I've tried running 3 Cadian Lascannon teams a while ago for damage output and unfortunately they just don't cut it. Between heavy terrain boards, dense cover and their very swingy performance they're just not reliable enough to get the job done as your main AT.

 

The amount of bodies should do well in some match ups, I wrote up a similar list as a thought experiment with 12 squads of 21/22 dudes each. I'm just not convinced it'll body block enough and it made me worried about fitting everything in my deployment zone.

 

Also, I don't think the LC can take Bastonn's sword, as it's Cadian relic and he doesn't have the regiment keyword.

 

Might be worth chucking out the priests and the MoO and going with some Platoon Commanders instead, just to have some more spread on your orders. Even with an extra attack, your Whiteshields aren't going to be doing significant damage, either in shooting or CC. Between the bad hit rolls and the utter weakness of S3 AP0 1D their only job will be to move on objectives and sit on them as long as possible.

30 conscripts within 12” of a target, FRFSRF.

 

120 shots

40 hits if BS5+, 47 if rerolling ones. 6-7 wounds on a t6+ target with no AP

 

60 hits if BS4+ from overlapping fire, 70 if rerolling ones. 10-12 wounds on a t6 target with no AP.

 

So you could chip paint slowly off hard targets, maybe even kill light or heavy infantry with weight of dice. But if this is anything more than a wild meme I would recommend trading armored sentinels for scout sentinels for more board control, both variants die when targeted anyway. And no need for priests, it’s usually a waste of time to roll for conscripts in melee, won’t really matter rolling 30 or 60 dice.

 

And maybe take dagger of tusankh instead of either relic of lost cadia or deathmask, that way you can outflank one conscript for a CP and have an officer and another conscript unit able to come on from any edge with the dagger. I think 6 units of conscripts is plenty to start in your own deployment zone.
