Pretty standard list with a twist

CCS LC, Camo Cloaks

Primaris Psyker Rolling Telepathy - will sit with blob or go with chimera vets depending on if the enemy is offensive or defensive.

Plasma Vets
Chimera/Harker?

Melta Vets (in Vend)

Pyro PCS (in Vend)

PIS AC, Melta
PIS AC, Melta, Commissar

Dakka LR Exterminator - HB sponsons

LR Executioner - Plasma sponsons

Vendetta
Vendetta

ADL, Quadcannon

This leaves me at the dreaded 1410pts. 90pts is a horrible cost to have left - it's too little for anything useful, but too much to just throw out upgrades.

This will be a first using the PP, anyone have experience with him? Is 70pts worth it, or should I stick with Marbo? The 4 potential rolls I can get with Telepathy are all pretty good and the primaris power isn't awful either - basically more AP2. The reason I'm switching out Marbo for this bloke is because Marbo is very binary, either he wrecks face, or he does diddly squat. I'm hoping the PP will be a happy medium that will do decent most of the time. If I always sit him with the blob, I could potentially ditch the commissar too for something like demolitions on my melta vets.
The LR Exterminator hasn't been doing well in any of my games. I use it as a AV14 addition to my platoon blob, but it either doesn't kill much, or it gets blown up very quickly. Any recommendations as to where else to blow the points? I'd like 2 Russes in there, they are great distractions but if one is consistently under performing I should think about a replacement.

As usual, all criticism welcome!

You essentially only have 1 AV12 thing with a very potent force in it on the first turn. Does it get targeted quickly? I feel with Chimera's you need to go with the adage of "flood them with it" for them to be effective.

I see what you're saying, I've been toying with ditching it, but then where do I put my plasma vets? I could grab Harker for the same points and simply outflank them to where I need them to be. Any help here would be awesome.

In all honesty though, it doesn't get targeted fast. I normally run it along side (with another chimera in my old list) the executioner to provide the LR some cover while I advance.

I would get rid of the dozer blades. itll save you 20 pts to put into another squad/upgrades.

Also from what I've heard the Primaris Psyker is pretty meh... But if you want to experiment with him then go ahead.

I would suggest getting rid of the commissar (since there are only 2 squads of troops) and putting a regimental standard in the CCS instead.

Also, many would consider the executioner with plasma sponsons overkill, as just the turret itself will destroy whatever it targets with ease.

By getting rid of the dozer blades, krak grenades, plasma sponsons, and the commissar, thatll give you enough points for another PIS, marbo, or a lord commissar to put behind the ADL and shoot at flyers with his BS5

I'd call the plasma sponsons "piece of mind." It's horrible when the main gun misses, and they're there to either make up for that or to mop up stray wounds. I could down-grade them to multi-meltas, this would give it some anti-tank threat too.

I've realised I had a whole PIS extra in my points, I will update in a moment. /facepalm
Updated.

I'd rather not "experiment" unless I have to. The PP looks decent on paper, but if he'll perform I don't know. It would save me 70pts bringing me to 160pts to spare.
