Looking for advice on editing UM list after Jan 23 point changes

The play-style / plan is intended to be an advancing death-ball around Guilliman. I like the unit variation and that it’s Primaris only. I must admit I have very little experience playing so that is part of the reason I rely heavily on feedback.

In January there were a lot of point cuts to UM and I think there are a lot of options to add to this list. I feel spoilt for choice so I’m really looking for advice on what would be the best adjustments to take advantage of the new changes.

Some thoughts based on earlier considerations:

\+Aggressor squad to boost the death-ball and help with hordes is a viable option?

\+Bladeguard Ancient?

\+extra Bladeguard to make a squad of 6?

Why I chose current units:

* Guilliman - the focus of the list
* Tigarius - UM bonuses
* Chaplain on Bike - supports Guilliman and with Relic and Mantra of Strength becomes a beat-stick
* Bladeguards - makes the death-ball with Guilliman
* Redemptor Dreadnought - Anti-hoard
* Intercessors - Objectives + ranged attackers
* Infiltrators - Early objectives, deployment cockblock
* Eradicators - Hard antitank
* Cheif Apoc - resurrecting a Bladeguard feels good
* Inceptors - for hitting enemy elites + a bit of horde control
* Victrix - death-ball boosters and character protection
* Eliminators - Ranged DPS
