I know the general consensus on Russ's, but these are the models I own

Am I correct that the heavy weapons squads can ride in the BaneBlade giving it 6 more lascannons and 3 mortars?

I'm likely to be playing against Tyranids that use a lot of large creatures.

I run the Stormlord
Have tried many different variants and builds with it and have come to the conclusion its best run when stripped down and a base of fire for your heavy weapons teams.

so pull off the sponsons, HKs and extra Stubber.

You are woefully low in the Infantry department and you really need something to bubble wrap.

Multi lasers on Scout sentinals are meh spend the extra 7 pts and put flamers on them. Matched with the Hellhound you can pretty much figure burning up a couple squads.

Now if this list is based around all the units you have then i guess you can be forne with some small tweaks...however if your planning on fielding this and possible buying more stuff here are a couple suggestions without totally redoing your list

So you need more bodies. i suggest either a squad of 50 conscripts... or for more fun i would run 3-6 infantry squads with a lascannon and a plasma gun.

Go all in on the morters.. put 6 Morter teams in your Stormlord and have fun driving your opponent crazy. 27 points per squad is amazing.

Plus i think your trying to put to many heavy weapons teams in the stormlord. each counts as 2 models so max is 6 Heavy weapons teams.

Put lascannons outside and in Infantry teams.

This is all good feedback and you are right on the Stormlord looking back
