Pretty sure that is legal. Now if it is good or not... no idea. I mean, with all that free wargear, it certainly has a bunch of bells and whistles. I tossed in the Cav just for the extra armor on the cheap. Thoughts on improving the list? Anything I miss? As a caveat, I am trying to keep my Cult Mech portion to the bare minimum components, but I am open to ideas.

Any input before I toss down some cash on those Cult Mech units?

Your Cult side looks good but your Dragoon or Ironstrider will need to go in your strider detatchment, it's either or for the Battle Maniple. So obviously the Dragoon since the other two have lascannons and just drop the serpenta off the dragoon.

Whoops. Thought it was both! Well, yea, that works. Easy fix. Otherwise seem viable?

Why not the Gauntlet on the Dominus to fix the Crusader as it takes damage?

Why no phosphoenix in with the plas cavs? In fact why the complete lack of relics in the Skitarii? They're free why not take them? Infiltrators want the taser goads always. Hatred on them can be fun too though the Ruststalkers also make great use of it.

I would personally like to see a bunker with escape hatch for the Destroyers though can't remember if the Battle Congregation has a Formation slot.

Overall it is a fairly typical War Convocation with the issues inherent to the list.

Fling, anything absent is ignorance of what works. I don't play the army, I literally just got it. I will look at what you mentioned, which with the War Convocation is easy to fix, since it isn't a points issue. I like this formation just because it is easy to tinker with. lol

So, revised:

Pretty sure that covers the changes, sans the fortification. Not my cup of tea with that.

The gauntlet is called the uncreator gauntlet not the gauntlet of the dominus.

Duly noted. Didn't have the Cult Codex in front of me.
