Not sure if that's too much plasma, but my friend has a tendency to deep-strike his Carnifexes, and the thought of them running around my tank lines is a bad one. Figured I might as well come prepared.

This is only my second stab at a mech list, so go ahead; criticism welcomed!

Hm... I'm rethinking those three plasma pistols. What do you think?

EDIT: Medi-Pack replaces a Plasma in the CCS, Lascannon comes out of Vet-Chimera squad. I'm not convinced that the camo netting is such a bad idea, but I took it off for now. This leaves 25 pts.
I don't really want to drop the Banewolf, but if I do, it lets me stick Al-Rahem in another Vendetta, and leaves me 80 pts spare... so I could stick both the infantry squads in Valks? probably not, but I find the idea amusing...

I don't know: Banewolf? or another Vendetta?

medi-kit would be better on the CCS instead full of plasmas. You will keep those suffering from gets hot! rolls alive longer than loosing more with mass plasma.

You don't want 2 heavy flamers on al rhem's chimera. You need to move to get into range to use them both. Just stick with multi laser for range and heavy flamer for when in close.

If you take plasma guns and a lascannon on your vets you cannot move and shoot out the chimera. Your ranges are also mixed up as the plasmas really work at 12" and the lascannons at 48"

Considering you've also got troops in a chimera wouldn't mass veterans be better?

Also try taking two vendettas or two bane wolves. You now have dual threat and unit redundnacy. Bane wolves are nasty but you need to get close to dish out the pain.

You don't really need camo netting on the tank as you will need to move to get it into range, and then if you leave it still assault units will auto hit.

Made some changes, see the list for details...
