Hey Dakka. Here’s a “Lamenter themed” list. (Mostly because I have Malakim Phoros), and need some feedback. Thanks!

Malakim Phoros-175 (Joined to Assault Squad)

Sanguinary priest-50 (Joined to Tactical Squad)
Sanguinary priest-50 (Joined to Assault Squad)

Tactical squad-200

Assault Squad-135
Removed Jump Packs, Drop Pod

Dreadnought-145
Plasma Gun

Total: Comes out to 755

I assume Malakim Phoros is a Forge world character, and as such I have no idea what he can do.

I think that plasma pistol goes to waste in your tactical squad, I simply don't find them worth 15 points. A combi-plasmagun or combi-melta might be better, as the extra shot or melta might save your day, and if you want to assault you lose the plasma guns shots (assuming here that you plan to combat squad, if not, plasma pistol gets even worse in comparison.)

Where does a dreadnought get a plasma gun?

This army could use more anti-tank, as unless that special character has meltagun/bombs, you have no way of dealing with AV14 outside assault (and even then you can't hurt a Land Raider). I've heard that Tactical squads are bad for BA but can't really see why, as Assault Marines are pretty useless at holding ground.

Ok, gave the Tactical squad Sergeant a Combi-Melta. Dreadnoughts get Plasma cannons, I underestimated points, so put in extra armour. You can find Malakim Phoros in Badab war 1.
