Still have 100 points ish left over.
Not really sure what to put, think maybe some conscripts and bumping the commander to the Lord commissar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9410826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9410826.page GMT
You probably do want commissars of some sort to help with leadership, but I might take regular ones instead of replacing a commander so that you have enough orders for your infantry.

How much are you willing to play with the loadout of the Leman Russes? I personally don't think the battlecannon is as flexible as the punisher, but it does a bit better against T6-7 targets (1.5 vs 1.1 wounds), so I can see the argument.

Overall, Russes seem tough but with low damage output, so if you wanted a bit more punch, you could add some heavy weapons teams, which have good damage output, but are fragile.

All this is just personal preference though. Take what you have for a spin and let us know how it works out!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9411213.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9411213.page GMT
That is true I just want to go with the Battlecannon at the moment to remove vehicles and high T targets.
But really trying to get a solid 1.5k list that I can just add some more infantry and heavy wep squads to for 2k.
I think this does a decent enough job. Maybe add pask with a publisher at 2k. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9411619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9411619.page GMT

Tank commanders/Pask do improve the performance of IG tanks a bit, and they themselves do reasonable damage, so that sounds like it could definitely work.

A Lord-Commissar or Commissar would go down a treat with those five Infantry Squads as well. if you have any points left over (I think they're +35pts?) you could probably squeeze a Tank Commander into one of those Leman Russ'. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9413273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727775/9413273.page GMT
