I would split the 3 quad launchers into 3 single units, it means they can't all be targetted at once by a single unit.

 

I would also recommend taking extra CCW on the large tactical squad that the praetor is joining. You have spent a lot of points on the praetor so you want him to be in assault, best to gear his squad towards it.

 

I'd try and fit some power scythes in on your sergeants, they're really great and very fluffy.

 

what tactics are your veterans using? weapon masters? I'd try and take a few more power weapons in the unit as they'll be trying to get into assault

 

I would recommend standard vindicators over laser destroyers, it feels more fluffy and the S10 AP2 large blast is great for infantry and vehicle hunting.

 

The javelins don't feel like they fit in the list very well, I'd personally consider taking them out and trying to find a better transport for your veterans/garro. Alternatively you could take 4 deathshroud in a phobos and join garro and a primus medicae to them!

Can't split the quad launchers into three units as there is also the apothecary detachment. I could take one and two and the apothecaries is well. I personally like the javelins and think they benefit your list by giving you some much-needed Antitank

[Varyn]

Ah, I missed the apothecaries!

 

Yeah a 1 and a 2 would be a decent split still for the mortars. It'd be nice if you could find some points for a siegebreaker and phosphex on the mortars, very thematic for death guard!
