I was thinking of taking this to a tournament and just wanted an opinion

HQ
1x crowe 150 pts

Troops
6x 5 man purifiers w/ 2 psycannons in rhino 180 each

Fast attack
2x stormravens with TL MM and LC 205 each

Heavy
2x 5 man purguation with 4 psycannons 180 each

Now the idea is that crow rides a stormraven to at least not give up a killpoint and/or get him in too CC and act as a distraction. Which is what basically both the stormravens will accomplish being, distractions. After playing quite a few games, I notice that a bunch of people go after the damn things. as for the purguation squads, they will ethier hide behind the rhino wall using astral aim OR be in the storm ravens ( granted crowe will have to leave one) and use them as a big threat unit to get the purguation squads to the enemy lines and pop open some tanks for the rhino wall to take a shot at.

anybody?

I'd recommend some psyfleman dreads (w/2x tl-psybolt autocannons) in place of the purgation and stormravens. They work better.

Also, get some halberds, hammers and maybe even warding staves in those purifiers squads. At the minimum, give them halberds. They're just too cheap to pass up.

Definately get rid of the Purgation Squads. While they seem worthwhile, they really can't compare to 2xTL-AC dreadnaughts. I don't have my codex on my at the moment, but I believe the dreads end up being cheaper as well. Bare Psyflemen, you can always take some normal Dreads and deploy them with the Stormraven for some assault shenanigans, and they would threaten takes just as well.

If the dreads end up being cheaper, use the extra points for more purifiers.

You'll also end up wanting to take different wargear on your purifiers. Pyscannons are great, however I would take 2 with halberds, leaving your KotF with a sword(Should he suffer perils, at least you don't lost the Halberd investment).

I'd go for a different take on the list, and drop the SRs, change the rhinos to razorbacks with ammo, and take 3 purgs with a razorback each, with hammers as points allow.

9 razors, 24 psycannons, 46 marines. I've played this list a few times, and once you get into 24" range (so, turn 1 or 2) you start to really shred into things. The next turn if you don't move any of the squads, it gets really, really deadly.

Psyfleman dreads are nice, of course, but extra psycannons and tanks are not bad either. I think the list can work either way, just differently.

I'm not a fan of rhinos at all, though.

why razorbackwith ammo? cant the squads not shoot out like that?

I'd use rhino and make better use of the psycannons. Cheap. And I'd also add in a tech marine with the dreadnoughts.

Here's what I would do with your list.

To make it more interesting and give you more options when you approach the board every time.

It does have some drastic changes from the average Crowe list.

Now what I have given you here is a little more manueverability. You can place your Grand Master with your Termies in a Storm Raven or with the Purifier Squad in a StormRaven. You have 2 Teleport Homers if you choose you want to deepstrike. Now you have Grand Strategy and can make Crowe scoring or give him outflank. You can outflank your termies or any of your purifier units.

Important thing to realize is that a Purifier list means you can take purifiers as troops...it doesn't mean they're the only unit you can take.
