Made with what I own - I don't have the Punisher or Eradicator or any of that. But yea, so... six Leman Russ tanks. The two Squadrons will be able to shoot one main gun at another target thanks to PotMS from an Enginseer. The Primaris will throw Divination on the squadrons to let them TL their guns to take the heat off the Plasmas. Both the Primaris and Enginseer ride with the Vets that go behind the wall of AV14. Obviously, 20-ish squishy dudes will not be good for scoring, so this list needs to wipe stuff out fast or lose. So yea, not competitive, but entirely amusing to me!

My issue is that if someone ices your veterans you will be without scoring units and you will need to settle for killpoints and lb/fb/stw to pull off a win.

Consider taking mobs of dudes to throw into the meat grinder instead of so few troops.

Yea, but then I got to actually put an infantry model on the table at the start of the game. Seems less awesome.

How is this Russ Spam? What 6 Russes you could fit that in 1500 comfortably. Why Chimeras for the Vets? If the Psykers go in there what is the point as they can't cast prescience out of them.

Also why waste Bs4 on blast weapons? With the configs you're also wasting the split fire. Give the commander a Vanquisher then you maximise the Bs4 (and tank hunter on Pask) and can then fire the second Russ at the infantry that pile out of the tank the commander pops as his shooting is resolved first

The rules explicitly state that you can't do this, unfortunately.
