Ok, so I'm new to Guard.
This is my first go at a list.
I am currently building/ painting the above. apart from the 3 x Leman Russ which have still not arrived ( ordered January)

Any advice or comments greatly appriciated

Hi, a friendly advice, your tank commander must have regular battle cannon in order to use gatekeeper relic, the executioner plasmacannon does not allow that.

Thanks Spreelock, fixed that now

Yo! So I wouldn't bother with perfects orders on the command squad, you got leontis if you need these. Take the cp regen or drop it and save command points.
I wouldn't bother with plasma sponsons on you tank commander, just stick to bolters and save the points. I would change up the multi lasers on your sentinels for plasma though as it's free and just better than the multi laser.
You might want to change up one of the plasma russes for a vanquisher with the elite sharpshooters trait. You got plenty of anti infantry firepower, you lack anti tank.

Thanks , i think these suggestions are an improvement to what I had.

Gonna change the list to incorporate them.

Looking to play this list tomorrow.

Probably going to be against Ultramarines

Expect i'll see:

Roboute Guilliman
Chief Librarian
plus maybe one more buffing character for even more rerolls etc

Infiltrators for forward deploy and deepstrike screening
Aggressor and or incursors
Eradicator squads with their Total Obliteration shoot twice bullshitery,
Redemptor dreadnaughts
Invictor tatical warsuits, forward deploy alpha strike.

Will probably sit in Devastator doctrine all game, taking Codex warfare as a secondary
