What do you think? I know I went a little HQ heavy, but the tournies I play in dont use the force organisation chart... Is everything correct? Should I change anything? I know I need more Rhinos, but besides that; anything?

Great army but three things:
Xavier is now 200pts because he has a Salamander's Mantle in his wargear.
And do you really need two chaplians? I know it would be super-ultimate-killy, but do you really?
Take more people in the assualt squad since you can only have one of them.

Remeber that you can give artificer armour to all characters in a Salamander's army (apothicaries and veteran sergants), and master crafted weapons cost less. Use that to you advantage. Just imagine a Veteran assualt squad with artificer armor all around AND jetpacks! It would be super expensive, but hey....

Thanks you for replying, C'Tan Man; I was getting worried...

Actually, Xavier doesn't have to take the Mantle, it's not included in his wargear, so he is only 165 pts. I have 2 Chaplains because I had bought a Xavier and then bought the Sallies boxed army which came with another Xavier, so they are both based off of the Xavier model, but I converted on to a normal Chaplain.

Ya I know I can, but it would be very expensive, so i only gave it to the 'Special People'.

Sorry, but they changed the rules for Xavier. 200pts.
Here the errata from GW.com.

I was actually thinking sallies, but I want DEATHWING!!!

[McDiz]

Aww...crap. Oh well, I guess I will just use the Librarians for looks.

Bike squads are also cheaper. The Salamander's Librarian phsycic power is the best. Give him a master crafted force weapons, plasma pistol and termie honours, and smash bang crunch! 140pts of  librarian goodness!
Happy smashing!
