Given the quietness of the Army List Forum, I thought I'd throw this out there for a bit of critique. :)

Tactics:

- Delegatus joins the Fearless Veterans for a 3rd scoring unit, plus the Exterminators bonus on volkite serpentas.

- Damocles is pretty much there to unload it's Orbital Strike and manipulate Reserves (not that I have anything I need to).

- 3 las Vindicators for anti-tank, with Machine Spirit to split fire.

- 2 Dakka Preds to unload 26 BS5 shots into infantry/bikes/light vehicles.

- Medusae do what they do best - murderate.

- Kheres Mortis Dreads are the real gems though - 12 BS5 S6 Rending shots each, with Tank Hunters. :)

- I would recommend you do the math on 3 Mortis and 3 Mortis-type Cortus to see what the difference in production is. 

  - Taking a talon, would let actually make your list legal without the Damocles and give you some more non-tank choices as currently you have 7 tank units and 7 non-tank units

 

- I would drop dozer blades, on your tanks, since you ignore the first failed test anyway

 

- I would still put a vexilla on the vets so you can change their trait if you need to

 

- alternatively you could keep the Damocles and instead add a Dreadclaw which would let you DS the vets or better yet you could do a Terminator squad in a dreadclaw with chargers, and a small bike squad for the delegatus to join.
