PHR Athenas are just insane! I feel like one is a must include (as you have) but you might even consider running two.

But from what I know of PHR the list looks nice as-is, very balanced.

I like the look of the list.

Currently anti-tank appears to be your weak point, but you do have a lot of strong points. You have four squads of infantry (including close quarters specialists) for objective taking, three dedicated anti-air units, and what is arguably the best fast mover in the game. Your Helios can also double as make-shift anti tank if necessary with sheer quantity of shaped charge rockets that it can dish out.

I would personally switch the Helios out for a pair of Ares, but that is a because I feel that two squads of phobos have you adequately covered for anti-air at this level. A squad of Ares would add a little more firepower and protection from massed armor and offer you more accurate long ranged firepower against Scourge skimmers.

I agree: add one unit of Ares. You can never get everything in a list at 1500 points.

I like the Athena but have yet to try it. It seems very random. I would not risk it to AA fire early so it can be available to stop an enemy light dropship escaping later in the game with an objective! If you get it early, I would suggest making cautious use of it.

Cheers,
Sword

I think I will switch out one of the phobos units for an ares one. I would prefer to keep the helios as my secondary AA unit as it can deal quite well with the dreaded ucm drone horde. Thanks for your advice, Ill have a second list up in a bit!
EDIT; and here it is!
