Am I doing this right?

I am trying to work my way though making my first faction. So asking if I am doing it right. I went with Insekts, sub species of Insecta. I am allowed zero to three Classification and Order so went with Coleoptera (6pts) and Insecta Mobility (3pts) from Insecta Classification, and then Acidic Bite (6pts) from 1st Tier Coleoptera - Insecta Order. I am allowed zero to two Genetic Morphology and went with Inseekt Carapace (3pts) from 1st Tier Exoskeleton - Evolutionary Branch, and Insekt Fast Movement (5pts) from Motion - Evolutionary Branch. For Environmental Adaptation I am allowed zero to two and went with Fierce Insekts (8pts) and Deadly Attacker (16pts) a 1st and 2nd Tier Specialized Natural Weapons (Melee) - Evolutionary Branch. Last I am allowed zero to one from the Infestations, Domination, and Knowledge, I went with Martial Learning (8pts) from Insektoid Specialized Armory - Evolutionary Branch. This give me a base cost of 55 points per model for the basic bug if I am doing my math correct. So did I do this correct, and next I move on to making the actual squads?

So here is my second try, I am thinking that the units are to expensive, but that is a different question. Are they made correctly, is the question for today.

It looks like just about everything is correct on how your are building the faction.

The only thing is that your Faction Trait- Advanced Forms gives you "Increase Maximum class Traits 1" not a Bonus Trait. This makes it so your classes all gain a Maximum Class Traits +1.

This helps you build advanced forms of classes through progression when you are adding traits. Its actually quite a big bonus as you get games in and advance your faction, since most level 1 Classes in the Domains are limited to a maximum class traits of 2. So having 3 possible traits can make a big difference.

It will also help you also quickly reduce your point costs a little by dropping a class trait. Of course you could later develop your classes with those traits.

Your Faction is incredibly fast, and tough. You are correct though, that point costs per model on some lower classes might be your weakness. It could be challenging to fight a horde style army although in general your models are very resilent (tough). Those are some frightening level 3 classes. Fun. Id say the faction looks very much ready (after dropping a class trait).

One last thing is it looks like you forgot to increase the martial on the characteristics for your level 2 Skin Crawlers. They have an increase to Martial that I don't think was recorded on the sheet.
