Hi,

Looking forward to your opinions on the following sort-of competitive list:

Emperor's Blade Assault Company 935 pts
CCS w/ Creed, regimental standard, medipack, flakk misssile launcher team (I know they're not the best choice, but I have no other anti-flyer capability), dedicated Chimera
3x Veteran squad w/ 3 plasma guns, forward sentries doctrine, dedicated Chimera
Hellhound w/ multi-melta

Armoured shield formation 240 pts
Commissar
Infantry squad
LR Eradicator w/ multi-meltas, lascannon and camo netting

Psykana division 135 pts
ML2 Primaris psyker -> this fellow gets a force weapon and Biomancy powers
5x Wyrdvane psykers

3x Psykana division consisting of a single ML1 astropath each, attached to each vet squad 75 pts

Enginseer congregation 65 pts
Enginseer
Servitor w/ plasma cannon

Enginseer congregation 50 pts
Enginseer
Servitor w/ servo arm

The Enginseers are attached to one vet squad each, so that the Shrouded benefit from the Shroudpsalm canticle can be exploited, plus they provide PotMS or occasional repair for the LR.

I am thinking about dropping some of the psykers and one of the enginseers and adding some deep strike capability by way of a MT allied detachment instead.

I honestly can't help you with the Psyker aspect, I've always shirked from it when playing IG. Maybe it will work for you. Like you said, you're pretty low on anti-air options, though a ready to go order Bring-it-Down order may make that missile launcher more effective than usual.

As for the Engineseers, can they attach themselves to a vet squad where they have a Servitor in tow?

Not with a servitor, but individually they can. The servitors are only there so that I have enough units in my army with the Canticles of Omnissiah rule for Shroudpsalm to provide Shrouded (with 1-3 units, it only provides Stealth, at least 4 are needed for Shrouded). I gave one servitor a plasma cannon so that it might make itself useful, the commissar from Armoured Shield can join this one to prevent mindlock.
