Hey guys, while i don't think AM will ever be as competitive as eldar and tau in the current meta game, i'm looking for feedback on the following mech guard list, in a search to find a competitive way to play with the AM Codex

HQ
CCS w/ x4 plasma guns, plasma pistol, officer of the fleet in a chimera 210pts

Pask in a punisher w/ lascannon, sponson meltas, camo gear, dozer blade 255pts
Leman Russ Executioner w/ sponson plasma cannons, camo gear 195pts

Troops

Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts
Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts
Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts
Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts
Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts
Veterans w/ x2 melta, heavy flamer in a Chimera 155pts

Heavy Support

x2 Wyverns w/ heavy flamer 130pts
x2 Wyverns w/ heavy flamer 130pts

Total: 1850pts

The list focuses on being mobile in order to quickly grab objs in maelstrom missions as well as being able to (hopefully) deal with whatever the scary lists out there can throw at me

the second squadron of Wyvern is optional, but for their points they are my favorite Heavy Support choice and 4 of them can chew through anything, the damage they can do to TEQ and MEQ armies is astonishing

Finally, i would love to have some psychic presence but as you cannot cast blessings from within a transport, or cast the same blessing from the same unit (so having one 30-40 man blob with a priest and 2-3 primarias wouldn't work) i don't think they'd fit in this list, plus the only lad that really needs prescience is pask but he can perform OK without it

Questions, comments, query's?

P.S this is an adaption to a list that i used in a tournament last year, with changes from IS in chimeras to vets in chimeras, i dropped a vendetta from the previous list, but kept the same amount of chimeras, pask and the wyverns

Oh, i should have mentioned that its not really in my play style to take large mobile blob squads, although i have heard that they can form a strong basis for a competitive AM list
