Looks good, I really like the CSM units and I think this list feeds off Huron's Warlord Trait quite well.

The Forgefiend is asking to get popped quickly, I don't like how there's only one. He is set up in an interesting way so let us know how he performs.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of "1 is good, 2 is better", but I figure I'll sit him behind the Aegis and at least have 4+ cover for most things. It's how I run my dreads in my GK list, and they do ok.

Option B is to drop the fiend and take some Obliterators, but even at BS3, 8 Str8 shots might have a chance to crack a flier with decent rolling.

Why not take a big squad of Cultists to put the Apostle with to give them all Fearless and Counter-Attack?

I would do just MoK and leave it at that to make a fat, mobile scoring unit that isn't pleasant to attack into.

I don't know how to feel about the Forgefiend - I feel if you do AV12 spam, it has a home, but in a foot-centric list it just makes it the logical choice for all the opponents anti-tank.

I didn't think about that, you're absolutely right. "models in cover behind an Aegis wall..." etc etc.

Knowing that now, I am ok with everything in the list
