Man I've just tried to write a list like this but got cut down to one lascannon lol. Looks great.

More poxwalkers would be sensible surely?

Not sure all the tax units are worth the CP tbh

I don't know how to run it without 15CP - I need to use ~5 a turn!!! Even with the Talleyman I could run out late game.

I want more poxwalkers and more cultists, but don't know how to get them and still have the 12 lascannons for Magnus.

So havocs are not characters. What is stopping you from getting them targeted first turn, erased, and then having nothing left to fight against big baddies? A baneblade base is enough to deny you obsec.

I would try to hide them from things that can outright kill them. Maybe something more like this:


That was worse.

I have to gamble on the havocs and try to get the horde across the board i guess.

Any idea how to deal with Magnus and big tanks for less than 500 points?

Well magnus is 400ish points so to try to deal with him for 500 is going to be tough as he is slightly under costed. You really have a few options

1) Shootie - PBC(?) probably you could try helbrute for the double shot strat
2) Smite spam - 500 points of smtie chars behind you wave can add up even on magnus (he can only deny 3 times - assume magnus will be frontline)
3) Hard melee - magnus is tough but if you camp a couple big bads bubble wrapped and charge magnsu all in one turn he'll take some damage

I would probably try to go for helbrute (some variant based on FW FAQ) and drop the strat on him for double shoot. Magnus HAS to charge in first turn - in which case the brute probably doesn't have to move and can double shoot.
