This is my first Amon build and the list should be viable against WM players too, so I have a couple of questions to more experienced players:
1. Should I switch Alten+ mech for another dervish?
2. Is it ok to use more expensive jacks or dervish spam is a must?
3. Is it ok to use VoJ with Amon?

1. Alten doesn't work against the mountain king, due to grievous wounds not working that way anymore. He is a counter to doomy3s feat working with one non garg model so its not terrible to have him, but generally the extra dervish will do better in every other match up.

2. It's absolutely okay to use more expensive jacks, some amon lists have at least 1-2 "real heavies" even if they are just crusaders. Although Dervishes have an incredible synergy with Amon due to their very strong base stats (mat 7 PS15 w/ battle) that goes up to MAT 10 PS18 with a +3 synergy chain. they also have combo strike which is nasty.

so they hit like heavies, they cost only 7pts, and they have a lot of boxes for 7pts. Makes them great at piece trading.

3. Its okay to use anything really. i assume the reason you are bringing the VoJ is to treat it like a super mechanic with a gun. Personally i would go the route of more jacks but there's nothing wrong with outside the box thinking and testing

Thx for the answers!
I intend to use Alten to kill Mauler or Mulg(especially hate this one) during doomie feat turn. I was able to kill lanyssa via admonisher from VoJ during previous game and magic guns can help me vs gremlins or other annoying incorporeals. Also BE is useful for countering things like road to war or alpha hunter.

If you go with a vessel (or 2 xD) I find it best to go with quantity of jacks. Something like 4 dervish and 3 crusaders.
Otherwise you can do whatever you want, mobility and synergy go a really long way.

As for Doomie3, his feat triggers on hit, so a trick I used a few times is to build synergy with combo-striking dervish and boost damage on healthy stuff, then beat the snot out of the mountain with 2 crusaders. Takes some planning, but the first part is also worth it. Dervish start at Pow 19...
