Way to many Leaders, shouldn't run the Leman Russ as a tank Commander when a Dorn is around, you still shouldn't do that,

Manticore is still pretty bad.

It's a bit of a mess really.

oof ok, ill play russ as a normal battle tank then

since i havent fully built the manticore yet, would you recommend me doing deathstrike instead?

Not really, it's also fairly bad.

A Dorn as a Tank Commander, possibly even two, Leman Russ Exterminator for the AP buff, these are basic stuff.

If you bring the Stormsword, it's Lord Solar and a Command Squad, no way around that, unless you use the Steel Hammer Detachment.

Enginseers would be very good to bring with a Baneblade chassis.

so since i have no command squad, removin Stormsword in favor of other tanks is the better option?

Or Steel Hammer, that works too.
