Aegis Defense Line: Gun Emplacement with Icarus Lascannon

Autocannons mixed with lascannons isnt very efficient since you may be out ranging yourself, i reccomend going autocannons with heavy bolters or triple lascannons. If you go with the lascannon route switch your havocs to autocannons. I also think that if you split your oblits to 2x2 and 2x1 it would be more efficient since you can use a variety of weapons each turn. Other than that GL

If you're taking Obliterators you don't need the predators. Drop the preds, take an extra squad of havocs.

I try to drop 2 Obliterators onto as many objectives as possible, then just sit and shoot

I would go all a/c on the havocs (they get tank hunter for free so very efficient, if no armour then still do a decent job on hordes)
Consider a quad gun for a/a - even better if your havoc champion is firing it with his tank hunter
Do the Havocs in squads of 5 - each enemy unit can only kill 1 squad per turn...

I love vindicators and always want them to do well, but they never do...

Have you considered Heldrakes? Probably the best unit in the codex...

i would take a warpsmith whit the vindicators and you got a formation

Question
Do you have to take power armor in order to take exo?
Also , can the DP take the black Mace and Exo since they are from different lists and the CSM codex says you can take more than one artefact?

You can only take one artefact iirc

Obliterators should all be singles

You don't need to have the power armour for the exo afaik

Kill points?

I'd chuck the mark of nurgle on the obliterators to up their toughness and avoid instant death. I've found it makes them incredibly difficult to shift (and they weren't exactly a picnic before)

If you are using Iron Warriors tactics you can't give units a Mark
