Now Im a fan of blobs but, I feel like I could be wasting points with the commie and the pw on the sgts as if I get in to close combat I've failed to take out his transports and Im boned anyway. So I could take another AC HW sqad if I lost them and the mortar on the PCS and droped the ML down to a AC. Or I could get Marbo...thoughts?

At this leve, you don't need the commissar or power weapons. Dropping those frees up 65 pts.

What you do need is firepower. I'd fill up those slots in you CCS- grenade launchers, for instance.

The PCS doesn't need a mortar- those are best off in dedicated heavy squads. Again. more direct fire weapons would be great here. I'd be tempted to move the CCS missile here, and make the CCS mobile with 4 grenade launchers.

Finally, the armoured sentinel is a bit curious. They can make great units to tie up low strength combat units- AV12 in combat with something that can't hurt it is fun. If you're doing that, you want them as cheap as possible, so multi laser or heavy flamer- both of which are great anti DE weapons anyway.
If you want them for shooting, then the open version is just as tough against their mass s3 and poision shooting, as well as being much cheaper. , I'd urge you to go for an open multi-laser one, and you can probably turn that one closed sentinel into two open ones- from memory, you'd need to steal 10 pts from the spare above to do so..
