I've got 181 points left. Could toss some miscellaneous upgrades on, but not sure where.
Alternatively, I could drop a Thallax squad to drop it under 2,000 for that point level.

Archmagos goes with Castellax, by the by.

I'd split a squad out of the thallax with a MM:

Redux! Dropped the Thralls and Priests,added more Thallax, some weapon upgrades, and a Myrmidon Host.

I logged on to suggest some Myrmidons, but I see that you're already ahead of me. Good show, JNA, good show.

What's your Warlord trait for your Magos? Depending on that you might not want to take any fancy weapons.

Issues that I see:

Very little long range shooting.
Very little crowd control
Almost no assault/anti assault.

If you're giving thrallax melta bombs/mm then they're vehicle hunters and aren't hanging back. At that size they're a huge tarpit unit so that is a plus.

Rotor guns under perform. One rotor gun is almost useless- save the points.

Warlord Trait I am not sure.

Rotor Gun and a few other miscellaneous upgrades on the Archmagos are just cause I had a few points left over. I don't expect the Rotor to do damage often, but an occasional Shell Shock pinning test should be nice.
