Depending on who I am fighting I will switch up some of the tanks (vs Xenos I would take some Eradicators) and if I suspect enemy flyers I would switch the Vulture to a Vendetta. This particular iteration would be used to fight Space Wolves or melee heavy forces. All of the BS4 Publishers Cannons should be able to drop any melee units that get close to the main force (TWC should crumple to 3 BS4 Punisher Cannons), and if necessary an Armored Fist Squad (AFS) can speed bump for a turn and the melee threat can be deleted the following turn. Objectives will be left to the AFSs and the Vulture can secure Linebreaker when that time comes. The Enginseer and his servitors will ride with the PCS in the Chimera. The Medusa Cannons will work in tandem with the Vanquishers to drop any heavy AV they fail to take out, or will pieplate the troops who just spilled out of a wrecked transport. The Exterminator is there to ensure a kill by shaving off any hull points left if the Vanquishers fail to explode a transport.

I don't fight any Eldar, for what it's worth.

What do you think of this list? How can I improve it for Rulebook/ITC games? What do you think of my choice of tanks? I have opted not to take any ABG Command Vanquishers with Beast Hunter Shells because I don't have 6 Russes, but also because I don't think they are worth 200 points when no MCs are expected. When I face Tau I would probably have to drop the Emperor's Fist altogether and take said Command Vanquishers.
