I'm really, really thinking about running camo netted LR C's in my Tanith/Pardus 2.5k list I'm building.

Does anybody have some experience running this variant. I'll face 2 Ork (1 Horde, 1 Heavies), 1 Eldar (Balanced) , 1 IG (3 LR and elites/vets), 1 Tau (Broadsides with allied SM Dev/Snipers), and 6 MEQ (whole gambit) in my local meta.

I'm wanting them to handle some anti armor duty and kill of DP Marines.

Thoughts?

My sincere, not at all snarky reply is to use LRBT instead. For what you said you'll facing, the LRBT is a better choice, IMHO.
Since it didn't have Lumbering before, it's not considered heavy like the others are now.
Shorter range weapon, small blast marker AND it's not Ordnance.
I think it'd be better to spend the 20 point difference.
And don't get me wrong. I have 2. I think they're one of the cooler looking
turrets for Russes.

I feel like firing 6 weapons @ full BS with possible rerolls on the maingun (if I don't move) is better than 1 pie plate and snap fires. And yeah, I like the look too.

Now compare that to the LR Executioner, with the same all weapons at full BS, three times the firepower (and AP 2!) from the main gun, and the ability to move and fire without losing everything. Sure, it's more expensive, but the massive improvement in firepower more than makes up for it.

EDIT: Don't mind the "snarky". I want the good the bad and the ugly.

Too true, but I'm trying to stay a little fluffy. Might just go IA Vanquishers instead... but yeah, I'll probably add a Executioner somewhere

Recently most everyone who has used an Executioner seems happy with the choice. It seems like the way to go for now.

It would be interesting to try Plasma sponsons on a Vanquisher, and see how it does in a dual role anti-elite/anti-tank. And Executioner with multi-meltas would seem to be a good choice. I guess it would come down to how much range you need on your AT.

Fluff wise, I seem to remember the Pardus having an Executioner with them. Like it's been a while since I've read honor guard though.
