Hi guys,
So my new project for 2022 is to start a thematic force of the four loyalist legions on Isstvan III, included if possible a character and a unit of each, using the shattered legions rules.
After a quick re read of the legions army list, I came up with this, which is quite pleasing and thematic (I wish to use only a few vehicles at most). But as you can see there ... almost no anti tank weaponry.
But first, do you see any glaring legal flaw in this list ?

You can only have 3 HQ choices in a Crusade force org which means you can only use the rules for 3 Legions. You're going to have to drop a Legion and an HQ. Personally I wouldn't bother with 3 Legions and I think you should pick 2 and focus on them.

I also wouldn't take Reavers as they are just awful and honestly I'd drop the Assault Squad as well. Breachers are fine but unless you know you're playing in Zone Mortalis or against loads of low AP blast weapons then Tactical Squads are the better option. You need heavier firepower so look at adding a Heavy Weapons Squad, Rapier Batteries or Contemptors that aren't Rylanor.

Plus I wouldn't bother taking 15 strong units, there's no point. Just take 10 strong and get more units on the field or max out other units at 20 strong for a heavy hitter.
