I bought the GSC Insurrection Battleforce box a while back, and with the new box set coming out soon I thought I'd pick that up and try get my army to 1500 points! I don't play in a super competitive meta, but also don't want to get tabled by the second turn every game, so just looking for thoughts on whether this list looks ok or if there's any obvious mistakes I'm making. Also I know Metamorphs aren't considered very competitive but I a) love the models b) don't just want to spam purestrains and c) need another elite for the vanguard Also, where possible I'm trying to stick with the more mining/industrial themed Cult and not the AM side (although I think the Sentinel could be painted up to look more industrial than military)

So far what I own; Patriach, Primus, Magus, Familiars, 30 Neophytes (proper ones), 10 Neophytes+heavy weapon team (AM with upgrade sprue), 5 Acolytes, Goliath truck/rockgrinder, 16 Purestrains.
