All of the hunter killer missiles pop tanks from the start, the hellhound and chimeras roll up and tie the enemy up, allowing Tim for the tanks to take out any armour. The sentinels harras light armour and the malcador and leman russ executioner are for hordes.

Second draft:
Thanks for the reply's.
I've had a re-work and spent the HKM points elsewhere on the list and changed the Leman Russ Vanquishers for regular Battle Cannons.
Also now thinking of the two Marauder squads with the Lord in the Chimera, roll up the field with the 3 Hellhounds and go after hordes, lots of flamers etc.
The scout sentinels to push forward from the start and tie up assault to buy the tanks more time to shoot, also taking shots at light armour.
The BC+Lascannon Leman Russes take aim at any enemy armour, the Exterminator at light armour/flyers. The Malcador pushes forward and supports the Hellhounds from behind.
i don't quite get the Flamers on the marauders.
I also think you could better invest the hunter killer missiles.
Vanquishers are sadly worse then regular BC against tanks and infantry, so i would instead use them as regular BC's.
I would keep the ML on the chimeras over the HB (cheaper by 3 pts) .

Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, I would advise against having to much focus on Marauders, one bad roll and the entire unit deserts
Command rerolls?

1/6 x 1/6 is once in 36 times you double fail the morale for marauders, that's nothing.
Also marauders are a 6ppm model so a whole squad running off is just at worst 56 pts. That is nothing.

Literally every leman russ, for half the price, remember the Malcador dosen't double up on shots sadly.
And even if he would, he is still out matched due to the price level allowing in 2 kitted out Leman russes in.
That comes from someone who also loves the model (any malcador really), but remember you are allready playing a faction that is rulewise the bottom of the barrel allready.
