With the new codex recently released I've got an idea for an army list using double battalions so i have enough CP for the new stratagems, but i thought id throw it to the dakka sharktank to get ripped to pieces before i commit to buying anything

imperial fist chapter trait

1st battalion

primaris captain, master crafted auto bolter, power sword,

primaris lietenant, master crafted auto bolter

10 intercessors, power sword, auxiliary grenade launcher bolt rifles

5 intercessors, power sword, auxiliary grenade launcher bolt rifles

5 intercessors, power sword, auxiliary grenade launcher bolt rifles

3 eliminators, bolt sniper rifles, camo cloaks

3 eliminators, bolt sniper rifles, camo cloaks

2nd battalion

phobos captain, camo cloak master crafted instigator bolt rifle

primaris chaplain (either +1 wound or +1 to hit litanies)

5 intercessors, power sword, auxiliary grenade launcher stalker bolt rifles

5 scouts heavy bolter

5 scouts heavy bolter

5 devastators, 4 grav cannon and grav amp, cherub

5 devastators, 4 grav cannon and grav amp, cherub

drop pod, storm bolter (for dropping at least one dev squad, potentially 2 depending on match up)

which leave me with roughly 50ish point which is quite an awkward number but i could make a few changes here and there to squeeze in an apothecary or ancient since its mostly a foot slogging army. the main idea is have the primaris captain the warlord with the ignore moral bubble and the vox relic, and upgrade him to chapter master, and then have the phobos as potentially a second warlord with the relocate 3 phobos units (my thoughts are set up eliminators aggressively forward or to stop other infiltrator style units and then before the game starts redeploy them somewhere more sane)

How will you deal with heavy armor and knights? The Grav-Devs are a strong choice now but, as your list stands, a suicide unit that likely won't be on the board after turn 1. After that, you have bodies but no real AT punch. Hellfire rounds will help, but that'll get CP expensive

In fact, the army is a bit weak in the anti-tank department.
This is still a glaring weakness of Primaris armies.

In my local meta there aren't any knight players so I've got that at least, but it does seem a little light on anti-tank. Is there any anti-tank you would suggest (preferably not repulsor based because I'm not a huge fan of the model)

Centurions can put out a lot of dakka
