What do people think of an all Dogs list?

I am trying out Herpetrax

Warlord Executioner (Bow to None trait, Helm of Dogs, Cursed Rune of Fate)
3x Executioners (Pyrothrone, Mirror of Fates, Thousand Poxes)
2x Karnivores (1st with Veil relic and Quicksilver Throne, 2nd with Beguiling Majesty)
3x Brigands (Mark of Dread Knight on 1)
1x Stalker Spear/Claw (Blessing of Dark Master)
1x Stalker Chain/Chain (Aura of Corruption)
1x Dreadblade Moirax Grav (Warp Vision trait)

Executioners have melta, all others have stubbers

12x Dogs, 4 Executioners in the back and the others zooming around

I could also trade in the Moirax, a Brigand, and a Karnivore to get a Desecrator (for the Taskmaster aura) and give him an undivided favor so he can potentially get back up after dying. I'm not sure that's a great idea, though, considering I'm losing counts as 5x3 obsec bodies and gaining 10x1 to sit in the back. In addition to that, the 3 dogs have 42 T7 wounds while Big Boy has only 28 T8 wounds (for Herpetrex). I'd be trading in 2d6 grav shots, 12 chaincannon shots, 2 melta lance shots, and the Karnivore close combat pressure for 2 laser destructor shots and a big fat juicy target.

I would run it the way you have it. I'm just thinking of how the heck I would deal with it with either my Tau army, CSM, Death Guard or my Eldar and... I'd rather see two big targets than a million small ones that are also hard to take down.

Yeah, it's 168 T7 3+/5++ wounds.... the math to take that down seems just really wild

A THOUSAND bolt rifle shots rerolling 1s only gets to 130 wounds on average

Marine Melta in half range needs 100 shots to kill 10 of them.....

I've been trying to figure out what I'd do as well. They definitely die...but then there's just so many of them
