+1 for thinking of the name, right right?? I hate crowe a lot but he is needed for a PurifiedWing or PureWing however the internet will dub it.

I have 5 points left. What should I add or change to make this list more clean, get it clean = purified. *cricket cricket*

Pretty expensive list you have!

Haven't seen the codex so I have no idea how it will pay out.

Are you sure you want 34 models for the best part of 1500pts?
averages at 43pts a model, so you might as well take straight terminators
Personally i would drop one or two of the squads and get some more models down on the table
How many Purifiers can you have without Crowe?

I'm simply not impressed with the GK version of Razorback spam. It just seems to me that SW or BA--especially BA with 6 Predator chassis--do it better.

The sole advantage of the GK version is the ability to annihilate hordes with Cleansing Flame. No bout that is an advantage, but I simply don't think it's good enough of one to offset the low vehicle count and shorter range..not to mention a complete lack of AP2.

complete lack of AP2

Too true,
and Terminators like riding in Land Raiders
and as you are fielding mainly anti infantry and light AT weapons, you will struggle to deal with those Land Raiders and main battle tanks (Leman Russes, Monoliths, Hammerhead Gunships, Predators etc etc)
drop the rifle dreds
have lasbacks to deal with tanks (this will boost the much needed AP2 too)
Spend the spare 300 points on something else that will help pop tanks or deal with hordes

While I agree with the lack of AP2 being a possible liability, Psycannons are very strong against armour (though they have limited range) and even the Psyrifle dreads are better at damaging heavy armour then single lascannons.
However, that being said I don't think having a lack of AP2 is a huge deal in an army full of power weapons. The only thing I would suggest/recommend, would be to turn that 1xPsycannon Purifier Squad into a 1xPsycannon Strike squad for Anti-Deepstrike protection, and trade those 20 points for Halberds on your other squads, which should help immensely versus BA armies.

Sure, but how do they get their shots off in a Razorback Purifier army? Roll up and intentionally dump your very, very few guys out so that you at least have a chance at stopping a Land Raider before it gets in amongst your lines?

That's the exact opposite of how any other Razorback armylist works, and that's why I think this is a bad schtick for GKs overall.

What do you do against a 'true' SW or BA razorback list? If you stay inside and try to shoot it out, you lose horribly against mass MLs, Las, and Asscans with 5+ Shield or Stormcaller saves. Your only hope is to move up and dump guys because they're carrying almost 1/2 of the list's firepower. But now you've got a turn that vehicles didn't shoot, and your opponent is staring at 25 MEQs less than 24 inches away.

I don't think its the strongest strategy for GK's either man, I just don't think Terminators and Land Raiders are their issue. Psycannons will do fine against most Land Raiders, and with a few halberds with purifiers they should do fine receiving a charge from most assault oriented armies (though likely not win much, since they are small units).
Like you mentioned, their real issue is dealing with better MSU mech armies, as they have less mech that is just as vulnerable.

i recommend falchions for purifiers since the number of attacks would make any terminator team reconsider an assault and if its LC its mutual destruction for them (halberds are a good option too for them)

btw i think a better name for this list would be Crowe-wing

I don't understand the razorbacks. Why not use rhinos and have two psycannons shoot out the top of each?

TL? and also it gives the oppotunity to take more psycannons and other heavy weapons which is a massive bonus in the GK lacking numbers

The list is going to end up being a standard build, it wrecks stuff!!!!

I wouldn't have more then 1 psycannon in a 5 man squad. you are simply sacrificing too many Force Weapon attacks for too little gain.

and i would at least fill the Razorback. go for 6 Purifiers.
