Any feedback and recomendations on what to add to my army?

What kind of theme are you going for? My advice is: You have heaps of infantry why not expand your vehicle section slowly. Give you a bit of variation to use.

Im not really sure what theme im going for if im honest hahaha, I was thinking about getting some storm troopers/ kasrkins for the Valkyrie but it does not give me much heavy hitting units incase im up against super heavies or demons etc

Yea due to the lack of anti tank it may be worth doing a rush style list.

Stick in cover, spread out and get close and nasty (depending on your enemy). Give your men krak grenades so that you have a way of knocking out vehicles in combat where you hit their rear armour with S6.

Maybe get one vet team to ride the valkyrie with demo charges and (cant remember if it comes with melta bombs) and try knock out their important vehicle.

Without long range Anti tank and hard defence vehicles i think you are gonna have to try using tactics that revolve around hitting fast and hard then hiding.

Well for one where is your PCS for all your infantry squads. You can only take infantry squads if you take a PCS. Not just a CCS. They are two different units. The CCS is an HQ choice, if you run a platoon you then need a PCS and infantry squads. Totalling a CCS, PCS, and your infantry squads.

Medics are also useless as you are t3 meaning s6 insta kills you and you get no FnP. Its to small of a unit to really do anything for you and is overcosted.

Why take a 145 point valkyrie when a vendetta is much better for 130 points with 3 twinlinked lascannons?

Right having looked at the gw website and the codex I think my next purchases will be a squad of kasrkens, leman russ vanquisher with twin linked lascannon sponsons and a hull mounted lass cannon for dealing with armour, heavy weapons squad which will probably be mortars or lascannons and an extra chimera

I advise magnetizing the turrets main gun so you can use whatever tickles your fancy.

Use those six men to make a platoon, and make one squad a vet squad so your army is legal.

Mortars can be very useful but so can lascannons. Up to you on that one really.

Once I get the leman russ I'll have a look at tutorials for magnetizing the turret. Would you happen to know a website that sells like model rpg cages that would fit gw vehicles?

I use Battle foam bags, they can fit GW vehicles but you need to get custom foam to have more vehicle slots. Mine fits 2 tanks without dozers.

Leman russes dont get twinlinked lascannon sponsons. The can only take sponsons heavy flamers, heavy bolters, Multi meltas, and plasma cannon sponsons. Also none of them are twinlinked.

My mistake I have not really played a lot and I usually just build my minis to look cool hence why some of then squads are not legal. It will be plasma of heavy bolter sponsons in that case hahahaha

I have recently added a leman russ armed with a vanquisher cannon, hull mounted lascannon and plasma cannons on the sponsons
