I most def like the moritat and mos, but i'm not sure for erebus... you won't conjure up daemons, so a chunk of his ruleset won't see any use -- if you want to put your warlord in the gal vorbak i'd suggest an iconoclast warlord or a slave to darkness warlord (for the extra attack on the whole squad or an extra beefy praetor)

Point of divergence here but I don't think the apothecarion detachment has to buy dark channeling as the apothecary will gain the special rules of the squad he's attached to (except grim purpose, bitter duty, etc)

Love to see an ashen circle squad to serve as ablative wounds for the moritat -- remember that you can detach the moritat from the AC whenever you need to charge with em flamy boys (as chainfiring with the moritat will prevent them from charging). Also keep in mind that you can equip the moritat to fight in melee, as he's still a centurion !

For the contemptor i'm not a big fan of the kheres assault cannon but why not, a contemptor is still a contemptor, no matter how he's equipped he'll probably wreck faces

I've never been a fun of gal vorbak with shooty options as shooting will invite a reaction and I don't think you want to eat a reaction in the shooting phase and an overwatch reaction... for what amounts to a few bolters and two melta guns

I like the corrupted assault squads, altho i'd probably replace the power sword with another power axe (3 power axes in a corrupted bloc is always a thing a beauty) - same here for the despoiler squad, i'd favor maxing power axes on serg and special options. Also, I'd had an apoth with a power axe to your despoiler blob; to get 5 power axes and a fnp 4+++ on objective

Not a fan of the volkite tss when you have the obvious (but pricy) warpfire tss option!

luv me melta skyhunter

luv me volkite hss

luv me gal vorbak spartan

luv me plasma predators

If I were to replace that unit with something any advice what?

#

As well Erebus is there to be a Chaplin/preator for me so I can run other characters
