I'd rather use a CCS than a tank commander since I've already got the bits for the commander model now.

I'm set on running either:

CCS, 2 plasma guns, Chimera 155
Veteran squad, 2 plasma guns, Chimera 155
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
400 spare

or

CCS, 2 plasma guns, Chimera 155
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
Veteran squad, 2 plasma guns, Taurox 140
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Taurox 130
420 spare

And some more AV to back it up. I was thinking of backing it all up with Exterminators, Hellhound variants, Wyverns or Sentinels. I wouldn't mind adding in a Master of Ordinance, Astropath or Enginseer. Most of what I've posted so far is just a variation of this.

Things I would add:

Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon or 2 squadrons of 2 scout sentinels with multi lasers 140

Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
3 armoured sentinels with autocannons or 1 Devildog 135
5 spare

Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
2 Wyverns or 1 Banewolf 130
10 spare

Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Basilisk or Hellhound 125
15 spare

This is what I would run. Spend the last 10 points on Meltabombs for two Sergeants or a random Heavy Flamer and you are all set. That's a nasty list that will be very effective.

Yeah, I'm drawn to this one the most. The only thing I think I' possibly change would be the plasma guns. Would they be really worth it when I could swap them for grenade launchers?

A CCS with 4 grenade launchers would be pretty versatile with senior officer orders, able to take down AV12 in a pinch.

I'd rather have Plasma Guns. AP2 makes them much better at killing vehicles. Grenade Launchers are cute but rarely effective.

My only real concern with that is the cost of the models and scarcity of bits. Grenade launchers are very easy to come by. If by going down the grenade launcher route, anti tank would be my concern I could change the list as follows?

CCS, 2 grenade launchers, Chimera 135
Veteran squad, 2 grenade launchers, Chimera 135
Veteran squad, 2 grenade launchers, Taurox 120
Veteran squad, 2 grenade launchers, Taurox 120
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
2 armoured sentinels, lascannons 100
2 armoured sentinels, lascannons 100

That'd mean:

8 grenade launchers
2 TL autocannons
2 TL exterminator autocanons
2 multi lasers
2 heavy bolers
4 lascannons

as opposed to:

4 plasma guns
4 melta guns
2 multilasers
4 heavy bolters
2 TL autocannons
2 TL exeterminator autocannons
2 lascannons
2 TL stormshard mortars

So, I've gone for:

1000:
CCS, 2 plasma guns, power fist Chimera 180
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
Veteran squad, 2 plasma guns, Chimera 155
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
Leman Russ Exterminator, HBS 150
Leman Russ Exterminator, HBS 150
Wyvern 65
Spare???

Or...

Tank Commander,Russ Exterminator, lascannon 170
Leman Russ Exterminator, lascannon 140
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Chimera 145
Veteran squad, 2 plasma guns, Chimera 155
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Taurox 130
Veteran squad, 2 melta guns, Taurox 130
2 Wyverns 130
