Each HQ join a Thanatar: they're just augmenters/healers holding cortex controllers. On one the left and one on the right as anchors for the battle line. With any luck The Logic of Victory will get used quite often.

Castilax hold the middle with the Tech Auxiliary behind them. Each unit is within 12" of an HQ so that's x2 cortex controllers for the -2 on cover saves. Thrallx will deep strike/assault and target armor and causing a headaches behind enemy lines, while the two 7" mortar blasts make a mess of infantry formations. Thralls stay in transports until they're by an objective and pile out.

Ursex are counter assault making sure enemies don't get too close to the HQ units.

I wasn't sure about swapping out Ursex for Myrmidon Destructors but I just have a hard time seeing that unit actually doing anything of value.

I think you'll have trouble getting much from the Thallax that way. They have low LD, so even though they are stubborn, they are prone to being easily pinned and/or running away without having LD support. Plasma-fusils are not terrible, but won't do much to the very same targets you want to hit with the melta-bombs, so a photon thruster can be better for the lance rule, then you have that chance of blinding, say, a dreadnought and putting melta bombs on them on a 2+ as well. The gets hot from the photon thruster is not as big of a deal as you might expect.

Counter point for the plasma fusils, it does allow you to have a bigger anti-infantry threat for when you're not in range of vehicles / non are presented.

still, a naked squad of 6 thallax with melta bombs can still go very far.
