so i was thinking this is alot of bodies with 26 psycannons
all rounders i would think. just looking for feed back. HQ isnt the best choice im aware of that just messing around with some lists.

I think you would be better off:
1. taking teleport squads instead of purg squads (maybe)
2. taking razorbacks with pybolt heavy bolters
3. reducing halbards, your guys only have 1 attack each they aren't cc units in anyway, these points are largely wasted.

you need to cover 25+ inch range with more than 2 models or you will be wrecked by a few armies like dark eldar.
i"m guessing the brotherhood champion would go with the purifiers, but he can't fit in the rhino with them, you might want to replace him with an grenade-laden inquisitor to save some points.

If you want lots of Psycannons go for Purifier spam.

so something like this? and combat squad the purifiers

Illegal. You've got 4 heavy support choices and 8 psycannons in 1 unit!

You've got way too many needless upgrades.

Here, let me clean it up for you.

Better, but you've still got 1 dread too many (maximum = 3 per FOC). If you want to go purifiers, I'd still get 1 squad of interceptors for their mobility.

Vindicares actually aren't good if you do the math. I'd take more dreads, or interceptors instead, or another strike squad. Or a Librarian.

what about making the strike squad into a 10 man and dropping the vindicare. i thought he was pretty much needed for high av popping. but i suppose the amount of psycannons can help with that. i plan on making the purifiers into combat squads.

I've used the Vindicare a few times and people have noticed how painful he can be, so they target him first time he's very likely to disappear. I wouldn't make big squads of Purifiers it's best to get them close to the enemy to utilize their combat capabilities while shooting as you move across.

jy2 is correct though, if your going for purifier spam also have a small strike squad that can sit on your own objective, letting crowe steal their transport. They can also aid enemies deep striking into your objective.

so combat squads would be a bad idea?

I would say combat squads are a bad idea. You would be causing ½ your troops to be walking. And with only a 24in range that’s going to give your opponents a turn or 2 to handle the first half of the list before starting at the 2ed. Massive detriment to you since its already difficult to force target saturation in a GK codex.
