Tactics: Coteaz+draigo with paladin squad will be bulletmagnet for enemy attack, coteaz change 2 fo his powers for divination combo.
psyfeldreads + razorbcks as some middlelong/long fire support and purifiers will camp backfield objective, if there will be one.

Any critics and hints how to improve my list are welcome.

3 hammers for the pallies seems too much for me ... i'd rather put 1 or 2 (if you're an unlucky guy ) the others with Halberds... imho.
and maybe one melta in every henchmen unit ... if you get the points could be useful...
Aubec

I change the number of NDH to 2 pcs, thx for the hint... i know that melta in henchmen group will be fine, but how to get points for them ....only put down the carapace armour from acolyties or drop psycannons fropm purifi squad.....purifiers has better BS so psycannons are more effective in this group as meltas in 3BS henchmen warband i think, i must try first if carapace is better then meltas with these squads and then i will finaly change gear for them.

I agree with brother Aubec, I would drop the carapace in favor of the melta... with only 4 guys in the unit, if they are standing outside their vehicle; they are pretty dead anyway so you want to maximize their damage. Popping any vehicle with a melta at least makes their points back.

Also I would consider changing your warding staff to a BHB. Since both Coteaz and Draigo are in this squad you will probably be accepting challenges with one of them and I think the 10 extra attacks with auto activated NFW's for the whole squad is much better than the upgraded inv save for one guy. Draigo is already at 3++ so this isn't nearly as valuable.
Just my opinion though.

i know that Purifiers have good BS... but look at what they really are : A CC UNIT !! particularly against hordes so in my armies their loadout is really basic : halberds and 1 hammer (or 2) that's it. I know that they can have 4 psycannons but i think that their role is not to be a shooty unit... well imho of course !
Aubec

I know that they are CC unit, but they are here for holding objectiv in my deployment zone, they are fearless and 2x psycannon isnt bad for 5men squad.

But many thx for advices and hints, ill take bnner instead of stave and also drop carapace armours for meltaguy.

I also think that your warbands should pack either meltas or plasmas. They are more effective that way. I dunno about the Purifier Squad. Perhaps dropping it for another henchman unit could be better. You can also get another tank in, which also increases your firepower. Always a good thing.

I made some changes in list

i wouldnt play 5 man marine squads without transport. Even for backdoor objective holder they re too squishy.

Also i d split your paladin squad. Its just too many points in one unit. But that depends on your enemy. Gainst horde armys 2*5 man is better imo.
