Grandmaster x2 orbital strike
Techmarine x3 orbital strike
Purgation squad x5 incinerators x4


All of the top 5 are ic so can all be joined to the purgation squad. Orbitals are unlimited range and purgs let you shoot at a target out of Los. Hide them in a corner and purchase a Los blocking building and it should very hard for them to be shot at.
You could also swap conversion beamers on tecs to get less scatter and use librarians with vortex of doom and such.

Only reason I think it could be viable is the fact that you can barrarge bomb which is d3 or use psyshock for psykers both of which are large blast.
Idk do you guys think it could be considered viable for its points

Orbital strikes are rather unreliable since they scatter without a correction factor (ballistic skill). How many points is the above ''Grandstar''?

Inefficient. The OSL becomes infinitely better with prescience. Exchange one GM for Coteaz. Also, drop the incinerators, they serve no real purpose.

Peeeeshaaa

GK: Grandmaster x 2, techmarines x 3, troop
Codex: inquisition:2 inquisitors with at least 1 having psycholeum
C:SM red hunter: Chapter master, TFC.

Lob everything on to TFC.

Roll WL trait on inquisitor for a 1/6 chance of another orbital

Div up some TL or maybe even ignore cover.

Shoot TFC first for multiple barrage rules then have fun.

The biggest problem i see is that unless you have split fire, which i doubt, then your killing what, one unit a turn? for that many points?

well technically its not one unit a turn but more like one area of the map...........

and if you really wanted to go for the gusto, you could always get split fire via cent devs with omni-scope.

Well additionally you dont have to have em in one unit together. using the chapter masters version of orbital bombardment with divination to roll for the direct hit (as it doesn't scatter)

But there way its a bunch of minimum scattering high damage and volume shots that ignore intervening terrain.

Though its bane would be multi lv ruins
