Looks nice maybe make the sentinels scout so they can outflank. I say this because I have not had much success with the armored. Also I think pask needs to be the warlord to get all the nice goodies.

I would either:

1) drop the second platoon, make the first platoon 4x infantry squads and add two priests; blob 2x squads and 1 priest twice for a nice fearless bubblewrap/midfield objective grabber.

2) drop the second platoon and add primaris psykers to help out your tanks/vets.

Also, be advised that the camo gear purchased for the CCS does not affect the commander; he needs his own camo gear purchased separately or runs the risk of being focus fired to death.

I cant imagine ever needing to fire 10 plasma cannons at a single target.

Drop the pask tank. Keep the executioners as 2 separate heavy supports. Give your infantry squads lascannons and get a couple of primaris psykers.

Two Ministorum Priests for those two blob squads would be cool

Both something to think about, seems priests are a popular option.

Perhaps 10 is a little overkill

I wont be dropping Pask, I like him and his rules.

Seemingly a popular choice, would they not be better maximising my veterans potential?

Priests are great for their fearless and their buffs in CC. Blobs are great for this because they are a CC tarpit, vets not so much.

Primaris Pskyers are a better match with the vets due to prescience. Add to that tank hunter/monster hunter from orders and you are rerolling to hit and wound/pen with lascannons and plasma guns.
