Starting to work on ideas for a RG list and need help looking over ideas for the list. I am worried that it does not contain enough scoring units and have been thinking about switching out the chaplain for an Armistos and a legionary squad and removing the bayonets off of some of them. I left about 20 pt left over to add a cushion if they decide to increase the Deliverers point cost from the last edition. What do you think?

ROW = Decapitation Strike

Vigilator - Infravisor = 105pt
Librarian - Psychic Hood, Cameleoline = 140pt
Chaplain - Cameleoline, JP (Corvid Pattern), Melta Bombs = 155pt

10 Mor Deythan Strike Squad - Artificer, Infravisor, Melta bombs, Nemesis Bolter = 355pt
10 Deliverer Squad - Duel Ravens Talons = estimated 575pt

10 Tactical Squad - Artificer, Nuncio, Bayonet = 130pt
10 Tactical Squad - Artificer, Nuncio, Bayonet = 130pt
10 Tactical Support Squad - Meltas, Nuncio, Infravisor = 325pt

10 Dark Fury Assault Squad - Plus one Chooser, Melta bomb on both choosers, = 310ot

10 Heavy Support Squad - Artificer, Augery, Nuncio, Infravisor, Lascannons = 315pt

Corvus Corax = 140pt

Just a few thoughts:

Can't tell if it's just a typo and the sums are right (I assume it is) but Corax is 440 not 140!

Obviously we don't have the 2nd ed rules for Deliverers yet, but bear in mind that they're likely to carry over some sort of rule that causes complication if you're using them in an army with Corax. No reason not to take them, but just something else to bear in mind.

The infravisor is probably not needed on the Vigi, unless you're really worried about Night Fighting, whereas he'd probably love Cameleoline.

If you're worried about scoring units, can you maybe make room for a Recon squad with nemesis bolters? Good backfield campers who can contribute from afar. Conversely your Mor Deythan are probably better off without the Nemeses.

I haven't got a feel yet for the 'right' amount of anti-tank, but I wonder if the TSS and the HSS are both necessary and maybe you could swap one for a Dread

What discipline is the Libby and what unit is he gonna be with?

Snipers on Mor Deythan are an odd choice, something like Combi Volkite is better, and moving the Snipers to Recons or Seekers seems better to me

Are you planning on Deep Striking either Corax or the Deliverers? If so, be mindful of the deep strike restrictions, as they may lose you games

Yeah I'd go with combi-volkites for the Mor Deythans. Nemesis Bolter -although more lore-friendly to an extent- are underwhelming

Mor Deythan did use both snipers and close range weapons (in their short story they have stripped down plasma guns and missile launchers, which were less powerful but lighter)

#

So it fits lore wise

So in perfect timing the Deliverers rules are out now and they're looking OK - but now they can take power fists and chain fists it might be worth rethinking your load out, depending on the role you want them to play
