what do you think?

It's a lot of anti infantry and skyfire but not much for dealing with TEQ, MCs or heavy armour.

It's a tricky thing with crons now. We have great capacity for keeping scoring units off the board until turn five but not enough heavy killing stuff the way Tau and Eldar do.

Is the CSM detachment there just for the heldrake? If so, (and it seems that way because cultists and a minimal sorc aren'r really doing anything for the list) then I don't think it's worth it.

Crons deal with MEQ just fine through weight of fire. Its the tough nuts to crack that you've got to worry about. I think you'd do better going pure crons and getting either another squad of wraiths to tie down things you can't kill or another squad of warriors in a night scythe for more dakka and more mobile/resilient scoring.

I agree with what Kholzerino said except possibly on the anti MC note. Tesla can generally put enough wounds on an MC through weight of fire to handle them,
