The Punisher variant is genuinely good against light infantry, but I seem to end up relying on bolters on the hull and sponson mounts to damage anything with any armour instead of the big weapon on top. For the points, they just don’t last long enough. The other realisation from that game was that Leman Russ tanks aren’t all that. In the end, the game was a narrow loss because of a tactical mistake on my part, but I’m sure I’d have been in a better position if I hadn’t been desperately trying to remember everything. The Elucidean Starstriders are effectively one super-squad, so didn’t cause that much of a problem, but I’m not familiar enough with either the Guard or the AdMech to run the lists quickly or effectively. Running three factions was just too much. In the last game I played, against Colin’s Genestealer Cults, I ran a mixed Imperial Guard/Adeptus Mechanicus army with my Elucidean Starstriders.

I’ve still not had time for playing or for the hobby, but I’ve been thinking about lists.
