Is pask in a Vanquisher?

I feel 4 hyrdas would be a little too much. if youre taking an ADL might as well add a quad gun and drop 2 of the hydras.
Thats 90 points to add somwhere else.

Im not sure why you put priests with the vet squads?

Yea I dont see why priests are needed in the vet squads.

Also if you plan on blobbing up the infantry squads you need either a priest for fearless or a commissar so they dont run, otherwise I would blob the squads up.

Also I assume pasks squadron is vanquishers and not vindicators as AM doesnt have vindicators?

I also dont see the point of a LRBT with the TC upgrade, that plus one bs is jjust reducing the scatter by 1, I would get a vanquisher with a hull lascannon and give that TC and have a standard battle tank in the squadron.

I do. More tanks. Since he filled his Heavy Support with Wyverns and Hydras, he took two stock Leman Russ MBTs as an HQ. Using the Tank Commander Orders, they can sit back and shoot at two different targets. But yeah, I agree on dropping at least one unit of Hydras, unless you are expecting lots of flyers, as they are nearly useless against ground targets (need 6s to hit due to lack of Interceptor).

But like I said why not get a better russ to have the TC ability.

Drop the Priests in the Vet squads, drop a squad of Hydras, and I'd suggest dropping the Conscripts in favor of more infantry (or for all those lascannons, a HWS with another psyker). LRBTs can shift to a heavy slot so you save on the Tank Commander. Add an Icarus or Quad-Gun to the ADL.

I actually ended up doing much of what you have suggested. However, I don't want to drop the conscripts. They are a unit that is win-win in my mind. Either people deal with them, which will take a lot of concentrated fire (while I have other targets that should be concentrated first), or they won't. If you don't deal with them I have a great little fearless unit that can steal objectives or take a relic.

Here is my edited list:


Commissar Yarrick - 145

Pask Leman Russ, 2 x Vanquisher w/las - 360

Troops

10 Veterans 2 w/plasma 1 w/heavy flamer(primaris psyker ) w/chimera - 215
10 Veterans 2 w/plasma 1 w/heavy flamer(primaris psyker ) w/chimera - 215

1x Infantry Platoon - 525
PCS w/ Lascannon
Squad w/ Lascannon
Squad w/ Lascannon
Squad w/ Lascannon
H. Squad w/3 Las Sabres [Forgeworld] (essentially, 3 skyfire lascannons, but they are not limited to snap shots even though they do not have intercept).
20 Conscripts (w/Priest)

Heavy

2 x Wyvern - 130
1 Leman Russ Battle Tank - 150
1 Leman Russ Battle Tank - 150

ADL Quad - 100

Total: 1990

I am considering dropping one LRBT for 2 more wyverns. Thoughts?

Right you are, sir. And I am dropping all hydras. I forgot about the skyfire limitation without interceptor.

I run a squadron of 2 Wyverns now, and it's been perfect. I think you can keep your heavies how they are. List looks good! Those sabres should do nicely.

List looks pretty solid. you have 10 points to spare, consider bumping your vet squads to 3 plasma each with it. or drop in bolters to all your sarges. or drop the H flamers all together and add some camo nets to a couple tanks behind the ADL for some nice saves.
