Considering the CA points changes to Admech I found I was able to finally make the list I wanted to make using all 50 of my Skitarii infantry. The idea is to have lots of objective holding, and redundancy, as well as special weapons dispersed across the table. Also, with the Stygies trait I think 50 troops should be pretty hard to kill. The auxiliary detachment is so the 10 sicarians can use the mars stratagem to spam mortal wounds as an answer to a variety of targets.

Currently the list comes to 1855pts with the brigade and auxiliary detachment, leaving 145pts, and has 14 CP. I was thinking of fielding the Elucidian starstriders with the remaining points for the cool factor, and because they can deepstrike and help with mobility, but I'm open to suggestions!

My main worry is mobility, so any critiques on how to improve on that front are most welcome. Please let me know what you think!

You have a lot of smaller units - if you're concerned about mobility, could you aggregate some of the units and send them down range with the Stygies Infiltration stratagem?

Similarly, making the 2x Dragoons one unit makes them a good candidate. The Balistarii can be broken into 2x units. Onagers are still good recipients for the Skitarrii +2 to Hit stratagem.

I do like the option of giving the 4 lascannons on the ironstriders +2 to hit if I need it, plus it makes the the other ironstrider stratagems more effective, but what do you think of adding one dragoon to each unit for 4 dragoons overall? Then I can merge 2 of the smaller ranger squads to make one unit of 10 with a data tether and 3 arc rifles, leaving a naked unit of 5 to sit back on objectives and help the backfield screen. That also leaves me points to throw a power sword on the second vanguard unit, drop the arc maul on the first one to a power sword, and take a heavy stubber on the icarus onager for some extra dakka.

Although I am very tempted to try to shoehorn UR-025 into an auxiliary detachment for the fun of it. He can do some not bad damage for a 40pt character

Id drop the arc rifle ranger squads and dragoons for 1 vanguard and 2 balistarii

2 solo dragoons arnt enough to melee so either make them a big blob or dont bother
