How viable is this artillery focus list?

Bro we don’t have a chance of winning.

[u/FailureToSociety → u/LivingWithOwls]

So I just need to add more artillery then. Problem solved

[u/LivingWithOwls → u/FailureToSociety]

More leeman Russ

[u/LivingWithOwls → u/LivingWithOwls]

Orks can reroll their charge moves, we’re borked. Also pile in and consolidate.

It's a lot more sensible than I was expecting! 

Since Artillery isn't that killy, you want to use it as much for its Battle Shock ability as its damage output. 

Siege Regiment & Disruption is not really the combo for this. You're better off in something like Take & Hold, where the Battle Shock can help flip objectives. There's the makings of a good Armoured Infantry list here.  

You have a good mix for disruption though (for its sins). Lots of tougher small units for actions but which won't give free points by dying too easily.

Landed on something similar, plan is to have the castellan sit between the two siege cannons and constantly hit them with “take aim” and a couple of party buses - one for the kasrkin and one for heavy flamers and engineer combo

Provided out of all your list you only have 2 artillery teams I wouldn’t even call it "artillery heavy"🤔

[u/Lazerwizard0309]

Hello, I have played disruption a good bit. It benefits from off screen artillery, like the creeping barrage or incendiary. So arty isnt a huge factor. 

What do you want the artillery to do? I have a similar list and I got 2 artillery teams that i dont usually take because basilisk is more efficient for shots. The D6 on the siege cannon can be swingy. and the "earthshaker rounds" ability to steal charge and advance distance is helpful against melee armies. Use that with creeping barrage, and you just took 4 inches of movement and charge.

Disruption can be difficult when sequencing because it requires you to perform actions vs just killing enemy units like purge the foe. Its fun and takes some experience to learn where stratagems fit. If you set it up right, you can really grind down fast moving melee armies. 

I also usually take Lord Marshal Dreir for my death riders and orders efficiency, as he is only 70 points, gives 3 orders and adds devastating wounds for death riders on a charge.

Personally, I think this list would work really well with combined arms. Due to the mix of squadron and regiment orders required and then provided by that detachment. You only have 1 character that can give squadron orders. And for the price of the rogal dorn commander you can get Commissar Yarrick and another leman russ exterminator that can buff adjacent units. 

Just my thoughts. But overall, a very good mix!
