Just trying out a few new things with this new edition. Essentially trying to come up with a 2500 point list that I will begin purchasing and building/painting towards. Please let me know any comments/concerns/ideas that you would have to attempt to improve this list. Thank you very much for your time.

Company commander
Company commander
Pask in punisher w/ everything bolter and one lascannon

X5 squads of x10 infantry w/ plasma gun, vox caster, and heavy bolter team
X30 conscripts

Hellhound w/ flamed
Hellhound w/ flamer
Hellhound w/ flamer

Commissar
Commissar
Master of ordinance
X4 plasma gun scions
X4 plasma gun scions
X4 plasma gun scions

Basilisk w/ bolters
Basilisk w/ bolters
Basilisk w/ bolters

X2 leman Russ w/ battle cannon and all bolters
X2 leman Russ w/ battle cannon and all bolters

X2 heavy weapon teams w/ x3 lascannons

Idea is that the conscripts will act as a shield while advancing for shots/charges. I know they will eventually die, however hopefully with help from the commissar being strategically placed it won't be quickly. Infantry behind them. Hell hounds go in spots as needed for up close threat. Pask and ordinance sit back with basilisks and Russ's for killing things. Sprinkle in commissar and commanders where needed for orders and mitigated morale damage

I like your list but have you considered the fact that turn 1 deep strikers will ruin your poor basilisk's days (there ARE lots of infatnry in your list but you generally want these alive right with all that plasma right?) and since we are guard, we almost ALWAYS go second (you get the idea...). Also with so many tanks around I would seriously consider a techpriest to keep the leman russes on tip top shape as well as the basilisks. I would also suggest replacing the MoO for gunnery sergeant Harker(or with the far pricier comissar yarrick) and rename the basilisks specifically to be regiment catachan because for 12 points more you get to use an extra (and better) heavy bolter and you get to use the re-roll 1s ability inside those 36" which the MoO doesn't offer. Now as I have spotted you will probably need to remove/relocate some points from your brigade my advice would be to remove the 2 squishy lascannon hwt and add 1 lascannon to the leman russ(assuming you haven't glued the hb already) and promote it to tank commander in order to get the orders in this order (pask/self>tank commander>leman russ) to make the maximum amount of points efficiency from the models and special characters you have selected. These are my 2 cents I hope you have found them useful.
