HQ- CCS with Creed, Astropath, MoO, 3x plasma guns and regimental standard = 260

Troops- Platoon A- PCS with Al'Rahem, 3x meltaguns, heavy flamer and Chimera = 205
2x Infantry Squads with flamers and Chimeras = 110 x2

Platoon B- PCS with 2x plasma guns and lascannon = 80
3x Infantry Squads with 3x autocannons = 60 x3
HWT with 3x missile launchers = 95

Fast Attack- Vendatta Gunship = 130
Vendetta Gunship = 130

Heavy Support- Leman Russ Executioner with plasma cannon sponsons and lascannon = 245
3x Basilisks = 375

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor with ML1, needle pistol, Ulumeanthi Plasma Syphon and servo skull = 78

Creed outflanks the LR to coincide with AlRahem's platoon coming in. I already have access to a Wall of Martyr's Defence Line, but I could drop the Inquisitor for a Skyshield? Any tips for this would be appreciated, I'm fighting a Tau player who likes Pirahnas and Crisis Suits.

Drop the needle pistol on the inquisitor for more skulls, since you have lots of barrage weapons. Get power armor if you can afford. Krak grenades are good for creed's squad, as they are given to the officers as well(but not required)

I would take all flamers on Rahems PCS.

I want to keep meltas on AlRahem's PCS so I can melt a nice vehicle at close range. I'll drop the pistol, and take the skulls, but could I replace the Inquisitor with a Skyshield?

Well for one I would certainly drop the heavy flamer. It just is too expensive to put on a standard guardsmen.

I would unsquadron the basilisks or at least put them in one squad of 2 and another one by itself so that you can shoot at separate units each turn.

If you are blobbing those infantry squads then you need an inquisitor(preferred) or a commissar.

The inquisitor is a really good guy to have mainly because if you listen to me then that squad of 2 basilisks becomes more accurate or the master of ordnance becomes more accurate.

If you already have access to the WoM then you will most likely be getting a 4+ cover so with all your artillery and outflanking units just make sure you kill his units that have marker lights or you wont have a cover save.

Also I think its a cool idea to out flank the russ with the platoon but I also think creed is a waste of points. Creed excels because he has 4 orders to give at a good distance but I dont believe there is really much that he can give orders too.

I would opt to have a more gunline style of a list with more infantry squads sitting back if your using creed.

Okay, so I'll separate the Basilisks and drop the HF for extra meltas but I'm still a little concerned about the safety of my ordnance. Is there anything else I can do or will my Wall of Martyrs suffice?
