As it is my first time posting, please feel free to advise on how to streamline my post, I will trim and change as advised. Otherwise, what do you think of this for utility?

Welcome to Dakka!

Where are you getting the slot for the fortification? IIRC you can’t just tack one on to a list without going unbound. Also, why the comms? What are you reserving? Might be better with a gun or ammo dump or something.

No vet sarge for the assaults? I find he normally gets his points back and does the heavy lifting for the squad.

Your captain and command squad are going to struggle against anything with a 2+ or high toughness. Might want to get a fist in there, or at least an axe.

I like to have 4 guns in my dev squads. Sure, you loose points/firepower quick when you start taking wounds, but you get more dakka per point before that point. I’ve not been impressed by plasma cannons in a long time, they always disappoint me. YMMV.

Tacs are OK. I might mix them up a bit, maybe get some melta a/o combis in there. They should serve though.

Same problem with the loose devs as the ones in the company. They should do OK though. I might replace the HBs with more TFCs.

@Nevelon

Firstly, my fault, i posted an out of date list, the ComSquad should read power fists in place of lightning claws.

Also, plasma cannons were gad awful, never again, just bring las and something else. I wasted too many points on units that didn't hit hard enough :(

The Aegis is in a Fortification Detachment, as far as I know, completely legal.

As with PlasCannons, I have always been disappointed with Melta, I'll consider it, but not thrilled to have it in there, maybe combi melta on the sarge?

Also, when you add too many guns to your Devs, you start to loose effectiveness as you cant predict the signum so you lose the statistical edge. You also loose bodies to absorb shots, ill give it a go anyhow.

Thank you so much for your help, will revise and try again

Are you using battlescribe? They have the fortification detachment in there to make it so not every roster has them all attached which basically means its not actually a detachment. But otherwise a whole CAD is needed to take them

You're right, #JustNoobThings over here, rectified
