Here is a list I am working on that I would like to get some opinions about. I am just looking for advice as to how I can tweak it. In a 2k point game I have 131 points left over and I think I would likely take an Aegis with 100 of it but maybe you guys have some other ideas. Toss me your 2 cents guys; I would love to hear it.

Im interested in running a list similar to this. Im just curious do the henchman count as troops? If not I see having only 2 troop choices pretty worrying at 2000 points.
Also I would add another plasma to the CCS just because. Maybe upgrade the LRBT to a Vanquisher variant, or a punisher depending on what you mostly come up against.

Coteaz makes the henchmen count as troops.

Careful its 205pts for those henchmen squads. 80 + 60 + 65. Those psyker-plas cannon squads are units ive really been wanting to run recently. Let us know how they go!
Find 9 pts and get a banewolf in there! Should help take fire off those chimeras and keeps with the rest of your theme.
I know its picking at little things here but coatez makes henchmen scoring - not troops. Might make a difference for some rules somewhere or other. I make the same mistake as well often enough

Well if you really want to max out the theme of templates swap out all the special weaps on the IG for grenade launchers cuz more templates.

Where are the getting the 65 From?
It's 55 for a chimera and 5 points for the Psybolt ammunition for it so the cost is 80 (psykers) + 60 (plasma Servitors) + 60 (Chimera /psybolt) = 200 points

I would do that but I have never been impressed by granade launchers. so I went with the far more reliable plasma. Not to mention it gives me more firepower vs flyers as a back-up in case my vendettas go down. Templates can't hit flyers.

im not sure on this, but im pretty sure that both the warbands are bought under coteaz so technically the one riding with the divination inquisitor will still suffer from mindlock

EDIT: I might be thinking of the GK codex since warbands are always troops for =][= IIRC, but im not sure

Hang on isn't a chimera in the inquisition dex 60pts without psybolts? My phone broke last week so I will have to go back on my BL account to download it again and check...
Sorry If we are talking GK as I have no idea.
An inquisitor prevents mindlock in the inquisition dex and coatez just makes them scoring so theybare fine if he goes inquisition dex.
