Making A Command Squad Death Star

[TheDeathJester]

Hello B.O.L.S,
My friend quite recently challenged me into designing a powerful fluffy space marine command squad.
He plays Imperial guard/Astra Militarum and his command squad contains officers and navigators, all fluffy units that have some effect on the game so I set out organising a Death star/ Op / Fluffy Command Squad.

It takes up Two HQ Slot and One Heavy Support and cost 1075 points.
It's Essentially a Chapter Master, Chaplain, 2x Tech Marines, 1 Apothecary, Champion, Banner Bearer, 2 Veterans.
Any Possible Improvements I could make?

Total Points: 1075

HQ - Chaplain (1 model) - 125pts
----------------------------
1 Chaplain - 125pts
-Teeth of Terra

HQ - Command Squad (5 models) - 285pts
----------------------------
3 Command Veterans - 215pts
- Two Lightning Claws
- Standard of the Emperor Ascendant
1 Apothecary - 35pts
1 Company Champion - 35pts

HQ - Chapter Master (1 model) - 235pts

Isn't Marneous Calgar available as a Command choice anymore? With his storm bolter gauntlets and nearly invulnerable armour I should imagine he would be a decent option.

The shield eternal is best paired with a thunder hammer. It makes them tough enough to take the enemy attacks and swing back at S8 concussive. The burning blade is best with a pistol to get the most attacks out of it at high initiative.

I've considered using Calgar, However; my force is a Imperial Fists Successor chapter and a lot of my tactic is based from their chapter tactics.

I will consider swapping out the Burning Blade for the Thunder Hammer, I think concussive with be hugely beneficial :)

Thankyou for your Feedback :)

Chapter Master is tougher.
