Heavy Weapons Squad w/3 Missile Launchers
Heavy Weapons Squad w/3 Missile Launchers

This list is a gross distortion of the MMM. It starts with 19 scoring units and tons of firepower.
Good luck at outshooting this army. The downside is that is is MADLY static, so will lose "recon" missions if they happen to show up. Getting to objectives is an issue if they are far away, but I should not have a problem removing enemy units from objectives. I will, however, autolose to deep strike armies. There is also a slight problem of building and painting all of that Infantry.

List 6 - Mech Guard

Command Squad w/3 Plasma Guns
Chimera w/Heavy Flamer
10 Veterans w/3 Meltaguns
Chimera w/Heavy Flamer
Platoon Command w/3 Flamers

Special Weapons Squad w/3 Meltaguns
20 Consccripts
Valkyrie w/Multiple Rocket Pods
Vendetta

Manticore

Standard Mech guard. Conscripts bubblewrap against fast bastards (Thunderwolves) and/or outflankers (Wolf Scouts, Snikrot, etc...). Everything else shoots. I have mixes of mobile and static firepower. This is a well-balanced list, there are no obvious advantages or disadvantages except for the logistics of getting the stuff to Vegas.

I think the trade for conscripts instead of a PBS is a good idea in your Mech list. With all of the Psy defense, I doubt that unit would be useful.
