So, my idea here is:

  • Argel accompanies the Gal Vorbak (providing extra Line)
  • Zardu's unit also has extra Line
  • The Esoterist either uses Deep Strike or his Jump Pack to move up the field as quick as possible and summon Ka'bandha into the enemies face...

SHASHASHA! Pocket sand!

Argueably, I could make the list better by subbing in an Assault Squad instead of the Ashen Circle and having the Esoterist accompany them... but, with both the Circle and Terminators, I just think the models are cool 😅

I did have to cut one Tact squad from 15 to 10 to fit everything in so, while it's not the best list... or maybe even a good one... it's strikes a balance, for me, between playable and rule-of-cool

Just about the only issue I think you’re going to have is anti-tank. All the AT you have is melee based. The Mhara Gal is at least fast, and Ka’Bandha will reliably demolish a unit per turn regardless of what it is (aside from Primarch deathballs).

You’re at risk of getting absolutely hammered by certain tank setups…but once you actually get into melee you’re likely smash the tanks apart.
