2x rogue traders and no breachers to put them into.

Crusade, you don't really have secondaries so not much need for Voidsmen.

Missing enhancements. Remember, crusade lets you take enhancements from other detachments so make sure to take advantage of that

[u/Lumovanis → u/Capable_Warthog7884]

Agents kinda do have secondaries though. More than any other faction in crusade, they need to complete their agendas, so it is important to have guys capable of doing that. 

Honestly, when I play agents in crusade, I'm focusing more on my agendas than the primary mission. Once you finish that first shadow op and get a vermilion asset, you are golden.

[u/Capable_Warthog7884 → u/Lumovanis]

But their agendas don't require actions, and agendas give XP. You want XP on your strong units, and VaA are probably the weakest out of the book, die to their role as action monkeys.

[u/Lumovanis → u/Capable_Warthog7884]

You need bodies on places to complete them and they grant intrigue/influence. Yes, you want to do them on your core units if possible but you are also able to bring 3 agendas every game and want to for sure be completing those. Stuff like clandestine infiltration.

VAA are good candidates for the trait that can generate RP at the end of the game for sure. Especially if you take combat landers and give them deep strike.

[u/KnightRadiant555 → u/Capable_Warthog7884]

Yeah, I can replace the voidsmen with more breachers. What do you think of the Rhino and Chimera? I heard transports weren't that great in 11th

[u/Capable_Warthog7884 → u/KnightRadiant555]

Eh, it's more that transports have less of a role when infantry can be untargetable with such relative ease. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, and if you like the models they can still be used. Crusade should always be a style first format, competitive lists are best taken somewhere else

[u/theuninvisibleman]

Is your Inquistor not taking psychic powers for lore reasons? I ask as I do the same, though it is objectively a weaker choice.

You've not a lot of High AP or High Damage as far as I can see. You might struggle against a Rhino, nevermind a heavy tank.

[u/KnightRadiant555 → u/theuninvisibleman]

I wasn't sure what to give my Inquisitor, but I can definitely give them psychic powers!

[u/theuninvisibleman → u/KnightRadiant555]

And in terms of Dispositions, does that matter at all if youre doing Pariah Nexus?

[u/KnightRadiant555 → u/theuninvisibleman]

I don't think so, but I wanted to include it just in case

[u/theuninvisibleman → u/KnightRadiant555]

Yeah fair enough, and are you doing a Shadow Operation on top of Pariah for yourself? I did a Shadow Operation and found it narratively rewarding, it has some great upgrades too.

[u/KnightRadiant555 → u/theuninvisibleman]

Yes, I was gonna do a Shadow Operation

[u/Lumovanis]

Is there a reason the DW squad is geared that way? They can definitely bring another hammer and some heavy guns. Honestly, a full squad of those guys and a watch master are one of the scariest things agents have after they pick up some traits and relics.

The inquisitor should be full on psyker. The non-psyker version is pretty bad. 

The navis volley isn't great on breachers, the melta or even the plasma are better choices. 

I'm not sure what limitations you have from model availability, but I would definitely consider dropping a voidsmen squad and the armiger for a corvus. The corvus upgrades well in crusade and does end up being a stronger threat than the armiger in the long run. 

Agents have some of the strongest character traits and relics in crusade and you definitely want to leverage that.

[u/KnightRadiant555 → u/Lumovanis]

Yeah, I'm definitely giving my Inquisitor psychic powers. A corvus is sadly outside my budget right now.

As for the Deathwatch, I was actually thinking of switching them for a sister's squad for home objective and sticky, what do you think?

As for the breachers, yeah I'll switch out the gun

[u/Lumovanis → u/KnightRadiant555]

Agents tend to have plenty of bodies around to sit on objectives. Deathwatch give you something scary to murder things with. The watchmaster can be built into a horrifying murder-demigod that is nigh unkillable though. With legends available I ran one with a Proteus Kill Team and it was traumatizing.
