What detachments are you using? If it's a brigade your CP should be 15, if it's two battalions you need that 4th HQ.

 

I really like this list though, maximise your bubbles for ignoring AP -2 and go to town, it'll be interesting to see if enemies have enough fire power, especially with cover.

As has been said, it's a Brigade, but I'm using 2 CP pre-battle.

 

The list should really be hard to shift for my opponent particularly with 60 bodies. That's the plan anyway!

Ah I see. In that case, crack on.

The army performed well. If anything the army performed too well, so it's hard to take away too many learning points. I basically had the game won by the end of turn 2 and the only reason it took me 3 more turns to table him was LOS and range!

 

Valorous Heart combined with Imagifiers is strong, though that is not a surprise to anyone. Being able to use a 3 on a Miracle dice on an Exorcist against a multi-damage shot is the only reason it survived. 

 

Miracle dice accumulate quite steadily. My list wasn't really built to generate loads, but I was gaining them faster than I was using them. This is something I need to improve on!

 

I like the Retributors and have boxes purchased to make two squads as above, but my opponent didn't have much armour, so they didn't get to shine. Also, they folded in a turn to a charge from 10 Abberants with Power Picks!

 

If anyone has any questions, will try to answer!

Have you had any problems with mobility with this list? Seems like that many footslogging could be problematic?

That would be my thought, a solid list with allot of bodies but with everyone on foot and taking 3 turns to get the last few enemies in range and los I would say this maybe where the list struggles the most.

Problem is even fitting in 2 rhinos would help but finding the points is an issue and the list I think would have to be rebuilt to 2 battalions to free up the points.

 

I'm still not married to the dialogus, how do they feel they performed with the list?
