Looking for those places to tighten up or drop dead weight.
As is, it is a Brigrade, so plenty of Cmd. Points. With Pask, it is Cadia, but I'm willing to make him a basic Tank Cmdr. and change to a different regiment Keyword.

I have a Shadow Sword (or other BIG tank), too, so having the Relic of Lost Cadia can be done, especially as how flooded with Chaos armies the meta is going to stay for the near future.

Pask: Gatling, 2 M-meltas, LasCan - 221
Co. Cmdr. - basic points - Laurels of Cmd or Kurov's Aquila?
Primaris Psyker - F-staff - 46

Astropath - - F-staff - 36
Commissar - basic points
Bullgryn x6 - 4 slabs & 2 Invunls - 252

Conscripts x20
Infantry x10 - basic points
Infantry x10 - basic points
Infantry x10 - basic points
Scions x5, plasmagun 2x13 - 61
Scions x5, Hot shot Volley gun 2x7 - 59

Taurox Prime, Gatling, x2 AutoCan, Stubber - 126

Heavy Weapons Squad, mortar x3 - 36
Wyvern x2, HB x2 - 202
Basilisk, Hb - 108

Rough Riders x5, x2 meltaguns - 64
Hellhound, Inferon Can, HB - 119
Scout Sentinels x3, 1 HF x2 Las Can - 162

Supreme Cmd. Detachment
Primaris Psykers x5 - 230

1974 points, so room to tweak

Lastly, calculating a ShadowSword's points, with 4 LasCans & Twin HB, it is 484 points, correct? Or is the BaneBlade the nastier toy? Seems so, but I see more SwhadowSes being fielded ....

ShadowSword with 4 sponsons is 540points - Not sure where you're getting the 484 from?

It kind of depends on what you're hunting.
I prefer the Shadowsword - Pretty much deletes whatever you're shooting at. A bit overkill in many situations though.

Base points (just under 400), plus 4 LasCannon sponsons at a score each. And the Twin HB's points, just over a dozen. 80 plus 14.

Ah, " ... each is sponson equipped with a LasCan & Twin HB or THF." So, 4 more TwinHBs will fill in the other 56 points.

Thanks!

Hey man, the first thing I would look at is trading that conscript squad for 2 infantry squads and if you want 20 of em, use a command point to join them. Conscripts now cost the same as infantry, and yet are ridiculously worse. Drop the commisar, much better off with a platoon commander carrying Pietrovs Mk45 with all those command points you can afford another relic. The only other thing you might look at is a tempestor prime to drop in with the Scions to re roll 1s.

Edit: just realised the 45 is Valhallan
