Hello!

Hoping to get some input on practicality of this list. I think pathfinders + gunrig is pretty durable and punchy, and the fleets of gun drones will hit mobs hard with BS 3+ 48 carbine shots. Melee battlesuits to back it all up.
Sidenote: I noticed GW doesnt have gunrig ln their store anymore… Whats up with that?

An army (or a Crusade force) cannot include the same Prototype System more than once.

So you have just one unit with the Thermoneutronic Projector

I'm just going to say it...this looks awful. First off you can only ever have ONE of any proto system so two of those thermo flamers have to go. Second...pathfinders? Durable? They have a 5+ save and you haven't given them any of their drones to help their durability. Any army at this points level will be able to shoot half of them off the field per turn.
Those bodyguards do nothing, 400pts of extra wounds for your commander who they can't even keep up with if you want to make use of his speed.
