If you don't deepstrike with the Strike Squad then they're goign to be footslogging, and that means open to a lot of fire before they get to do anything. Conversely you can use them to guard an objective close to your starting lines...

The henchmen i'm a bit meh about. The psykers at 5 men mean you're throwing out a Str 7 AP2 large blast at 36", but your plasma gunners are at BS3 and can only reach 24".

I'd prefer either Plasma Cannon Servitors or upgrading the psykers to a full 7 or 8 man squad (Str 9 or Str 10 large blast!)

The 2 dreadnoughts should both have Autocannons. No point having asasult cannon if you're firing autocannons at beyond 24"

I'm almost wondering if it wouldn't be better to DROP coteaz, take 2 inquisitors to go with the henchmen as elites and get ANOTHER strike squad in....

More firepower from the Chimaeras, with Reroll to hit and reroll on Scatter for Plasma Cannons and Pyskers!

Strike Squads are split but they can still take an objective or hit rear armour from deep strike

Sorry, but the lists are very hard to read. I'd prefer a list that fits on the screen.

Henchmens: To keep the Plasma Guns gives me the option to move the chimeras and i combination with beeing Troops they can effectly move and capture objectives with this loadout. Unless im mistaken. I feel that if I give them Plasmacannons they are gonna be to stationary and wont have the ability to make a good Move->shoot-capture objective manouvre.

Tough im not to sure that the 2x flamers in the guards squad is worth it. 10pts.

Dreads: Agree. Really just took the Aussaultcannon is because the model has one.
