I am just starting out with my first 40K army, and trying to plan out my first list/lists. So far I have

540 pts

Suboden khan (115 pts)
Outrider squad (80 pts)
Vanguard vets (100 pts)
Jump pack intercessors (90 pts)
Impulsor (80 pts)
assault intercessors (75 pts) I got them in the combat patrol box and they currently ride out in the impulsor but honestly I’m having a hard time justifying them. They just seem inferior to their intercessor or jump intercessor brethren.

I’m already planning on picking up
Land raider redeemer (270 pts)
10 man intercessor squad (160 pts) in the land raider
Lieutenant (55 Pts) leading the intercessors with hunter’s eye (20 pts)
Chaplin with jump pack (75 pts) with spear point paragon (25 pts) leading the jump pack intercessors
Infernus squad (90 Pts) in the impulsor
Invader ATV (60 Pts) to ride alongside Suboden and his outriders.

I’m also throwing around the idea of a stormraven gunship (280 pts) with a brutalis dreadnaught (160 pts.

I’ve thrown around the idea of adding another squad of jump intercessors to give me some more mobility to seize OBJs or a storm speeder.

Are there any standout units that are must haves for a WS list? Or holes in my list that the more experienced khans can see?

I am just getting into 40K table top after being sucked in by lore and video games for a couple years. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. I picked up the white scars combat patrol and plan on running them as my first army. But I have a question about the assault vehicle rule from the impulsor.

Assault vehicle- “Units can disembark from this TRANSPORT after it has advanced. Units count as having made a normal move, and cannot declare a charge”

So that seems pretty straight forward on its own I have my squad of assault Intercessors embarked in the impulsor. I have the impulsor make an advance move to get within striking distance of an enemy and disembark my assault intercessors. But with the spearpoint taskforce detachment I also have storm-swift onslaught

storm-swift onslaught

“Adeptus Astartes units from your army are eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Advanced or Fell Back.”

Would that allow my assault Intercessors to still declare a charge after they disembarked? If I’m reading it right my impulsor could charge(which seems like a terrible idea to put my transport in engagement range) but could I use storm-swift onslaught to push my intercessors forward and create a screen to keep my opponent from charging Into my impulsor?
