Don't have my Codex to hand but pretty sure that's an illegal load out as you have to take at least one support system. Tbh though even if it wasn't it is still a waste as at it stands at the minute you can only fire one weapon at a time. What you want to do is remove the burst cannon and add a multi tracker, that is the only way you can fire more than one weapon and it still only allows you to fire two anyway. I'd also think about adding a hard wired drone controller and taking some drones as ablative armour for him. Burst cannons on XV8s are a waste of points.

The weapons load is legal.
You just have to fill all the hard points (3). Nothing says that the can't all be weapons.
However being infantry you can only fire one weapon unless you have a multi tracker.
Commanders can have a hard wired multi tracker and take three weapons but they will still only fire two in each shooting phase.

It could be useful if I wanted to mount a specialist weapon alongside the normal Plasma/Missile or plasma melta combo. Especially now flamers have a defensive use.
Wouldn't waste the slot on a Burst cannon, though. Airbust projector will do at least as much damage, if not more on light troops.

Unless it's death by meteorite.

Plasma rifle, missile pod and multi tracker. Pretty much that's the standard load out for all Crisis suits. Got a decent range (24" for the plasma and 36 for the missile pod) so you can stand off and shoot. The last thing you want to happen is to get to close to them and end up in charge range!

To many points in one model. And doesn't Iridium armour do something to his movement? Like I said I don't have my Codex to hand but with weapon options and war gear you are putting far to much into one model. Personally I would drop the armour and shield generator and take two shield drones, basically gives you two free hits with 4+ invulnerable, just make sure you keep them in front of him
