Hi everyone!
I need help and suggestions to complete my list
(I will play my list against 40k armies, mostly Imperium armies.)

Here's what I have for the moment
(though I only purchased the Vultaraxes and the Karacnos yet)

I'm open to other troop choices and would love to play 2 Triaros. I must admit I don't know what to do with my HQ.
Other options I am considering are 2 Void shield generators, Macrotek with tech-priest auxiliary with 8 flamers and promethium pipelines as troop choices or Cerastus Knight Atrapos.
Also, my friends would let me play the Karacnos as a Macrocarid Explorator, which maybe is better.

1410pts (440 left)

1 Magos, with 2 cyber-occularis 125
20 tech-thralls, Fearless 80
20 tech-thralls, Fearless 80
1 Vultarax 175
24’’ S6 Ap5 Heavy 3, -1 cover, Shred, Haywire
48’’ S5 Ap5 Heavy 4 Blast (3’’), Twin-linked, -1 cover (re-roll)
1 Vultarax 175
24’’ S6 Ap5 Heavy 3, -1 cover, Shred, Haywire
48’’ S5 Ap5 Heavy 4 Blast (3’’), Twin-linked, -1 cover (re-roll)
2 Venators 300
36’’ S9 Ap2 Ordnance 4, Pinning

2 Krios 250
48’’ S7 Ap3 Heavy1, Blast (5’’), Rending, Shred
48’’ S7 Ap3 Heavy1, Blast (5’’), Rending, Shred
1 Karacnos 225
18’’ S7 Ap5 Heavy 6, Shred, Rending
60’’ S5 Ap4 Heavy 3, Barrage, Blast (3’’), Fleshbane, Rad-phage, Ignores cover, Pinning

Please

The list seems pretty good.

I would just worry about your ability to score objectives due to only troops being that in 30k.

Maybe you should do another troop section? Have fun

On that note, if you field a Matrix of Ruin, your tanks become Scoring units when in the enemy's deployment zone.
(Ordo Reductor section of the Red book; need 2 units of Thallax as compulsory troops, and your HQ must be a Reductor Magos)

Thanks for the reply.
Scoring vehicles seems good, but I wonder if they will get often in my enemy deployment zone. Is there a unit worth putting in a Triaros as a dedicated transport?
(But 270 pts of Thallax taxes is dissuasive...)

Myrmidon Secutors need a Triaros to get around, since their range is trivial.
However, I usually stuff my Triaros full of Tech Thralls, and (try to) ram it right into the middle of the good stuff.
Problem is; the Triaros attracts more attention than Macrocarids and Landraiders, so it usually gets blown up on the mid line, leaving the Thralls stranded, being useless for a turn or two.

As for Thallax, using them as a tax unit isn't getting you anywhere, but going all-out on them does; a 9-Man Ferroxian squad with Chainblades gets stuff done, and you could use the other Thallax unit as a Bodyguard for your Magos.
3 single shot Lightning guns won't do squat, but 9 will.
But don't forget about the special weapons options the Thallax can carry; can make up for lost exoticness if you omit Myrmidons.

Okay, thanks!

So I bought this week 2 Triaros, 2 Vultarax, 2 Venator, 2 Krios, 1 Karacnos, 1 Atrapos
sweet tax return
I'll proxy the infantry units with my renegades and let you know how it went!

Marching to War!

(Ulator on his way...)

Going for the 'ripsaw' look eh?
