I am concerned about flyers I suppose.

Seems reasonable, the CTC is a bit odd in there, it's 600 points with no delivery system, I would personally consider switching up the CAD into a corsair list, and take the psykers there, with the aim to get the wormhole power, if you dont, the move a unit an extra 2d6 is great. Failing that you'll have the hilarious return a unit to deep strike (as a level 3 psyker has a great chance of getting one of those 3 powers.

It's fun fun fun. Also put a second gun on that WK, as you need to be able to charge what you shoot at, and what you charge is either going to die, or wont die to a scatter laser.

Some good points. I don't know where to get 15 points for the bonus laser although that obv makes sense.

The claw does have scout so will be a little closer. I could also outflank them.

I don't have the corsair book etc so that's a bummer.

Is the sword version better than taking the D guns? I have both options.

I was thinking of placing the VSG closer to the edge of my deployment so I could scout and be in it. Then next turn move/run, and keep a guy whose toe is in 12 of it. Turn 3 combat is pretty reliable imho

I think you need other rush threats to compliment the claw. Otherwise it will get focussed down. You can use the WK that way. Is the VSG worth it? Are the Vaul's batteries worth it? Personally I'd rather have more gunline in the army. The problem is 24" range on the Vaul's is just where your enemy doesn't want to be anyway: near your Claw. So they won't have anything to shoot at in a lot of games. They work great with a pile of Scatterlasers under a VSG in a "come and get me" kind of way. But you are going at your opponent with the Claw. Just my opinion. I actually think you'd be be better with more Scatterlasers in this list. Claw and WK and Hawks all so anti tank.
