Thought i'd try my hand at an armoured company list. But have never actually played one. So any tips from anyone that's used one!

HQ:

Command vanquisher tank with Lascannon
With Beast hunter Shells + Improved Comms + anti grenade mesh: 220

Take a coaxial stubber, its absolutely invaluable. Anti-grenade mesh is honestly not that important, and with 72'' range and demolisher's in your list at the frontline anyway being charged should not be your biggest concern. Instead, Artificer Hull will save this tank, so I would always take it. Especially since he's your Warlord.

Elites:

Commisar Vanquisher with Lascannon: 180

Take Beast Hunter shells and a co-axial heavy stubber here at least I'd say; if you're not going to introduce a second CCT Vanq. then I'd turn this tank into a second CCT as the LD10 buff in this list is pretty pointless

Troops:

1 x Punisher with 3 Heavy Bolters: 200

1 x punisher with 3 Heavy Bolters:200

1x Executioner with Heavy bolter and 2 plasma cannons: 230

I would not take plasma cannon sponsons on an executioner, purely on the principle that the gets hot! ones you make with them will kill this tank prematurely, and at 230 that's not good. I'd leave it bare, maybe with a Lascannon/MM sponsons at most.

6 veterans with Chimera with 2 Plasma guns, 1 Autocannon: 171

6 Veterans with Chimera with 2 Plasma guns, 1 auto cannon:171

ABG Vets kinda suck really; having cheapo armoured fist squads would probably be a better idea and would save you 41 points per squad in the same configuration minus the 2nd plasma.

2 x Demolishers with Lascannons: 350

Lascannon is kinda pointless as you'll be snap firing it, and the Demolisher Cannon is a straight upgrade. If anything, I'd take MM sponsons for AT versatility.

Heavy Support:

1 x Basilisk

Basilisk is a bit naff, especially since you're not really lacking in anti-infantry; personally I'd consider a Manticore with the S9 AP2 7'' blast missiles for 20~ more points or alternatively giving said Manticore Sky Eagle missiles for obliterating flyers.

Only worry is Flyers, but the guys i play with don't really play with them. C&C appreciated.
