I think this is less of a competitive list, and more of a fun list, but how do you think it will perform?

HQ: 290
GM, rad grenades (warlord)
Coteaz (roll on divination. Take prescience and hope for pretty much anything except gaze I would say.)

E: 315
Pali X5, PsycannonX2

Tr: 560
SS X5, R'back, psybolt
SS X5, R'back, psybolt
SS X5, Rhino
DCA X4, Crusader X2

FA: 255
Strom Raven, sponsons, psybolt, MM

Hvy: 580
LRC, psybolt
DK, hvy In
DK, hvy In

Henchmen go in SR. Both HQ and Pali's pile into the LR and beat feet to midfield with at the 2 R'backs following in trace with their payload. Pali's and 1 DK (on average) are troops via grand strategy.

I could drop the Rhino for an additional 2 SS for the 5man unit in the backfield. (?)

Such a small henchmen squad, could take them and a rhino out for a vindicare

Don't let 4 DCA fool you. With 2 Crusaders up front to eat overwatch the DCA are very deadly.

Let's look at some Assault Vehicle fun.
This little 6 man unit on the charge out of the Storm Raven (for simplicity sake, no cover, special characters giving extra abilities, etc) into a group of 10 MEQ. Then let's say that I get unlucky and both Crusaders die to overwatch. The DCA will kill 5 MEQ on average, and do so at I6. Add a 5th DCA and that number becomes 6.7 MEQ.

For real fun take 5DCA, 2Crusaders, and an OXI with rad grenades and hammer hand for 70 points. Now, on the charge out of the SR, the 5 DCA will kill all 10 MEQ (average 11 dead MEQ, so overkill by 1), all at I6.

Put axes on the Crusaders since they're likely going last anyways with I3, and pick up some AP2.

The main issue is that you have Really few models in the army and especially in troops.
So most opponents would just focus those and then you have to table them.

But it might be fun, i agree on that

why the 5 man strike in rhino? with no hvy weapons to shoot out, seams pretty useless. since you like that DCA squad, maybe add some more guys to that insteda of rhino. or even maybe take out rhino for more strike squad members.
