You really want more conscripts for screening, 30-40 is an optimal number. 2 priests are mandatory for them.

Special weapons can take a heavy Flamer. If not, PCS can.

Not sure if you can take Pask for regular LR squadron. You may have to move it into HQ Slot

Aegis won't hurt you.

Rest is pretty much ok, but I'd moved LasCans from HWT squad into your home sitting platoon, instead of Autocannons there,

Yeah id wamted to take an aegis, but im new to this amd i have no idea where you find points costs for fortifications
More conscripts is always a good idea, but why take 2 preists rather than one?
Special weapons cant have a heavy flamer (sad times) but my pcs is just going to sit behind everyone shouting orders so a HF seems a bit unnecessary?
Yeah im considering dropping pask and having him just as a standard tank commander, is he worth it? (shift him into the hq section)
The idea behind the autocannons in the platoon is just so the guardsmens lasguns can shoot at the same target, with lascannons im not sure as either the lasguns or the lascannon shot will be wasted as they're designed for killimg dofferent things.
Cheers though appreciate the feedback

PCS : Your CCS is going to sit there instead. first and foremost. PCS is a liability in that case, so you can use it as a drop squad safely.

Priests : mentioned around - 2 priests increase your chances to have that hymn, potentially even 2 of them. They can also be sniped and your 30+ man squad will fold to a tankshock or sweeping advance.

About Pask - no, certainly not. He is hands down the best unit in codex. I was talking about the fact you HAVE to take that squadron as HQ choice if you want him. See no reason why wouldn't you do so.

AC vs LC : Your lasguns are essentially only working In 24" range and they are not exactly the best weapon in game. You'll have enough weapon flexibility you'd want to hit both AV far away and infantry up close with platoons with LC.

Fortifications are now in "Stronghold Assault" book. Check it out.

Ok cheers guys,
@naix aha maths error which really messes things up for me :/
@cabal therapy, yeah i might drop a special weapons squad and use the PCS instead then, and swap out the autocannons.
Might have to drop a vendetta and a special weapons to free up some points for fortifications. Ill post an updated list this evening
