Been thumbing through the Astra Militarum Codex, and I think they have just the firepower CSM need to cover their close combat units. Tell me what you guys think of this list. I think weaknesses may include the Havocs and limited AA.

My thoughts about the Allies:
1. No need for a command squad. It's best with infantry platoons.
2. No major need for Primaris Psykers. They can only target Astra Militarum, and this list has no major prescience targets. It'd still be good though.
3. The Eradicator is amazing. With AP4 and IGNORES COVER(!!), it's going to clear back lines that think an Aegis will protect them. It'll wipe out a unit manning a quad gun, some fire warriors, or insta kill heavy weapons teams to clear the way for the Juggerlord/Heldrake. It's got Russ armor and is the cheapest of the tanks. This one's a winner.
4. The Commissar makes the Vets viable to move up with the CSM. They are the plasma unit, and should soften almost anything up enough for the CSM to cream em in close combat.
