Basically it's a list with 3 Deathstrikes (who have gotten so much better in 7th), 3 Valkyries, a Paskisher leading an Executioner and Eradicator, and 2x 10 melta/heavy flamer vets, one of which is all armed with krak grenades, all aboard the 3 Valks, as well as 3 Bullgryns who guard the Deathstrike battery and hopefully tie up any enemy deepstrikers / outflankers / infiltrators and 6 Ratlings to sit on an objective.

The list is designed to beat enemy static gunline armies / castling armies. It wont fair well against a highly mobile enemy. I got enough anti-tank in the form of the melta toting Vets and the Paskisher, and arguably enough anti-flyer as well (will only struggle against Stormravens). Anti-infantry, both light and heavy, comes in the form of the 3 ten inch apocalyptic blast markers that ignore cover, and then you have pask and friends to mop up stragglers.

I like seeing pask in a vanq flanked by two punishers myself...

I think Pask in a Vanquisher is overkill...hits on a 3+, you re-roll 1s; has 2D6 armor pen, re-rolls armor pens...

I think his buffs are better on a Punisher where S5 + rending + re-roll armor pen means I'm stripping off 3 HPS from a Land Raider in 1 round of shooting, and then I can use the Lascannon and MMs to finish it off.

Maybe I should swap Pask's MMs for PCs.

You can't actually fit Veterans in Vendetta's anymore, can you? (Transp. cap. 6.)

gah, youre right. Changed the list to Valkyries with Lascannons, MRPs and HBs instead, and used the remaining 75 points to invest in 6 Ratlings, krak grenades for the 2nd vet squad and another dozerblade for pask's squad.
