With the pre-game move + obsec, I see little need for blobs of Core. I'm also taking nothing that would buff them anyway. The Auxilliary detachment costs 2 CP but gets me the DDA without having to waste points on another HQ and Troop, which would itself also cost 2 CP anyway. The Plasmancer has the Veil to make secondaries like Engage easier.

Any thoughts are appreciated

I think the Veil is wasted in this point you have only the 5 Imortals to teleport on the Battlefield and they will be Dead in 2 Turns, so in my opinion not neccesary.

Does seem like a waste but there doesn't seem to be anything else remotely useful to put on a cryptek

Just give him the Gauntlet still better then the Veil.

How are you getting 3 HS slots for the patrol for the three doomstalkers?

Crap, I also didn't catch that the Lokhust is HS, I've gone WAY over on that slot! I blame the lack of BS update, I can't be trusted to work this stuff out myself. I swear Destroyers used to be FA... now they've shoved them into HS to compete with all the actually good HS choices. Someone in GW must really hate Destroyers.
So, this list idea is dead, I may as well pay the 3CP for a Spearhead and be done with it.

My recommendation would be to try and swap the plasmancer for a second technomancer. Put that technomancer into a spearhead along with all your heavy support then make that detachment sautekh and pay for him to have an additional warlord trait, Hyperlogical strategist will pay for itself and likely also cover the extra cost of the spearhead. To top it off methodical destruction will be a significant help when focusing down tough targets you need to deal with fast. Just a suggestion on trying to salvage the idea.
