So, I'd remove the regular guards and take more veterans, hitting on a 3 plus as opposed to a 4 plus, and taking forward sentry on all of your squads gives them a +1 cover save, but replace your lascannons with auto cannons, same power vs. tanks, but a lot more versatile. you should still be around the same point cost. so the changes aren't much different, but add a lot more survival ability and versatility to your army.

I would run with a demolisher or something, but I honestly come up against long fangs, grey hunters, death company and all the 3 armor saves. So a 72" insta kill large blast is something I kinda needed filling in my list, if there's anything else that does it better and more efficiently then Ill happily use that. Or do you think a demolisher is still better?

Well, myself I'd take a Demolisher over a Vanquisher even if its got Pask because of the dual role capability - a S10 AP2 ordnance hit is going to hurt a tank hard, and can also flatten an entire squad. Plus, it saves you a ton of points.

If you ever see Monstrous Creatures the Executioner is quite good at handling them, and is more reliable overall - you're more likely to hit at least something, and its not too far fetched that you do as much damage as a Battlecannon or Demolisher cannon perfect hit. The amount of times I've lost games because my large pie plate dispensers had a riot first turn and completely fluffed it at the turning point missing everything I've lost count of.

That said, I wouldn't take plasma cannon sponsons on it. Hell, I wouldn't take them full stop on any tank just because I know how that with the bouts of crap luck I get sometime It'd be fatal and lose me a game with those gets hot rolls stripping the HP's.

Strip down those Lascannons and replace them with Autocannons. Try to avoid mixing roles - Lasguns can't hurt Vehicles and a Lascannon can only kill a single dude from a squad, either is wasting the others potential.

To compensate for lost AT, replace a Hellhound with another Vendetta and put one of the Vets in it. Vendettas are amaze-balls.

Also, if you want Super-Serious-Kill-Everything-Anti-Tank Take a 'Dusa with Bastion Breacher shells. Watch it just gak all over everything with an AV.

Also Vox-Casters, if you can squeeze them, for the blob. I fail Orders all day, and re-rolling can be a lifesaver.

I personally like HWTs separate from the Blob so they can do their thing on whatever needs their particular flavour of death.

That's about all I got.
