Now the most I am worried about is my anti-large. Only 4 Lascannons and a Basilisk might not be enough.

The obvious choice would be to swap out the Hellhounds for (armoured) sentinels and get more Lascannons. But I am not really a big fan of Sentinels....

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Why would you be limited to taking Sentinels with Lascannons? You have 3-5 of heavy supports if you want more HWS or artillery, or you could change the Bane Wolves to Devil Dogs, or give your naked infantry squads some heavier weaponry.

You could even take a look at the other imperial factions and see if there is anything you'd like from those. The list itself looks okay, but I'd be worried about armour just as you are. I guess it depends on what you usually fight, since I personally don't face much heavy armour.

It really feels like you have wasted your points on Pask. You need to put some sponsons on him and the other LR. He is hitting on 2+ rerolling 1's so you you need to maximize his potential by putting HB sponsons and a Heavy Stubber or something on him. I also like giving him and the tank commanders lascannons since they can be very reliable on hitting other tanks.

I also do not like those Hellhounds with chem cannons. I prefer the inferno cannon since the chem cannons range is just stupid short it will get one shot then locked in combat and die. It just seems to be a huge waste of points of very little return. If you were to drop one of those hellhounds and then replace it with a sentinel you would have enough points to make all these upgrades. You could also make those two basic infantry squads conscripts to save points since they seem to be there just to die for the emperor.
