For efficency Sake i'd get rid of the Earthshaker Batterie and replace it with regular basilisks.

Other then that, if you want style i'd imagine a Salamander command vehicle or Salamander scout tanks would be fitting.
Surprisingly decent little things.

Salamanders are hard to come by, unfortunate since FW discontinued them

Well, take a basilik, make a Earthshaker carriage with the gun and place an autocannon on top of the chimera chassis.

That's what i have done / would do.
