I prefer having each tank being specialized either in anti tank or anti horde set ups , then having a middle of the road one. So punisher, executioner, and one other.

Leman Russ battle tank x2 in squadron w/ heavy flamers 1 w/ knight commander pask- 350
Leman Russ executioner x2 w/ MM sponsons- 440
Leman Russ Exterminator x2 w/plasma cannons and one Leman Russ punisher w/ Heavy flamer and heavy Bolter sponsons – 580
2 Vendetta Gunships w/ heavy bolter sponsons - 280

1. You should probably post this in the lists section.

2. That list is illegal, as you have to buy a whole platoon to get the infantry squads.

3. That list is terrible. WAY too many points put into tanks.

well, I would drop the guardsman squad and add something to the tanks, and it IS a mech list.... why should it not be lots a tanks? well let me word if differently, its an armored division.

Dear god no. Since squadroning forces you to shoot everything at the same target this just ensures that no matter what you have 150-250 points sitting around doing nothing. If you take squadrons they should be identical tanks.

I only do the three and don't squadron them, I might do a squadron each though.

The battle tanks would sit back and shoot, exterminators and punisher would be closest to the enemy.

Well for starters you could post it in the army lists section.

Heres the issues: Bare CCS is giving you nothing for this list except that it will probably die easily and give up slay the warlord. Take a lordcommissar and attach him to a vet squad or something. I would not take grenadiers for a drop squad 4+ wont do much for you as theres still a large amount of ap4 weapons, especially large blast. I would only use grenadies for plasma vets to help them with gets hot.

Pask in a Battle tank? are you just thinking fluff or whats your reasoning? a lrbt shouldnt really have upgrades as the ordnance weapon makes all other weapons snap fire. So your putting pask in a tank thats average scatter is 7, with pask thats now reduced to 3 so he might hit a monstrous creature or a vehicle still. to get his bonus with crack shot you cant move so now you have s9 ordnance against vehicles which isnt bad but it has no ap bonus so its not going to kill anything faster. Also against monstrous creatures "if" you hit and you get reroll to wound if you didnt move the mostrous creature may have an invuln which negates your ONE shot you fired with a 200pt tank.If your going to use pask theres only a few tanks you put him in which are the punisher, exterminator, and vanquisher, with the vanquisher being my favorite.

Why are there MM sponsons on executioners? they are great for hunting light armor, meq and teq units. I would swap the plasma cannons from the exterminators and give them to the executioners and give the MM's to the exterminators.
I would even give the exterminators lascannons as well.
Punisher is better with heavy bolters all around in my opinion.

Also any deep striking army with mass melta like the new vulkan drop armies or the iron hands iron clad drop list will pretty much table this in 1 turn. Flying monstrous creature lists would also hurt this army a lot.

2 punishers is pretty fun. You should *always* give them Heavy Bolter sponsons and hull weapon, 2 of them will spit out 58 shots every shooting phase, killing 7.5 MEQ, or 16.1 GEQ in 5+ cover.

And at 380 points you can afford another Russ. I'd probably take a Punisher Pask because they're amazing, but failing that I'd take a Demolisher for the reasons stated elsewhere.
