Hey Mate and welcome

In general this list is fine, its more or less what you want to play and if its casual or competitive.

All of my thoughts are out of Competitive perspective.

Only 5 Guard is realy a risk, with the new handbook we see also 2x 30 Sentinels again in play as an example that can just kill your Slann turn one.

Skink Chief is also a risk. 305 Point only 10 Wounds, even if you hold him in reserve, If he dont get the charge hes dead anyway

Ghost-mist is no help for you, 10+ Wounds are not included in blocking LOS. If you want go with monsters just go for heal.

I prefer not to play DT without 2x 2 Sallis. Sallies are the reason to go and pick DT. puttig Sallis in someones face is to good. with prist and AOA you can always have your two units of sallis 2+ to hit and thats nice.

Basti is always nice, but remember, if you buff the basti you cant buff the Sallis ^^

Also my last thought, from my experience you dont need Bounty hunters or Expert Conq, in most games you nearly table your enemy or loos, so I would choose 2 drop over this, even because 2 drop is now even better with all those who go for bounty hunters
