Hey guys! So I've been toying around with lists and I decided I wanted to go with "Panzer Grenadier" type army. Basically the idea is to have a bunch of heavy tanks (AV 14) backed up by mechanized infantry and support elements.
So without further ado here is the list. Feedback is appreciated. I'm going for a fluff meets competitive list here with neither dominating.

Currently I have the Griffins in the list for "self propelled artillery". If I find they are struggling I'll be swapping them out for either another LR variant or a Medusa. Other than that I felt it was a fairly good fluff meets competition list. The mechanized veterans I feel fits very well with the "highly trained infantry" that used to be deployed with the Panzer divisions.

As for the the list size my friends and I are going to be running 1500 points for awhile and see how it feels compared to 2000. It's also an attempt at getting all of our armies painted before we "reward" ourselves with 2000 point games. Anywho, lemmy know what you think of the list, I'm open to suggestions!
