I've now settled for a white scars list which has mobility and punch. Lacks a bit of ob sec and only way to upgrade those characters for better like indominus captain, I would either need to drop one aggressor, which then disallows me some tactical flexibility from combat squading or take the shield dome from the impulsor. Same goes for upgrading the troops choices to something else.. Anyways what do you see the biggest weaknesses from this list or any other comments?

Dual Patrol - 1996

Primaris chapter master - burning blade - master of snares
Primaris lieutenant - cyber-eagle helm
Primaris chief librarian - tome of malcador (null zone) - lightning call - ride the winds - storm-wreathed

How would you improve?

Thanks.

edited: added missing impulsor from the list.

Hard to pass up on blade guard vets in this chapter. Or more and bigger assault intercessors.

Don't see a impulsor there maybe you didn't add it?

Biggest weakness is obviously lack of obsec and lack of mobility for your obsec. I feel like those erads will have too much on their shoulders. When I still ran loyalists I found the autocannon better than the incendium btw. Gives the option to play less aggressive and would really bolster your anti tank.

Lastly the inceptors and aggressors are doing the same thing essentially. This is where I would look to trim some points to upgrade your HQ's and/or get some transports and more troops.

Here’s my take: Go bigger on the strengths of the chapter.

Scrap the eliminators, aggressors and get some more troops and transports. Autobolter intercessors with vet upgrades are great for WS. Increase the size of the inceptors to 5 and consider swapping up to plasma instead of assault bolters.

2 more impulsors will give more mobility to your HQ as well who can ride around with the vets/assault intercessors.

Not sure if 2CP is worth getting an extra HS slot for Eliminators. A battalion would not cost you much

Well, now added two more troops and one more transport, also switched to plasma inceptors.

Looking better?

I think that would be fun to play and play against. Clearly there’s a new codex on the horizon but I think that’s a pretty good list that doesn’t rely on spamming

Don't forget too that the bladeguard can go in impulsors as they aren't gravis so they can be quite aggressive and are great at getting on objectives.
