2500pt decurion formation

[mannimal]

Hey folks
Ive got an Apoc game coming up and have been looking at the new decurion formations featured in the tau monk'ta book

So we have a command, which unlocks a core(armoured company), which in turn unlocks 3 auxiliary choices (2xplatoons and artillery)



BATTLE GROUP COMMAND
=376=
    CCS 1xPlasma, 1xVox, 1xLC, Kurovs Aquilla, Carapace
    Chimera, dozer, relic plating

   3xPriest
   2xCommisar         

ARMOURED COMPANY EMPERORS FIST  
=845=
   Tank Commander, Vanq + LC
                              Vanq + LC
    1x Exterminator + HB sponsons
    1x Exterminator + HB sponsons
    1x Executioner + Plasma sponsons

    1x Enginseer

ARTILLERY COMPANY EMPERORS WRATH    
=500=
    CCS 1xLC, 1xVox
    Chimera
    Engineer

    1xHydra
    1xHydra
    1xManticore

RED PLATOON EMPERORS SHIELD  
=453=
    PCS
    1xBolter, 4xSniper

    5x Infantry squads
         5xAC, 5xMB, 5xGL
         2xBoltpistol, 3xBolters, 3xVox

    Scout Sentinel with LC
         
GREEN PLATOON
=235=       
    PCS
    4xFlamer

    2x Infantry squads
         2xVox, 1xFlamer, 1xMelta

    SWS
    3xMelta

FORTIFICATION
=100=
    Aegis Defence line with Quad gun



Depending on what I'm up against and the table layout, Ill be running the command, tank commander, plasmacutioner and green platoon slowly forward together supported by the priests. Red Platoon and the artillery stay back behind the aegis D-line with commissars.    


Any input welcome

I have a few questions, first what armies do you usually face in your meta? Lots of armour? Lots of infantry? MeQ, Xenos, GeQ? Also where did you get the priests? There is no section in the Cadian Battle Group for you to take priests.

the hydras gain but loose out being in the artillery company because they are all ready twin linked so the bonus you gain from the company command vox will not be of any use. But the you can give them ignore cover orders to get past flyers jinks saves. The kurovs aquilla is not going to be of much use because all your las re roll on 1s to hit in this detachment, the all ready mentioned hydras are twin linked and the exterminators are twin linked seems a large amount of points the doesn't really affect much drop it and put a wyverns in the artillery company. And you can't take priests other than that sound list.
