500 points skirmish group

[syphon]

Hey all, here's my first attempt at an army list. I wrote it when I was supposed to be listening to Linguistics. (Phonetics and phonemics, ftl)

HQ:
Junior officer, Honorifica Imperialis, Power Weapon.
3 veterans
1 über vox caster
Chimera

Troop 1
Infantry platoon of 2 squads, heavy bolter, vox.

Troop 2
Armoured fist, Chimera, Lascannon, Vox

Heavy
Battle Tank, hull mounted lascannon, extra armour.

All of this boils down to a total of 533 points.
Suggestions?

Lose the Vox network and you'll be able to reduce your points to 498 and stay within the 500 point limit.

Just keep your officer within 12" of the platoon and they will still get the LD benefit.

Vox network would only be 25 points. From a fluff point, I suppose you'd be right. This patrol/skirmish group is small and would stay close to eachother. I like it. :3 Anything else? Maybe more special weapons?

i'd say replace M-vox with normal Vox, and remove the voxes of you infantry platoons, it's seem most likeley your Armoured Fist will be doing "snatch and grab" stuff, so they would probably go out of range of your Officers's Leadership range

That's not a bad idea. You could also drop the Chimera from the command squad (If they are staying by the platoon anyhow). This would free up some points for Sentinels.

yeah, in a 500 point game, i don't think your command sqaud will be going anywhere, so the only use the chimera'll have is lending small support fire, which is already done by the AF chimera, or mobile cover, also porvided by AF Chimera, so two chimera's, with only one squad, will get a tad clutered

Alright, I see all of your points. True enough. So ditch the command APC and most voxes? Alright. I'll take it into consideration. Expect a rewritten list somewhere this weekend.
