Why heavy bolters if you have so many conscripts. Just take more AV and mortars right?

How many of which detachments are you planning on using?

Did you mean ACs although I had a very similar thought. Since mortars on average will get 3-4 shots and have farther range. As well as being cheaper.

I found the AC is very nice with 2damage. Although I may take one or two groups of ML just for the versatility they offer.

My biggest fear obviously is snipers with this list.
So those will be the first targets after that most things are shooting to wound big targets and force moral check on units. No point in destroying a unit when you can hinder it for later or make it kill itself.

And it would likely be 4 spearheads. I am not concerned with command points as much, I just need one to reroll seize the initiative. Any others are a bonus atm, since there is no major game changing aspect for this type of list.

You can mix HWTs now - I'd consider using some heavy bolters or mortars to tank for your more expensive lascannons.

I'm intending to get a lot of mileage out of teams with 2 HBs and a lascannon.

I'd recommend sgt harker in there as he will give some benefit to your army, and possibly priests and astropaths and commisars will help to give longevity to your conscript squads
