1 Medusa
pintle mounded heavy stubber
bastion beecher shells
1 griffon
pintle mounted heavy stubber
squdron has camo netting

245pts

total of 1690pts if ive got my maths right

the idea behind the army is that
part a) vets 1-3 with a chimera and company company hold a front line to defend, the ordnance battery works behind this front-line supporting the ground troops with artillery and anti tank.
part b) the stormtroopers work with the valk behind the enemys front, taking objectives and getting rid of any thing nasty,
part c) finally vet 4 with the other chimera works with the leman russ and armoured sentential's to advance forward and take ground.

i hope to expand in the future by adding 2 penal squads to add to part c) and another stormtrooper squad and valk for part b) and another griffon to add to the ordnance battery, im also thinking of adding another company command with creed, and then give both company commands advisor's.
also for the finaly heavy i cant make my mind up if i should get another one or two more leman russes to add to the exsiting russ to work as a squdron, then get a flak battery of hydras............ or just get another russ to work on its own, maybe throw pask in the mix as well

All the ones by Polonius are pretty good. Might be able to help you with saving a couple points here and there.
