This is basically just a "Goodstuff" list. My only worry is not enough Vanguards to keep my Kataphrons buffed. The alternative is to drop the Infiltrators and solo Ballistarii to make room for another unit.

Thoughts?

Hi there! If I was you I'll get rid of Cawl (he's too expansive for what he do from my point of view). Also I'll drop one onager and take two more (or at least one) units of vanguards, may be one in dunerider. Finally more las-chickens won't hurt.
I have pretty much the same list

Cawl is definitely too pricey. Wish he was at least 30pt cheaper. However, the Stealth helps with shooting and he is no slouch in combat. That value added component seems good, even if not perfectly optimal. Plus, the model is so good!

I don't see the benefit of the Ballistarii so much. I had one because I have one unbuilt box still, but they look kinda underwhelming. I added it because it was an exact fit!

Well I'm just saying that he's not worth it. For his cost you can take much more units. Don't get me wrong -1 to hit against shooting is pretty good but there're negatives such as he's monster, bad melee and shooting (better than bolt pistol and chainsword but not by far - he is not a killer).

About lack of benefit of Ballistarii. It's problem of our datasheets. You have one unit to play with (breachers of cours) and everithing else is mediocre because you have non damage out of them. But you still need to do missions such as engage and survivability of out units per points is quite good.

You aren't wrong. I'll see if I can scrape together another TPD. That gives me points for more toys.

Also, can't wait for the next balance update so maybe we won't be so stuck in that formula. Breachers being our only good unit is a bummer.

I agree. Hope for the best prepare for the worst. And sorry for grammar mistakes.
