Hi! I've been working on trying out a few army list ideas and one I think would be fun for a semi competitive perspective would be a Fists lists with all the bolters. So here's my attempt. Any feedback to trim some fat would be great!

Brigade Siegebreker cohort

HQs:

Captain in Phobos armor - 99 - (Siegebreaker cohort warlord trait indomitable for a 6 inch aura of counts as in cover)
Lieutenant in phobos armor - 75 (For the 1 CP strat to give him a warlord trait. Likely Phobos +1 to hit)
Primaris Chaplain - 77

Troop:
Intercessor - auto bolt rifles - 90 Chainsword
Intercessor - auto bolt rifles - 90 Chainsword
Intercessor - auto bolt rifles - 90 Chainsword
Intercessor - auto bolt rifles - 90 Chainsword
Intercessor - auto bolt rifles - 90 Chainsword
Tactical Squad - heavy bolter, SB - 72

Elites
Aggressor Squad 6 - 222
Apothecary - 50
Primaris Ancient - 69
Redemptor Dreadnought Onslaught config - 161

Fast Attack:
Inceptor squad bolters - 123
Inceptor squad bolters - 123
Inceptor squad bolters - 123

Heavy Support:
Centurion Devastator squad Bolter config - 210
Eliminator Squad - 72
Eliminator Squad - 72


Idea being to give the +3 inch range to phobos captain, chapter master him and have a big ol aura of deepstrike denial, free cover and re-rolls. His offscrean mook lacky Lt. doing his darndest to help.
Centurions to soak fire and use their hyper efficiency with bolt weapons to destroy vehicles through the siegebreaker cohort stratagem.

I understand having only one vehicle is going have it eat all the anti tank, but that is kind of the plan. The half damage start will extend his life and allow him to absorb fire that may go into the other units like centurions or aggressors. Plus the strat to give another re-roll 1s aura.

I think the bigger issue isn't that your redemptor will eat all the anti-tank, it's that your centurions will. They're the tasty target and they'll be removed pretty sharpish. If you're going to rely on them as your anti-tank, you need a second squad.
