I'll update more soon but I was hoping for some general advice on the list. More specifically wondering what people think of the veteran squads and whether I should cut a few things to make room for Pask. Any thoughts are appreciated!

It looks fine, sort of the standard DW tournament list plus an assassin.
As it's closer to an Imperial Soup than it is DW w/ friends you could always drop a vet squad for Pask if you were needing some more anti-tank.

I do like the Thunder Hammer on Black Shields though, it's the Black Shield I've been running lately and I feel it adds another threat level to the squad. It isn't the internet sanctioned gear so you might get people telling you to drop them, but I like it.

I'd probably also drop the Tome, you're already spending a lot of CPs pregame, and that's before adding squads to the teleportarium, so that might be the place to save one.
Sometimes, you just gotta take something cause the model is freakin cool...

I would agree it seems fine. Only thing I would say would be to maybe consider dropping 2 of your 4 TH's on the Veteran squads and move those points into Mortars on your guardsmen.

Some extra indirect fire for things like, Dark Reapers, would be very helpful and it helps them actually do something while sitting on an objective somewhere.

Yeah the idea with the TH Black Shields was just to utilise their bonus attack and allow them to threaten heavier opponents. I agree that I'm spending lots of CP before the game but I feel like the tome could be really useful. I'll playtest both with and without, thankfully its free £ wise

I was thinking of 4x Marine squads like you....but instead opted out. Im thinking 3 is enough. Get more other things that way...like Straken guarding the rear.
