I play cadians, but I can offer advice as a guy who runs a mass of infantry. Looks pretty solid. If you lose harker you can make the tank a commander and really up his damage. I'm not sure If hes vital to a catachan strategy but commanders are much better than regular tanks. And they also put out a balance datasheet yesterday so it will throw all this off if theyre using it. 60pt guard squads with any upgrade for free will beef those squads up and auto wound on 6's will make all those flashlights shine. Pun damn well intended.
