Hi guys,

I've played Warhammer back in the days and I've decided to start fresh. I was competitive back in the days, but it was too much stress and rule lawyering for me, so I wanted to start a new list.
I've been out of the game for too long, I have no idea if the list is fine or not. I wanted to have your opinion before buying super expensive models.
I wanted to go with a World war I theme.
Does the list makes sense? Should I clear some Russ for manticore?


Regimental Doctrine
Selections: Death Korps of Krieg



HQ
Tank Commander x3
Lascannon, lascannon sponsor, demo turret


Troops
4 x Death Korps Grenadier (meltagun)


Elites
2x Combat Engineer Squad (all shotgun)
3x Special Weapons Squad (all plasma)

Siege tanks work just fine for DKOK vibes, and demolishers are strong rn... lascannon soonsons aren’t a thing though, I recommend multi meltas due to range synergy with the main cannon

Also concurr re multimeltas, but for a different reason. They can fire even in melee ranges and being hit by a few multimelta shots is something most units feel, even when the demo cannon is deactivated by bad touch / melee cause its "blast". I would go so far as to say its not a bad idea to stick a stormbolter on the tank, too, which can also scrape the occasional last gaurdsman off your hull. Fluffwise, I would think a mix of heavy bolter and flamer might also be "very dkok" as well, giving the tank a WW1 feel to it as it crawls forward to flame out the enemy and hoses them with bullets.
But that's fluff. Gameplay choices?, I am totally with gamerguy here.

I am a super newbie in this edition, and I used battlescribe.
When I select a tank with the DKoK doctrine, it's possible to have lascanon [legend]

What does that legend mean? That it has been banned ?

Edit: I checked online, it says that GW no longer make a model for it, won't be reviewed for balance and not recommended for competitive play and tournament likely not accept them.

(At the same time, I'm not planning to be competitive/tournament)
