1000 Pt Starter Crusade Force

[Malice Jr.]

Hello everybody. I'm putting together an army and was hoping to get some critiques. I want to run the Biosanctic Broodsurge and currently have a list:

--Characters--

Abominant - 85 pts

Abominant - 85 pts

Patriarch - 75 pts

Reductus Saboteur - 65 pts

--Battleline--

10 Neophyte Hybrids - 65 pts

--Infantry--

5 Aberrants -135 pts

5 Aberrants - 135 pts

5 Purestrain Genestealers - 75 pts

--Vehicles--

Ridgerunner w/missile launcher - 95 pts

Ridgerunner w/missile launcher - 95 pts

--Dedicated Transport--

Goliath Truck - 85 pts

 

Total: 995 pts

 

Other models I currently have: Magus, Primus. 

 

I was wondering if I should make some changes. It feels odd to only take 1 unit of neophytes, but I am basing this off of suggestions I've seen. I haven't played 10e yet, so I'm unsure of how this list looks.

The list looks fine. I would propably lose the patriarch and one ridgerunner to get more acolytes. 5-man acolytes are great to get points from missions. Also, I would change the missile launcher on the last one to a mortar.

Thank you. It doesn't look like you can split the Neophytes into 5 man squads, 65 pts for 10 and 145 for 20. Would it be that much better to invest in Acolytes? I feel like dropping the Patriarch would reduce the benefits of the army being Biosanctic Broodsurge.

I could save 20 pts by grouping the ridgerunners together in a unit. Would that be a bad idea?
