This is for a tournament in August. We get points for being themed. This is all my admech that I own so please no suggestions of more from those codexes. I am not going to be able to buy much more till after the tournament. I have more Space Marines and Astra Militarium but few of the good heavy vehicles. The Knight is my only Super heavy. And this is how my inquisitor is modeled but I might be able to get more vits to kitbash another.

I'm curious - what is the background for this list?

So the leaders of an STC expedition are the Magos and the Techmarine. The Magos and his escort of Skitarii are on a STC search mission and requested the assistance of the Bloodmoon Hunters Chapter ( Local Iron Hands Successor) and the Knight is sworn to help the chapter and that particular magos. Mr. Inquisitor is actually Ordo Machinum and following the expedition for inquisition reasons.

Idea number two for my army.

Put all the arc rifles in the maniple squad for better synergy.

How if I Drop the Conversion beamer and Pick up a Plasma Culiver in the Dominus Vanguard?

I think drop the later radium and possibly the tech marine altogether to buff up the other squads and get more special weapons.
Instead of the caliver try to get more grav I think

Hmm interesting ideas. I don't have any more grav except for a pistol models, do you think that would do? if I was to buff up the squads how would you suggest?

Also in that formation am not worried about gets hot as it is rerollable.

Mainly more guys if you have the points/models

Hmm, Well I guess I could add another Space Marine Squad maybe bare bones or with a flamer.

Does the techmarine count as an HQ slot in the CAD?

Yes it does and with the supplement I can get two more per HQ as non HQ at the same cost per techmarine.
