im looking for suggestions/critiques. i need to find a way to fill 70ish points atm and im interested in hearing what people have to say about the make-up of the army. general plan is that the librarian and techie each get a foot mobile squad to pal around with and they follow the dread-wall while the Lib keeps up shrouding. its psychic def from imp aegis and a 3+ cover from behind the dreads/stealth. the rhino mounted puri's roll around to threaten the enemy backfield or make an objective grab late-game. crowe gives up a kill point.

I generally like the list. A lot of hurt can be poured out. But your 2 HQs are tough to work in on the main battle plan. Crowe, we all know is a loner no matter what. But sacrificing a Purifier squad so the Libby doesn't get lonely I think will cause problems. I think Purifiers need to get in fast, setup their 24" kill zone, and dare anyone to get close. Without Mech, they may never make it and they are far more effective than a single libby.

One idea in my head
Get more nades in the purifier squads to make them really effective.
Drop the libby, get rhinos for all, and add a Xenos inquisitor. Cheaper than the techmarine and more wounds, and LD10, so the nades should hang around longer. Both allow hammerhand so the purifiers can concentrate on force lighting up opponents. This then becomes a pure purifier force. Might be cool. Don't give purifiers more than 2 psycannons. They can't shoot anyway out of the hatch. Unless you want a "camper" squad, that rhinos up to the middle, and gets out. But still give them a rhino.

I've never looked at the xenos INQ, but I am wondering if they ironically make a better alternative to a libby.

i like the idea of possibly benching the lib, but do you think that a stock GM with nades would work as well as the xeno inq? i just dont really want a non-GK in the army if i can help it. he'd also come with Grand Strategy, so id be able to have one of the purifier squads pretty much dead middle of the table to fire support on turn one if i went scout for grand strategy...

I would drop the Techmarine, and either keep the Librarian and buy more bodies or drop the Librarian and get a GM with grenades. The GM and Librarian are virtually auto-include, almost always take one or the other.

However, since they're in Terminator armor they won't fit in your transports, which is why the Xenos Inquisitor was mentioned. I would still take a Librarian over an Inquisitor, though. Librarians are too good, and Inquisitors don't have the Grand Strategy like GMs.
