Sorry for the confusion, but I posted the pic not because of the tanks, but because 98% of my infantry were Kasrkins.

Are those bloody Eldar?? With Kasrkins!?! WHY HAVE YOU DONE SUCH XENOTIC PRACTICES!!

Actually, I was drafting up a Tank/Mech army the other night. If it helps I came up with:

HQ:
Tank Commander in LR Punisher
LR Demolisher

Troops:
10 Vets + Special weaps & Chimera x 2
(Duplicate to taste)

HS:
Wyvern x2
LR Exterminator

FA:
Valkyrie
Valkyrie
Valkyrie

Elite:
Stormtroopers x3

My vague premise being, storm the field with armour, use Stormtroopers and Vets to grab Objectives and quickly eliminate TEQ/AV/MC threats. But as I said, it's a very rough draft

So I looked at the Armoured Battle Group list, I following that I would get this list, for each LR I left out what varient they are, I plan to use the remaining point on the different varients, but do not have it set in stone who will be who. So just assume that a LRBT can be any varient, depending on how I feel, and will have sponson bolters or flamers, unless I state otherwise. Also left out upgrades for the troops for they can change as well.

HQ:
Company Command Tank
Armoured Fist Command Squad

Elites:
Commissar Tank

Troops:
LR
Siege Tank (being one of the russes and not the thunderer, also may change this if I feel like using a tank destroyer)
Amoured Fist Veterans (+5 more troops)
Armoured Fist Veterans (+5 more troops)


Fast Attack:
Vendetta
Vendetta
Banewolf

Heavy Support:
Hydra (unless there is no air support for the enemy, which case this turns into more upgrade for troops and tanks)
Basilisk
Basilisk

This gives me 4 LRs, 2 Basilisks, 2 Vendettas, 1 Banewolf, 3 chimeras and a Hydra(11 tanks! And 2 flying tanks!).

Sadly don't have a commissar(though I could scarfice a LR for one if I feel like doing so), or a Baneblade.

For the record I am using the point value of the Imperial Armour and not the Codex.

Edit:

So you may notice that I added infantry, and now changed two the Leman Russes since the Commissar tank benefit the infantry, and I didn't know about siege tank squadrons. Also, if the enemy does not have very much air support, I wouldn't use the hydra, but instead put itno upgrade (such as a making my PC into a CC, or giving flamers and mortars or autocannons to everyone, or get eradicators, and dozer blade and inclosed troops comparments, meaning I need to magnetize EVERYTHING!!!!) so just bear that in mind.
