full on tank.

Secondly, I'm not incredibly concerned about fliers. Mainly just ignore them and punish the enemy.

Also how'd you figure the points? I had myself slated at 1850.

pask is fine imo.

however, i don't think you should be running las cannons on normal infantry squads. switch them to auto cannons, or make them vets with las.

Also, why MM on eradicator? This thing is anti-horde. You should be rocking HB's all the way (possibly PC).

And why a naked CCS? I'd drop a squad of infantry and give the CCS an Aquila, and preferred enemy your guardsman swarms / bane blade. Hide the CCS in a chimera or behind a tank out of LOS.

And try to fit an Aegis Defense line in. It will be impossible to find that much cover for your guardsmen. This could also be the solution to AA w/ a quad gun.

Overall how you have it now is pretty decent. The above are just tweaks.

4 Autocannon is not thta bad against flyers. Give them prescience, and they even hit them. Pask can feth up everything. With prescience it can feth up flyers even more.

4 Autocannon is not thta bad against flyers. Give them prescience, and they even hit them.

Without prescience, its 1 and 1/3 hits pet turn. Against AV 12, that's 0.22 glances and 0.22 pens per turn (of all 4 squads shooting the flyer). Not very good odds.
With, it's 2 and 2/5 hits per turn. Against AV 12, that's 0.4 glances and 0.4 pens per turn (of all 4 squads shooting the flyer). Still not good odds, considering you just wasted 240 points of shooting.

Aegis and Quad gun will solve your problems, or a Vendetta.

I originally had the MM options to give it reach on tanks if I needed it. I do however like the plasma cannon sponsons instead.

The naked CCS was just for senior officer orders.
