AEGIS DEFENCE LINE WITH QUADGUN

Seems like a good start. Kell is of dubious amounts of use for the points he costs, these days, but if you intend to issue a lot of orders he could start to pay for himself.

Consider putting some heavier firepower into your infantry squads- maybe put those missile launchers into the infantry. That way, they have a buffer of wounds to die before they do.

Might as well upgrade the vanquishers to have lascannons as well. The commisar is going to be joining what? A priest may be more effective for the same point cost. What in biomancy will you be trying for with your psykers?

The comisar is going to join the conscrips fpr meat shield

I too would consider dropping Kell,for his points he doesnt seem worth it to me.

I might suggest using some of his points to add a priest to your meat shield,and perhaps use the left over points to add special weapons to your squads

Agreed priest is the same price as a commissar and it gives fearless/hatred over stubborn and summary execution.

I would also agree drop kell, and drop your psykers to level one. all you really want is presicence. and adding your HWS into the infantry blob makes them cheaper and better protected.

Also remember if youre using creed to work the quad gun you are only going to be able to use MoO on what you are shooting the quad gun at.

look at adding the lascannons to the russes, they are your Anti tank after all, add the priest over the commisar. I would also suggest 4 flamers and a chimera for your PCS for late turn objective snatching. you would still have points to spare for special weapons.

Also creed rerolls failed orders and so does vox casters so unless vox casters do more I would consider dropping them as they are wasted.
