I've pulled some of the best units from the Imperial Codexes into one 2000 point force that can take on any extreme lists. I've brought 2 Paladins, 2 Exorcists, 2 Eradicators and 2 Immolators along with scoring in the form of snipers and infantry squads. Got hordes? This list can handle it. Got mech? No problem. Got MCs? Again, taken care of. Flyers? This list can take your ground forces out making flyers a non-issue. Here is the list:

HQ 360 pts
Inquisitress (Ordo Hereticus), Warlord – Ordo Hereticus Traits
Canoness
Leman Russ Eradicator (Heavy Bolter) with Tank Commander (BS4) + Leman Russ Eradicator (Heavy Flamer)

Allied Detachment 750 pts
2x Knight Paladins

Heavy 250 pts
2x Exorcists

Troops 540 pts
Platoon Command Squad (5), 1x Sniper Rifle
Infantry Squad (10)
Infantry Squad (10)
Infantry Squad (10)
Special Weapons Squad (6), 3x Sniper Rifles
Special Weapons Squad (6), 3x Sniper Rifles
Special Weapons Squad (6), 3x Sniper Rifles
Sisters (5), 1x Flamer, Immolator with TLMM
Sisters (5), 1x Flamer, Immolator with TLMM

Fortification 100 pts
Aegis Defense Line with Quad Gun

The Paladins will move forward to take on any high-threat opponents quickly, with Eradicators behind them spewing their 36" Str6 AP4 ignore cover large blasts at different targets. Exorcists will shoot at TEQ or medium tanks with their 48" Str8 AP1 D6 shots while the Sisters move up in their Immolators shooting at high AV tanks with their TL multimeltas and taking out troops sitting on objectives with their flamers. Behind the ADL the Canoness will shoot the Quad Gun (48" Str7 AP4 Heavy 4 TL) at flyers or other targets with her BS5 with an Infantry Squad providing wounds. Inquisitress will sit back on an objective with another Squad, a third Infantry Squad sitting on another objective while 3 Special Weapons Squads with a total 9 sniper rifles provide support. The PCS will sit where needed.

The tanks and paladins are all AV13 or AV14 (Immolators are AV11), with 9 scoring units.

Looks competitive to me. Any room for improvement? Critiquing of list welcomed....

As you have already said, you have good AT/AH but lack good AA, depending on your meta this may not be a problem, but coming across 4 drakes with just a quad gun gives me the sad panda face (yes that bad).

To give you a little bit more AA you can always turn special weapons into heavy weapons teams with HB/AC, regardless I don't for see the sniper rifles doing much.

Other then that looks good, and good luck!

Love it, competitive and unique. As said, weigh up what you need the least because you need a way to deal with flyers more than you need that
