Now with a couple of games under my belt, I am beginning to really like this list, there are changes I would like to make, but on the whole its looking pretty positive.
Some quick and cosmetic changes will be: Move the Relic from the Librarian to the Lieutenant. Will give the Lieutenant the one with +3" on his aura ranges.
In the long term I want Chief Librarian Tigurius in this list, so the Librarian can't have the relic in that case.
The jury is still out on the Apothecary and the Primaris Ancient... the Ancient has granted me 2 additional shots with Hellblasters so far, and the Apothecary (accross the two games) has probably account for his points in total over both.
Still early days with additional thoughts to be had.
Longer term I would like to look at dropping the Suppressors to add in some Aggressors maybe, or a second 5 man Inceptor squad. We shall see how the next few games progress.
The List below (as it stands now pre Relic changes)

++ Total: [111 PL, 11CP, 1,994pts] ++
This has a chunk of firepower, and should be able to stay very mobile for claiming objectives and reacting to opponent moves.
It played relatively well in its first game against Deathwatch last week, and this time is getting its second run out (with no changes) to see how it performs again.
Once I have had a couple of games with it I will look to what I think needs changing - although I already know I'd really love to have Chief Librarian Tigurius in here, and he is easy enough to do by dropping a couple of Intercessors for the points.
The Apothecary & Ancient didn't live up to their points in the last game either, but we shall see how they perform in round 2!
