So I am a returning player (last played 5th edition) and I need some help. Here is a list I tried to come up with (this is basically all the pieces I own, and I wanted to try and include them all). I'm sure it's a pretty unconventional list, and Honestly I don't know exactly how to set up my lists in this edition, and Battlescribe is new to me. Help!

Strategy is basically encircle and swarm. Vets all load up in Valkyries and drop where they're needed. Rough Riders use the Tallharn stratagem to flank the sides of the board and attack infantry units. Chimera is loaded up with Crusaders, Ministorum Priest and Yarrik. Infantry squads, Lord Commissars and Primaris Psyker protect the two Basilisks and HWS. Scions drop in where needed, preferably behind enemy lines. Ratlings and Scout Sentinel scout forward and plink at targets.


Can I even play this list? Any thoughts? I don't want to buy anything new if I can avoid it, but I'm open to changes and improvements! Thanks Lads!
