It looks like you only paid for one of the two tank ace strategems you took.

If it were me, I always split my LRBT into sort of short, medium, long -- shield tanks have a short role, fire support/blast is medium or long range cause not in melee. Your punisher (short) and your demolisher (medium role, but short ranged turret means its stuck in short range) are short range, while your executioners have longer range but the melee defense / short role. -- so all three types are very likely to be in melee at some point despite the demolisher not being a fan of that. Ergo, I would want the demolisher tanks (and any melee oriented short role tanks) to be able to dig themselves out of melee with their sponsons and hull weapons, meaning, I would dump one basilisk and use the 125 points to give both executioner tanks 3 flamers and punisher tank 3 flamers as well. Now, although you shoot d6 times fewer per round with the big basilisks, you have an astonishing 9d6 hits in the scrum that this battlefield will become (minus the 4.5 you lose by giving up heavy bolters to get flamers, so BASICALLY 8d6 but rerolling the number of shots, brings it up to about 32 extra hits on the enemy!, basically every round, and the frontline tank trio can't be quite so completely neutralized by being just touched. You can then give (cause thaqt was 90 of 125 points) out a massive number of hunterkiller missles to the tanks -- something like 7 of them for first round extra firepower so that oyu don't feel undergunned with only 1 basi.)
Well, that's my advice.

And if you do drop one basilisk, you can tank ace your warlord to take -1 damage per hit, instead, or +1 armor save. A no-invuln tank warlord being very high priority shooting target time, in every game I ever played, I lost it when I put one in that role. So it wouldn't hurt!

Stratagems (tank ace-1 cp : full payload, tank ace -1 cp master mechanic on warlord)

HQ
tank commander warlord / master mechanic/ plasma cannon/hull lascannon
tank commander // plasma cannon/hull lascannon

HS
x2 leman rus demolisher with 1 heavy bolter each, 1 leman russ punisher with 2 heavy flamers in sponsons and 1 heavy flammer in hull mount
x2 LRBT executioners with 2 heavy flamer sponsoons and 1 heavy flamer hull mount
2 LRBT (I assume they are battle cannon and hull heavy bolter)
1 basilisk with full payload

7 hunterkiller missles are distributed -- probably to both tank commanders and any 5 of the other leman russes. Yes, its one basilisk short, but realistically, that isn't as critical now that you can't doubletap with emp's wrath detachment. and your front line trio of tanks are much better equipped to get it stuck in up front, so you won't need to rely on the dubious extra 4 shots a roudn from the second backline basi.

Same strategy as you have above -- only with up to 9d6 flamers in or out of melee, which is going to put pressure on people who try tarpit you, more than 1 punisher (40 s5/-/1 and hits 50 percent of time so that's 20 hits at s5/-/1, and 16 autocannon hits at s7/-1/1 ... causing a pile of marines to make some 24 saves, ish, (and 12 of them at no ap) .. vs with the flamers, you pop that up by about 33 saves over the three lead tanks melee firing. So it doubles the firepower of that element if someone tries a bum rush, even with the turrets all three firing, just by having those heavy flamers in play.
