A couple ideas I had were to include Yarrick, another Leman Russ, more infantry to screen, more artillery, or some sentinels.
I want to keep it as a "take all comers" army since I could face anything from Knights to hordes of Orks.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the feedback Luke! While I like to keep to my faction's fluff, I still want them to have teeth and a fair chance of fighting a battle. The Manticore is a very cool model and looks to be decent on the field so it is defiantly a possibility.
Having run Yarrick in a couple smaller games, he pulls his weight nicely, and benefits a variety of units depending on what I'm up against. As a result, he's in.
The issues I had with my Leman Russes before I included my Basilisks were that they sometimes struggled to be maneuverable without sacrificing firepower. The Basilisks don't have to worry about this as they can fire over the curtain wall rather than having to go around. So, like you suggested, more artillery is the way to go.
Before I settle on something however, my opponents regularly use Forge World, so I might have a nosey in Imperial Armour and see if anything catches my eye!
Once again, thanks for the suggestions and continue with your great work!
