So I want to build a list which is based around an explorator fleet prowling the edge of the halo stars in the wake of the rangdan xenocide to scours worlds for salvageable kit and purge any remaining life forms.  

 

The Ordinator will be attached to the photon thallax and act as a lynch pin for the deep striking demo teams.

The dominus will be with the vorax and outflank and hopefully being able to help the vulturax not get kited too much.

Then sitting back would be the redactor and tech priest with conversion beamers and I’d deploy the tarantulas in range to benefit from battlesmith and fulfill anti-skimmer/flyers

With myrmidons targeting heavy infantry/light vehicles supported by a cyber eye.

 

The artillery would push forward to get in the enemy’s face along with the krios and macrocarid to provide target saturation and hopefully survive long enough to score in enemy deployment with the matrix of ruin.

 

I’m aware this isn’t typically ordo reductor with the vorax and vultarax but I’m using it to represent an explorator group. I love the models and I’ve just purchased a vultarax so want to include it in the list and I think it works as an exploratory tool ranging ahead.

 

maybe my archagos could do with some points trimming, is a paragon blade essential? just thinking i don't really have much in the way of close combat punch...

 

Its my first list at 3000 points (and im 5 over!) and will be my first foray into mechanicum, so any help of what to change or what looks good would be awesome. Ideally I’d like more thallax so any ideas on how to do that without a massive overhaul would be cool too.
