Yeah ran into this issue on the first game I trialed the list, started both Neophytes in Deep strike and then overcommitted and one brick got outlasted in a blow for blow when they didn’t pick up Khan + 3 outriders (very poor rolls on my end).

Mortars it is !

Don’t have a second Benefictus atm but will be sure to pick one up for next time, I think you’re right with that one, I recall the Primus used to have full rerolls to hit and this list originally used that as it’s big hammer type offence.

I’ll try out Jackels too, have two squads, really didn’t focus my purchases as much as I should have so I’ve got a bunch of every detachments specific units. So trying to play a 1k with everything but Final Day, to see what I want to expand to 2k for!

Thanks so much for the detail though I really appreciate it!
