Ok so first thing is first. Hq will move with the other vets in their Chimeras for a mobile wall. I usually run with Creed in my comand but it seemes straken is more offensive and granting counter and feriou charge to units withing range seems useful. Now alot of people tell me to drop the meltagun from my Chimera Vet and go all plasma, but I like the melta in there in case I come across a vehicle and I don't have anything in range to deal with it. Vets in Vendettas will be dropped off in front of vehicles to melta them if my Vendettas don't deal with them first, or drop a demo-charge on passengers from a transport / infantry units. Marbo is there for the "Oh Snap Factor" to make my opponent turn around to deal with him and of course to toss his demo. I can also use Marbo to deal with any vehicles that are a thor in my side with melta-bombs. The Inquisitor of course has the 2 mystics to counter deep-strikeing units and the reason I gave him the 2 hierophants is so he becomes ld10 and makes the Psyhic Hood more effective. I can already see a few things that can be tweaked myself, so please all criticism is welcomed.

What orders do you plan on giving to dudes you have mounted inside their transports? I'd lose the voxes and fully upgrade your ccs.

Secondly, I'd drop the astropath. This doesn't really seem like the type of list where you're going to hold anything in reserve other than marbo

Another suggestion I would have is if you're going to take a retinue, you might as well make it an inquisitor lord and take something like a callidus or vindicare assassin. Callidus would pair well with marbo. Vindicare would be nice for picking off 2+ armor save marine ic's

Just some thoughts

I prefer my Vet squads with all the same guns. I would drop the voxes and up the lone melta in the plasma squads into a plasma

I was also thinking about dropping he voxes. I wouldn't upgrade for an inquisitor lord though because the assassins are all about 100pts and that means i need to dro something, And like i said before, dropping the melta in the plasma taxis means that if i come across some armor with them, i have nothing to crack it open.
