Everything starts on the table.

The Captain, Assault Squads and Inceptors work together.  Assault Squads bully lighter chaff, the inferno pistols work as a threat to anything stronger, the Inceptors act against elite units, and the Captain also acts to help prevent overheating and against more elite or harder targets.  

The Sanguinary Priest does have The Armor Indomitus.  The Sanguinary Priest, Chaplain, and Sanguinary Guard are crazy act as a unit.  The Sanguinary Guard will hit on 2s and exploding 6s on the charge, I have done this with double exploding 6s Space Wolf Successor Bladeguard destroying Knights in one turn of Combat, tripling that number and hitting at Str 8 vs Str 5 will more than make up for any differences in those units.

Eliminators are there to sit on a backfield objective(s) and to provide a threat to Characters, admittedly probably more psychological.  

Infiltrators are just a pain to remove, Incursors play midboard annoyance, and Intercessors move into the midboard to take over hopefully cleared objectives. 
 

How does this list look?

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Thoughts behind 3x5 SG? (Appreciate the answer could well be that it's what you own) Just wondering because similar lists increase the SG numbers.

List has lots of backup to achieve objectives - but which ones are you targeting? 

[Karhedron]

I always run my SG as a single blob so that they can receive Character support. I realise 3x5 gives you flexibility but I worry that the temptation to split them up will dilute their effectiveness.

[CCE1981]

3x 5 is intended to prevent losses from morale, and to give flexibility.  From my experience with Bladeguard re-rolling everything but 6s and double exploding 6s.  A 5-man squad is enough to crush just about anything.

[Tokugawa]

In new version, CPs are much much more precious. Things like "master crafted power fist" doesn't deserve consuming a CP.

[CCE1981]

I would disagree on that, a d3, AP-3, str8 weapon on the charge hitting on 2s is pretty good.
