why a command psyker? also its a good list but the vendeta will get shot down turn 1

Its a risk but the vendettas 6 twin-lnk lcanons are indespensible + making them a sqadron will hopefully save them from some of the flack.
As for why the primaris; potential 12 str 6 shots, and 4 force weopon attacks.

I would definitely not put Vendettas in a squad so they can move seperately and so that a single Autocannon won't shake them both in one turn. I'd drop the heavy stubbers, upgrade the GL Vets to Melta too, drop one LR's sponsons to make it a mobile shooter while giving the other two Plasma Sponsons. That just means you gotta drop 5 points somewhere or leave one group with with 2 melta and one GL. Or maybe work in 2 Demolishers and a LRBT with Plasma? Demos would work well to move forward with Chimeltas as shields.

I don't think that Heavy Stubbers put out enough wounds to make it worthwhile on a heavy hitter like LR, while it sometimes has uses on a Chimera who will sit still. People get excited about it being a defensive weapon but fail to realize that either the Chimera should be moving full 12" to get its troops in close and will probably only get to move under 6" once or twice and with having only a 24% chance of killing MEQ it doesn't seem too amazing. Especially since it'll give wound allocation shenanigans to your enemy, something you should avoid! Heavy Bolters are similar. If you face Hordes then HBs can be great, but otherwise they rarely pan out.

Fair point about sqding up the vendettas, an extra unit will at least have the advantage of splitting some firepower, but tactics are situational so i'll see how it goes, While i appreciate the arguments against HB's and the humble HS i'm putting them in purely because i wanted this army to be solid enough to take on all comers, against MEQ's and armour their effectivenness is obiviously going to go down but as each LR can shoot on average 10 times including the bcanon this is going to hurt someone... As for the demolishers; they seem a little too close range to be worth the pts/risk, but i am tempted by the plasma canon sponsons,,,
Thanks for the suggestions!
