You wont need the Chaplain if you have Erberus in the force.

Unless of course you just want 2 Chaplains.

Looks solid, as VVTzeentch mentioned, you have 2 Chaplains in there and I only see 1 good squad to attach them too.

A couple of thoughts on the Seige Breaker + Quad Mortars.

You aren't gaining any benefit from the SB aside from giving your Quads Phosphex.

Phosphex Quad mortars is a bit unsporting IMO, and you're spending 120 points on it.

Between the SB and the phosphex you've got about 230-250 points that could be spent elsewhere, like taking a Spartan instead of a LR Phobos. Netting you 2 extra las-cannon shots, better survivability and you can beef up the Termi squad with a few more bodies for good measure (and stick a few chainfists on them in case you get into assault with any dreadnoughts).

The other suggestion I would make is taking Marksmen on your Plasma squad. While it kinda nerfs their shooting against vehicles you'll get more mileage out of plasma guys outflanking and their buddies getting rending on their bolters, not to mention precision plasma shots into elite infantry is just awesome. Resolve meanwhile is only a minor bump to WB already solid leadership rules, stick a Vexilla on there and they are likely to stand their ground in most situations.

There is no Mhara Gal in this list. This makes me sad. To add insult to injury there are no Gal Vorbak :((

Yeah, sorry about the Mara Ghal and Gal vorbak. Trying to work cheaply and mostly with what I got. I decided to include the SB and rapier because I often face this threat on the table (it's kinda abusive, I know it firsthand).
