Is there a good reason to take a Primaris psyker instead of the CCS? Back in the day, the Sisters would have lynched him, but I guess they're a little more open-minded these days.

Celestine is too awesome not to include.
Having 50 FNP guardmens is too awesome not bring another 2 squads.

I would only give one or two squads krak grenades in the blob.
Also I would bring an ADL with quadgun to shoot down flyers.

Then I am out of ideas how to make it all fit together.

The point of the list is Uriah and the Guardsmen. That leaves no room for Celestine. Besides, Celestine is not really too awesome to not include.

It's a SoB list with Guard allies, not the other way around. There aren't enough points for 50 Guardsmen without cutting into the core of the list. Someday, I might try an IG list with SoB allies but I doubt I would play a 50-man blob even then.

I don't really have any way of distinguishing squads once they're in the blob together; it's all or nothing on the grenades. Since the point is to have so many krak attacks that anything 12AV or less will die instantly, numbers are what's called for.

A quadgun would be nice, I suppose I could cut the HWS and some of the upgrades and let the CCS man the gun. The PCS could stand by to take over. It's certainly worth considering.

Thanks for replying.

The only thing, I might change would be to try and put Plasma Guns on your command squads. If you don't want to go that route, drop the meltagun. Melta + Autocannon doesn't make a lot of sense. Really I'm not sure any of the special weapons match up well with an Autocannon, but the melta is probably the worst of the bunch.

I do like the idea of the Primaris Psyker. He's pretty cheap and you can hide him in the blob pretty effectively. He also gets two powers which is nice. I think as your list is written a Primaris might be a better choice than the CCS, but if you could finagle the CCS to have plasmas and maybe a Chimera, that could be a pretty compelling choice.

Amerikon, the points are pretty tight. I'm going to play three Dominons and three Exorcists and there's no choice with the Battle Sisters, that doesn't leave a great deal of points left. Since the idea is to try Uriah with a blob, most of the remaining points are used there - three squads is about the minimum, useful size for a power blob. I could drop the HWS for a Chimera, but there still aren't enough points to equip the CCS with plasma. Autocannon and melta are the cheap choices.

I suppose I could squeeze a few points out of the Battle Sisters, but I don't much like that idea either.

I like it and am going to try something pretty similar. Have you thought about dropping a dom for a Vendetta?

I would also second the Primaris with rolled powers rather than CCS.

I hadn't thought about dropping a Dominon squad for a Vendetta, but it certainly is worth considering. With the spare points, I might be able to equip one of the other squads in a more useful manner.

I glanced at the psychic abilities, but I didn't dwell there. It's probably worth a try too.

That would give something like this:

Uriah
10 Battle Sisters: Melta gun, heavy flamer, Superior w/combi-melta, Rhino

5 Dominons: 2x Flamer, Superior w/combi-flamer, Immolator w/TL MM

While nobody loves Dominions like I do, I think I might like this better.

Yeah, I'm torn with Doms right now.

Personally, I'm trying out a Primaris (Telepathy) with PBS a couple platoons for a blob with Uriah, an aegis and a Vendetta added to my SoB. Gives you durable scoring, some anti-flyer with the Aegis and Vendetta and some anti-deathstar with the Telepathy + PBS combo.
