Hey guys, so I've changed up my list and this is what I came up with:

Chaplain Grimaldus (225 Points) [Warlord]
5x Cenovyte Servitors

Crusader Squad (205 Points)
9x Initiates
1x Sword Brother
2x Power Firsts
1x Flamer

Crusader Squad (105 Points) [x2]
4x Initiates
1x Sword Brother
1x Combi-Plasma
1x Plasma Gun

Land Raider Crusader (260 Points) [Dedicated Transport]
Multi-Melta

Linebreaker Squadron (420 Points)
3x Siege Shields
3x Storm Bolters - or - 3x Hunter-Killer Missiles

Razorback (75 Points) [Dedicated Transport] [x2]
Twin-Linked Lascannon


I want to have this as my primary detachment and have it total 1,500 Points. The above list comes to 1,470 Points and I'm unsure of how to use the last 30 Points. It crossed my mind to give the Razorbacks and the Land Raider Crusader Extra Armour, but I'm not sure that's the best use of the points (though I'm not sure what else I could be spending it on). The remaining 500 Points I want to use for an Allied Detachment of Astra Militarum which would have a Mastery Level 2 Psyker as the HQ choice.

As far as the above 1,500 Points is concerned, I plan to run the Linebreaker in reserve first turn, the two five-man squads and their Razorbacks as either as armour harassment, objective capture, or both. The Land Raider Crusader, the ten-man Crusader Squad and Chaplain Grimaldus as the yolo train trying to hit the enemy infantry. The Linebreaker will hopefully be able to come on and be in range of something or at least be protected by cover until it can move in the following turn, after which it will hopefully be anti-armour, anti-infantry, or both.

So there are two things I'm looking for with this:

(I) What are your thoughts in this 1,500 Point list?

(II) What should I do with the last 30 Points?

(III) What should the the composition of the the 500 Point list of Astra Militarum be? (Apart from the ML2 Psyker)

I was thinking of running the Psyker with both powers from the Telepathy table. I was also thinking that maybe having a squad of basic soldiers for securing objectives in or near my deployment zone and have a tank of some kind as support, though I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. I just don't know whether or not this will be good and what I should take as part of this Allied Detachment. Also, I'm unfamiliar with points cost as well as how to run a solid and/or competative 500 Point Allied Detahcment of Astra Militarum.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys!
