Getting CAWL into the War Con meant having to down grade the knight from a crusader to a Warden and reducing the number of rangers in the squad.
To make up for the loss of the plasma gun on the rangers squad, I think it makes sense to give them the Quantum Annihilator they now have access to by including Cawl in the army.
The vanguard form a "death star" with Cawl and Coteaz attached. Try deepstriking against that. The Memento-Mortispex helps that squad kill any unit they shoot at and make them devastating against flyers
The infiltrators get the +1 to invuln on the Princeps who sees his 4++ turn into 3++. That will help him stay alive longer to keep the debuff going and help the ruststalkers.

This is cheesy but it is meant for tournaments.

I plan on running a near identical list in three weeks. Have you considered dropping a Kataphron team to make room for a 25 point inquisitor with the 30 point memento? Then you can beef out the Ranger team as well.

The reason you would do this would be have the memento on an IC so that you can switch to having a gravaphron get skyfire/monster hunter as required.

No. I don't think it's worth losing 18 grav shots. I always found rangers to be expendable so it was okay cutting from them. Getting the quantum annihilator on them makes for a good distraction. Hype it up. Talk about how good it is.
