Any advice for this list?

Sounds good, though what armies will you most likely be up against, and what strategy do you tend to have with this list? It's about the strategy and the opponent just as much as it is about your list.

Another thing is that I usually dislike autocannons, I often go for lascannons, though if too expensive heavy bolters, but that's because I normally use them to snipe light vehicles.

I go up against practically all armies. Dark Eldar, Space Marines, Tau, Eldar, Tyranids, and Orks are the main ones. The idea behind this list was to issue orders to the blob squads while casting prescience to re-roll all failed to hits. This would allow plenty of lasgun shots. One blob squad would move up while one would stay back and hold the line. Pask would issue the shoot and pop smoke order (forgot the name), giving him a 4+ cover save after shooting with the leman russ's (due to camo netting). With crack shot, my punisher would have rending, making it capable of dealing with elites and TEQ's. Also, with the lascannons and multi-meltas, the punisher would be an anti-vehicle tank as well.

Couple of things I see, but it could just be me.

Pask is on a punisher with anti infantry turret, then pay for anti tank sponsons and hull lascannon. So no matter what you shoot at some of your shots are not ideal.

You have a lot of infantry so keeping them around is good. A Regimental standard will go a long way with reroll moral.

Also it's a shame to waste the special weapon slot on those infantry squads, flamers are 5 points

But with crack shot, the Punisher cannon gets rending, which can knock hullpoints off of vehicles (making it also an anti-vehicle).

Or you could put him in a vanquisher and completly destroy any tank, or buy him h-bolter sponses + hull mount, and a h-stubber and melt any infantry unit. And save points for some other stuff.

Comes to different play styles I guess. For guard I like to give stuff a specific role and let it do that well rather than have jack of all trades stuff. We have cheap enough units that we can have specialized units to do specific jobs and still be covered.

Then again I've also don't run pask so I've never diced out the punisher vs. Tanks. My meta has to much drop pod melt spam to put that many points into a single tank + warlord kill

Pask in a punisher with lascannon and multimeltas will kill a vehicles faster than in a vanquisher with the same hull and sponson weapons. The math proves it.

Also the leman russ that pask is in and the leman russ that is in his mandatory squadron is an hq choice, not heavy. Not sure why you have it listed like that.

Not to proud to be proven wrong, just never really considered I guess. As I said my local meta has scared me away from the idea of using pask
