This is mainly mech but has a small static element to provide cover for the heavy tanks in the back. Open to any suggestions you think might make this better, it's worked decently so far but it can be tweaked further i think.

Keep the Lord within 6" of your HWSs, keep your CCS within 12". Now they are Ld 10 have a re-roll on Moral and pinning tests. If you want to, issue 'Bring it Down!' to them from your CCS. Lord is there to keep your back units from runing away, nothing more. You want all of these units in cover if you can help it.

Can only fire 1 other weapon plus the BC on the Russes if you move, so move them up with your Chimeras. Thus I removed the sponsons.

Do not outflank your Vendettas, use them to sit back and fire their lascannons on high AV targets and on turn 4 or 5 zoom out and contest objectives with your cheap scoring units or take unguarded objectives. Not a suicide unit.

Use your PCS in your back area to react to DSing or out flanking units. They are a scoring unit so you can have them sit on a second objective.

Ram your 6 ground vehicles down your opponent's throat while your heavy weapons and Vendettas provide covering fire.

Good luck, hope this helps.
