De-Commissar-ing a Psyker, and name change for Draconians

Okay, the plasma guns and Tech-priest Enginseer are back on stock in the Games Workshop web store, and I ordered them along with 5 Cadians. Like I said, I'm planning to kitbash the Draconians with plasma guns. Furthermore, the Primaris Psykers are...temporarily out of stock. No matter. I went and ordered a Commissar instead. And I plan to kitbash a Guardsman into a Primaris Psyker, gonna fiddle with the lasgun bits and convert them into a force stave somehow.

Why Commissar? I swapped the Primaris Psyker and Astropath out for a Lord Commissar because I realized I was going to need one for the morale of my men. Furthermore, I also needed a decent melee combatant to fight alongside my Guardsmen, and a Lord Commissar fitted the role more than a Psyker. I think one psyker is enough unless I'm planning on running them forward to spam Smite, but otherwise...yeah.

I was more worried about morale since I would be running three infantry squads, and I plan to Consolidate Squads with them. We shall see. In any case, my list looks like this now:

Spearhead Detachment (Cadian) Tank Commander - Leman Russ main battle tank with plasma cannons and lascannon 2 Leman Russ main battle tanks with 3 heavy bolters each Leman Russ main battle tank with 3 heavy flamers
Leman Russ Executioner with lascannon and plasma cannons Heavy weapon squad with 3 lascannons. Supreme Command Detachment (Cadian) Company Commander with plasma pistol Primaris Psyker
Lord Commissar Shadowsword with 3 twin heavy bolters and 2 lascannons Battalion Detachment (Vostroyan) 2 Company Commanders with boltguns 2 Command Squads with 4 plasma guns each 3 infantry squads with 1 plasma gun and 1 boltgun (Sergeant) each

Yup. Lord Commissar. I'll have to kitbash the Draconian (Cadian) Company Commander as well by swapping the lasgun for a plasma pistol. We'll see how it goes. And I have no idea how to turn lasguns into a force stave, but again, we shall see how it goes. I still have a bunch of Skitarii bits, so perhaps I can use those to come up with some zany design.

It seems my Shadowsword has arrived yesterday, so I can pick it up on Saturday. I have also ordered the plasma gunners, Lord Commissar and other stuff like I said, so the only things left to buy are 2 Company Command Squads and a Leman Russ Demolisher, which I will pick up from my local gaming store. Maybe next month I'll get a second Leman Russ Demolisher kit, and replace the heavy flamers Leman Russ main battle tank with a second Leman Russ Executioner. I love plasma.

Oh, and I've been experimenting with the fluff, and I think Draconian Armored Defenders sound better than Draconian Armored Dragons. So my Imperial Guard regiments of Draconis III will be Draconian Armored Defenders instead. I wonder what you guys think? Should I stick to Dragons, or does Defenders sound more practical?

There's also the option of just turning everything into Catachan because Charlie will force me into it with his elite ideas. I can imagine him shouting at me, "Take Catachan! The mathhammer proves that I am right, and that you must only take Catachan for your tanks!"

Spearhead Detachment (Catachan) Tank Commander - Leman Russ main battle tank with plasma cannons and lascannon 3 Leman Russ main battle tank with 3 heavy flamers
Leman Russ Executioner with lascannon and plasma cannons Supreme Command Detachment (Catachan) Company Commander with plasma pistol
Primaris Psyker
Lord Commissar
Stormsword with twin heavy bolters, 2 twin heavy flamers and 2 lascannons Battalion Detachment (Catachan) 2 Company Commanders with boltguns and power swords 2 Command Squads with heavy flamer and 3 flamers each 3 infantry squads with 1 flamer, and 1 boltgun and power sword (Sergeant) each

So yeah. But no doubt Charlie will still rip this list apart and provide some new mathhammer on how I should minimize-maximize my list to get the mathetically strongest army possible. Except that I don't have the models. Oh well. Oh, no doubt he'll tell me to drop my Leman Russ Executioners and tell me I should only field Leman Russ Punishers with heavy flamers. He'll tell me how plasma on Leman Russ tanks suck, and I should never field them. And he'll be telling me if I want so many heavy flamers and flamers, I'm better off taking Hellhounds instead. Oh, and also that Stormsword is overcosted and not worth it, so I should drop it.

Well, we'll wait for him to order me on what I should do.
