Infantry need a vox to get the the reroll, maybe make the vanquisher a tank commander or even pask he wont get preferred enemy with the lord commissar but his vanq becomes twin link and re rolls armour pen.

I guess I need to understand a bit better how you plan on playing these guys to judge. Are you going to blob up the squads or have them all out on foot?

The guardsmen are not going to be in blobs. The vanquisher, vendettas and heavy weapon squad of lascannons are for vehicle killing. The executioner, battle tank, and autocannons are for infantry killing. The guardsmen are for controlling the ground.

Boom! Leman Russ Commander

The ordering unit and receiving unit must both have vox casters to get the reroll.
Also if you blob any squads up they MUST have a commissar or priest or you will be getting swept in close combat or failing ld test and running away.

If you can find the points Yarrick is a really good purchase for blobs, his warlord trait is great and helps keep them around for a long time.

HWS are likely the easiest to drop lascannons/autocannons in the game.
