Purgation squad load out ideas ? I think I need anti infantry in my list as I have a Dk with psi cannon and incinerator and a razorback with las cannons
I will be making a
5 man paladin squad with apothecary
And a 10 man purifier squad with knight of the flame

Never taken a purgation squad. I've never had an issues killing infantry with regular guys. Purgation squads are billed as the GK equivalent to devastators but they have none of the real choices that devs do.

The best you can do with Purgation is to treat them like Purifiers without Cleansing Flame. Give them 2 Psycannons and a Rhino and sit pretty on an objective, shooting from the top hatch.

But honestly, it's the worst kind of waste of points and a heavy support slot.

One effective way a friend suggested for use of the purgation squad is to give them all incinerators and use a Drop Pod from another codex. This gives you a fantastic anti-horde unit (would be particularly useful against Demons since Purifiers will likely be denied their Cleansing Flame!)

A Purgation Squad with four incinerators could have some use against a Ravenwing bike deathstar (which denies the re-rollable cover save) or Dark Eldar raiders/venoms (which let's you get straight to the squishy interior). The sheer volume of saves is your saving grace. Of course, this is entirely dependent upon first turn and a direct hit on your Deep Strike.

But that's a lot of "what-ifs" to make a bad unit seem good, IMO.

From what I'm reading now I think I may build the purgation squad as something different the interceptor squad looks appealing due to there personal teleporters and there avail 30 in shunt move which I could see grabbing objectives when needed / instant in your face troops mane with an incinerator and a hammer?

Indeed. That is a much better idea.
