My Ard Boyz list version 6.3

well, been working for a while on fine-tuning my IG for Ard Boyz, and i think this is the list i intend to run, will be working on finishing the Psyker Battle Squad once i buy a box of Empire Flagellants, hopefully this coming Friday. Anyway, this is my list

Company Command Squad - 3 Grenade Launchers, Meltagun, Astropath, Officer of the Fleet, Chimera with turret Heavy Bolter, Hull Heavy Bolter
--The squad will sit in their Chimera and hide until the majority of my reserves come in, if i fail to take first turn, i'll reserve them as well

Inquisitor - 2x Mystics, Psychic Hood, Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon, Targeter
--pretty standard inqusitor, there to hurt enemy psykers and to threaten deep strikers from inside his Valkyrie

Psyker Battle Squad - 9 Psykers, Overseer, Chimera with Turret Heavy Bolter, Hull Heavy Bolter
--Also fairly standard, this unit will sit in the heart of the Chimera Wall and take S9 pot shots at people, as well as using Weaken Resolve where needed

Veteran Squad - 3 Meltaguns, Shotguns, Chimera with Turret Multilaser, Hull Heavy Bolter

Veteran Squad - 3 Meltaguns, Shotguns, Chimera with Turret Multilaser, Hull Heavy Bolter

Veteran Squad - 3 Flamers, Shotguns, Chimera with Turret Multilaser, Hull Heavy Bolter

Veteran Squad - 3 Flamers, Shotguns, Chimera with Turret Multilaser, Hull Heavy Bolter
--These four squads will divide up into the Vendetta Squadrons, so that each Vendetta Squadron will have a melta team and flamer team, while the Chimeras will either form the Chimera Wall or act as mop up units as needed

Vendetta Squadron - 2 Vendettas with Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Vendetta Squadron - 2 Vendettas with Heavy Bolter Sponsons
--The Vendettas will serve a dual purpose, both acting as my fast-moving anti-tank, and insreasing the objective taking radius of my Troops

Valkyrie Squadron - 2 Valkyries with Multiple Rocket Pods, Heavy Bolter Sponsons
--The Valkyries will serve as my anti-infantry/mop up squadron, as well as increase my Inquisitors Mystic range

Hydra Battery - 2 Hydras
--The Hydra battery will target first enemy skimmers/bikers, then go after AV12 and under vehicles or infantry, whichever is the more dangerous at that point

Leman Russ Executioner
--This is one of my hammer units, which will either hang near the Inquisitor's Valkyrie to slap deep strikers in the face, or roll up with the Chimera Wall to take pot shots over the Chimeras roofs

Ordnance Battery - 2 Medusas with Bastion Breacher shells
--This is the other hammer unit, primarily for taking down AV14, and Terminators/T5 models, or anything else that's heavily armored and a significant threat.

Any comments/constructive crititcism/suggestions welcome
