FAST ATTACK
x3 Vendettas - 390pts

HEAVY SUPPORT
x2 Leman Russ Executioners - 380pts

Notes: Chimera'd meltavets stay back for objectives or prep for forward advance for kill points. Un-Chimera'd Veterans ride in the Vendettas and grav-chute into the enemy. Executioners draw as much attention as possible. CCS stays back and tries not to die.

Seems very solid. Can't really think of anything wrong with it. You're good against armor, hordes and air. That many Vendettas will always be hard to deal with, especially since they're so damn good to begin with.

Let's just say that if this list were to lose, I'd be incredibly interested to know what the list was that beat it.

Hordes are my biggest concern. The Executioners will do good things, and I can use First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire on at least two vets, plus the Chimeras have hull heavy flamers. I've been taking Manticores with my aircav, but with more on the ground I wanted the Russes to draw fire.
