Looks impressive and formidable. Lots of units means you'll go second more often than not, and thus a smart opponent will try to knock out or substantially degrade certain key units turn one, especially Pask, and either the artillery or the Russes. With as much heavy units you have, and going second somewhat more often than not, I would suggest Valhallan Doctrine and put all your armored vehicles in it, and get a couple tech priests and primaris psykers to protect/repair them.

When is your tournament? Is it going to be using the new Chapter Approved points, or does it have a cut off date and so won't? A lot of things dropped in points, which would let you take more stuff.

Vox casters are a bit of a waste. You have spent 25 points on a bit of order distance. They can work but are usually a waste unless you have very specific things in mind. You could spend the points on giving them some guns instead.

I would downgrade Pask to a simple tank commander, then swap him with the Catachan company commander. As it is, that company commander has no one to order. That would make the tank commander obsec and have nifty catachan doctrine, if you fancied changing the turret.

I would suggest dropping the vox casters. Those points could be spent better.

In regards to vox units, if you have the points “spare” I’d potentially always include 1 in a list. Not for increased order range, but, simply for the stratagem. It’s a nice little “surprise” moment for your opponent that can be used in conjunction with a unit that is being moved up the table quickly.
