Start with 15 CP after maniple and giving WL traits then spend additional 5 CP to deep strike Punchy Kastelan, Datasmith, Manipulus, and Corpuscarii priests. Then you can should to spend 2 or 3 more CP to boost the invuln of breachers. I wanted to put in destroyers for elim volley but they were too expensive and the three battalion is necessary for CP. I know its a lot to spend at the beginning but it is manageable to work with the 7 or 8 left over.

This is my first list ever please give me criticism.

Thank you!!

If you deep strike the Manipulus he doesn’t get his Galvanic field aura when he arrives on the battlefield. Since youre running Lucius anyway I’d give him the solar flare instead to get him where you need him to be.

That is true plus it saves me the CP of deep striking.

Thank you!

Dakkastelans are 110 points each, its a mistake about free phosphor blasters.

Thanks I forgot about that!

I updated the list had to take out a unit of electro priests and replace the non solar flare manipulus with an enginseer.

Technically we dont know. We ASSUME it is a mistake. RAW they are at the lower price, no arguing against that.
Also might consider stuffing the Kastelans in the same detachment and making it a Cybernetica Cohort. The Fistibots will love the increased charge range.

I thought about that but the FNP is a nice thing to have and with the way I want to run the list Spending more pregame CP might limit me too much. If anything, I would move them into the third battalion so that they had wound regeneration but I like the feel of three Onagers. However, If I removed one and replaced it with the Dakka bots then I could bring back the second unit of electro priests. I just have to play test it some more to see if I am comfortable with running two Onagers. Thank you for the advice, as someone who is farely new to the game I love to hear your thoughts on my list.
