Alright! So I'm making a "for fun" list. The fluff is that the force is a pro-imperial insurgency force, working to overthrow a psyker cult that had taken over the planetary government. The force is composed of elite soldiers, so I'm going to use the beret heads from the militarum tempestus scions and putting them on the guardsmen for the Veteran squads. I think the death strike missiles would be fun. I bought the Cadian Defense Force so I've got those to play around with. Just need some ideas for a good paint scheme... Geared for city fighting terrain. I'm thinkin something royal looking: purple, beige, red, gold. As if they have the city guard uniforms on to infiltrate. Just a thought.

Thank you in advance anyone who gives their input .

It looks fun, but I would drop the lascannons off of the ordnance tanks and invest in an aegis for your artillery.

Good idea!

Demolisher is probably the worst Russ in our book presently, pask isn't really that great in a blast tank. I would recommend a vanquisher with lascannon for him.

Oh ok! Thank you for your insight

I would drop pask all togetheralong with the lascannons, and take a third battle tank instead of the demolisher.

You have Vox in all the troop squads but not the command squad. They are hardly worth it in my opinion.

Why only 2 special weapons per vet squad?

I would also drop harker. he is pointless now.

Dont forget that larget blast is twilinked iirc.

Also I would recommend dropping pask in general too unless he is your warlord. The preferred enemy he and his squadron get with his warlord trait seems like wasted points if you couldnt use it. So swap him for the standard TC.

Also as others mentioned you have to have a vox in the sending unit and one in the receiving unit in order to work. Also the tempestor can only issue one order but scion squads within 12 or 18'? (i cant remember) use his leadership so its kinda pointless to have voxs on the scions unless that rule doesnt work for orders then go ahead and use them, but it seems pointless to have so many points in voxs and only 1 guy making use of them with one order.

These are filthy treasonous lies about the demolisher. There is no more fit vessel for the imposition of the Emperor's glorious will.

Oh right! Ok took out some krak grenades and added a vox to the tempestus command squad.

Yea I was hoping the tempestus command squad would be useful for veteran orders too. But you may have a point with getting rid of them... Does save a lot of points
