"Hey, I've become increasingly likely to check out your blog for advice over that of internet forums, and I was wondering what you thought of this list that I put together. Normally I run Draigowing, so this is really different and I'm curious to see if it would work. I can get Razorbacks wholesale, so I could put this list together for a moderately cheap cost if you think it would work.
HQ 1: Coteaz
HQ 2: N/A
Elite 1: 5 Purifiers with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
Elite 2: 5 Purifiers with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
Elite 3: 5 Purifiers with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
Troop 1: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Troop 2: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Troop 3: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Troop 4: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Troop 5: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Troop 6: 3 Warriors Acolytes
- Razorback with TL Lascannon and Searchlight
Fast Attack 1: Storm Raven with Psybolt Ammunition*
Fast Attack 2: N/A
Fast Attack 3: N/A
Heavy Support 1: 5 Purgators with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
Heavy Support 2: 5 Purgators with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
Heavy Support 3: 5 Purgators with 2 Psycannons
- Rhino with Searchlight
If I've done the numbers right, that's twelve AV11 tanks at 2,000 points, plus the storm raven, and half of those tanks are scoring. The Purifiers and Purgators roll up in rhinos to unleash psycannons from the hatch while the lasbackolytes scoot around to grab objectives and pop tanks.

A couple things. I think the list concept is fine though many people will be all "WHY NO PSYFLES!?" and they will certainly have a point. The issue here is that you're going to have a lot of guys all vying for that 24" range to be effective in. Not too bad but if you find yourself having issues with positioning, Psyfles in your Heavy Support would help a lot obviously. Other than that - make sure you include the free Incinerators on the Purg squads. The list needs all the anti-infantry help it can get. Also, I would change the Razorbacks to LasPlas - two weapon systems, more firepower (again helps with anti-infantry) and more AP2 is very nice. The RBack sets are pretty easy to convert to LasPlas if you have a friend with a bunch of plasma guns/pistols (and who doesn't these days?).
Other than that the only thing we need to look at is the Stormraven - what's it doing? Sure it brings in some mobility and an MM but it's only a single vehicle anyone with a lot of infantry is going to want it dead ASAP. I'd try and squeeze the points together to make this two Interceptor squads (or one which combat squads) or use those points elsewhere. Making all the Acolyte squads 6x strong with stormbolters gives you a bunch of anti-infantry in a pinch or you can grab a GKT/Paladin squad for extra firepower, etc. I just think one Raven isn't really going to cut it so those points are better spent elsewhere.
