I would drop the land raiders and go with an executioner w/ plasma sponsons (perfect candidate for prescience) and then whatever Leman Russ you like and the two chimeras.

I also think that you vets cannot embark on a transport from another detachment; might want to check validity of that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6775155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6775155.page GMT Re:Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Inquisition 1850 Competitive (Revised)
I've heard good things about three kinds of Russes:
-Executioner w/ Sponson Plasma-Cannon
-Exterminator w/ Sponson Multi-Melta
-Punisher w/ Sponson Heavy Bolter OR Sponson Multi-Melta

Does the community have any opinions about selecting a Russ?

Its been my go to tank since russes got the heavy rule.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779100.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779100.page GMT Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Inquisition 1850 Competitive (Revised)
I am not a fan of the exterminators right now, definitely think you need some first turn AT; maybe a vanquisher w/ lascannon instead of one? Prescience it to try and knock out enemy AA or interceptors so your reserves have clearer skies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779177.page GMT Re:Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Inquisition 1850 Competitive (Revised)

Execution w/ Sponsors PC are incredible. I recommend at least 1 in most armies. Seriously, the ability to just blow away anyone and his dogs elite infantry is absolutely brutal. They have single handedly won me games in the past.

I'll echo this, Vanqs are really great.

What are your Vultures using Gunny?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/592489/6779378.page GMT Astra Militarum / Militarum Tempestus / Inquisition 1850 Competitive (Revised) AT. Do you think Executioners with Sponson PC are enough to seal the deal? Or do we need Vanquisher w/ LC?

@ Sparkadia -- Oh gosh, I totally forgot to say that the vultures are taking the Twin-Linked Punisher Cannons. It's become so second-nature in my list-writing that I forgot to add it. Editing post now.

I updated the list in the OP to reflect your guys' feedback. Dropped the Exterminator/MM in exchange for Vanquisher/LC, and dropped the Vendetta in exchange for Executioner/PC. Five points over, but I'll find something to drop later if this is the final version of the list.

Thank you guys all for the excellent feedback and discussion. I really appreciate it.
