Hey there. I posted a list a few days ago which didn't get much feedback, however the feedback I got was all pretty positive.
I made some slight amendments to the list & played a game last night against an Eldar Mech Army. It was a close & bloody game that came down to Kill points. I believe I lost by one or two in the end.
Here is the list anyway for anyone who wants to view it.

HQ
Lord Commissar

Troops
Veterans - Chimera - Melta's X3 - Heavy Bolter
Veterans - Chimera - Melta's X3 - Heavy Bolter
Veterans - Chimera - Grenade Launcher's X3 - Heavy Bolter

Fast
Hellhound

Heavy
Demolisher X2 - Standard (Squadron)
Leman Russ X2 - X1 Standard - X1 Exterminator - Lascannon - Knight commander Pask (Squadron)
Basilisk X1 - Standard

I have only used a Lord Commissar as my HQ as I haven't got round to buying another Chimera yet & he is the cheapest HQ apart from the Psyker which I'm not too keen on.
He did not do much during the game.
When I get a Chimera I will work out getting a Mobilized Company Command in his replacement with Plasma or Melta Guns.

This list is exactly 1500 points
All comments welcome but please try & make criticism's constructive.
Thanks.

I think that Basilisk looks kinda sad by itself, and it doesn't look like its providing the list with anything the Demolishers can't. I'd drop it in favour of another Hellhound.

Valid point dude. That is not the first time I have heard that. It would also fix the problem of Pask being in a Squadron, which obviously makes him slightly more vulnerable.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I would definitely swap out the Lord Commissar with the mechanized CCS you talked about, because as it stands it looks like you are really missing out on the benefit that those orders can give. I love that you try to keep your whole list totally mechanized though, I think chimeras are awesome models.

Actually I think the Basilisk for a Collosus would be an even better trade. Hellhounds are ok against most Collossus can hurt any army though.

Roger that bud.... Might have to sell an Organ to pay for more models.... LOL! Thanks for your input.

Collosus, Hmmm. I will look into it. Thanks bud.

You can sell organs? WHY DIDNT ANYBODY TELL ME THIS SOONER! NOW I CAN BUY MORE LEMAN RUSS!

just kidding.

I was considering adding 'just kidding' to my comment, but then i figured that anyone who ACTUALLY thought i was gonna sell my Organs for plastic models should probably get out more.
That's some good old fashion humor.

Cheers dude.

Yeah, actually you could probably drop that Hellhound and the Bassy for a Mech CCS and see if you can fit a Colossus or two in there. It'll fulfill the role of the Hellhound and the Bassy at the same time.

Managed to actually scrape a draw against SM tonight. Not great you might think.... I am well impressed though. I think that it is obviously not such a problem with the list as the way I'm playing it. Adding pressure to your opponent seems to work well instead of sitting back waiting to be killed.
