Demolishers are good but as Demolisher Cannons are ordinance you can only snap fire your other weapons... and you can't snap fire blast weapons such as Plasma Cannons.

I would drop every upgrade from your Demolishers and just run them with basic hull-mounted Heavy Bolters. Much cheaper, and with the points saved you can buy a second Punisher to join Pask to make your list legal. Pask should have Heavy Bolter sponsons and a hull-mounted Heavy Bolter, along with the Punisher that joins him.

What are your plans for the Librarius Conclave?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8712769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8712769.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra Militarum http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8713002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8713002.page GMT Re:[2000] - Astra Militarum

That's a pretty good use. In that case I'd take 1 unit of 2 Demolishers as a target for Divination buffs, plus 1-2 solo Leman Russ (whatever variant).

Have you considered the Emperor's Fist Armored Company formation instead? You almost meet the requirements (Tank Commander squadron, 3 Leman Russ squadrons, and 1-3 Enginseers) and the bonuses are very good.

EDIT: Have you thought about using a Hellhammer? I'd be less points than two Demolishers and a Librarius Conclave (540 for the Hellhammer vs 685 for 2 Demolishers + Tiggy Conclave) and have far more offensive output. The Hellhammer has a S10/AP1 7" blast that ignores cover and can be twin-linked thanks to the Co-Axial Autocannon. Just an idea!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8713026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693715/8713026.page GMT
