What do you think?

I think you've done pretty well, though you don't have a lot of AT, and even less AA. Melta is a good way to go.
Also, Servitors and Jokaero are better at home defending your objectives, perhaps with your Inq hanging back, the hellrifle is a good shooter and the psyker trick is handy.
I'm partial to a Stormraven so if you expand, a second assassin and switching a Chimera for the SR would be a good place to go

Alright, tweaked the list abit. Not sure about a Raven, thought it might be good, I'm not a big fan of them.
But added some more AT, thought the AA is still pretty low. Here goes:

(Had 30pts to spare, so just threw in another basic scoring unit)
Henchmen Squad 4 - 30pts
x6 Acolytes, w/ Boltgun


1000pts

Thing is that by adding the Jokaero to the Meltagun Acolytes I hope to get the improved range on them,
thus making them equal to multi-meltas. Then I'd have 10 Multi-meltas (four with 36 range), with lucky rolls that is.
Coteaz and Inquisitor join one Jokaero squad each to buff with Divination.
Psyker squad is kinda experimental, would appreciate some C&C about that. With 8 of them, at 80 points I get a str 10, ap 1, 36 range, large blast.
The tank popping power of this list is kinda nice, as is taking out any TEQs. Still low on AA though.
Any ideas for how to better spend the last 30pts (the last squad of henchmen) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You have a grand total of *no* cc units, Crusaders are basically bullet shields. Some DCA or Arco-Flagellants wouldn't be a bad investment just in case.
IMO jokaero work well with Servitors camping on home obj, with your inq in there you don't even have to roll for mindlock.
I like your psyker squad, it's like the best and worst unit, it will either annihilate anything, or PotW and kill itself. Such is life for a psyker.

Ok, changed one squad to a CC squad, what do you think?

Henchmen Squad 3 - 223pts

Henchmen Squad 4 - 24pts
x2 Psyker
x1 Acolyte

Wasn't sure about the Plasma Cannons on the Servitors, perhaps Multi-Melta are better and cheaper?
What do you think about dropping the Plasmas and boosting the last squad with some more manpower (x2 Crusaders = 30pts).

C&C welcome!
