Suggestion: Take lots of tanks with little to no upgrades. Tanks are a lot of points and if you lose one its a big loss so don't make it more of one.

what kind of tank company, the free one once offered on the GW site, or the overpriced FW book?

A Vanquisher is a varient of the Russ that has a long barrel, and is designed for AT work
Since we don't know what the new codex will bring yet, I suggest just buying a squadron of 3 Leman Russes. That should Keep you busy for a bit. You can also pick up a Basilisk or two. I run them as tank destroyers (because they have a str 9 gun)
As for how to equip them, I run the squadron command tank with no sponsons and a hull heavy bolter to help offset the cost of the Improved Comms upgrade I take. The other two have bolter sponsons and hull lascannons. I also give them all smoke and Extra armour. It's worked great for me so far

The one through GW is ten LR.
pretty generic. I know where one is still avalable. Think the cost is $275

My rough army list:
HQ: Leman russ or demolisher
Elite: Leman russ and maybe some stormtrooper and 5 ogryn
Troops: Chimera or some more leman russ
Heavy support: Leman russ and basilisk
I am not very sure wt to do now since I am a newbie... :]

problems,
the cheapest tank company to make is around 1500 points
you get a hq tank
then you need to take 2 tank aces
this allows you to take 2 squads of tanks as troops
thats 9 tanks and that is about 1500 points
as hq tanks and tank aces cost a fair bit

PS::: Can I use ogryn's in a Tank Company No, I don't believe you can. Now, are you using the PDF from the GW website?The only reason I ask is because your organization doesn't follow the list. There's a link for downloading it at the bottom of this blog post fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2008/10/playing-armoured-company.htmlI recommend downloading both the second and third file on the list. Read through that and try and draw up a list with some theoretical doctrines, then post it and we'll help you tweak it Hope that Helps! ;D |

The FW one is indeed expensive but it's still handy
I personally run 2 vanquishers (squadron HQ's), 1 exterminator (Company HQ), 4 regular tanks, 3 LR demolishers (two with plasma cannon sponsons).
I plan on getting 3 bassies and 3 Laser Tank destroyers for the support element next.

I have to say that only one laser tank destroyer is allowed.
i made a Armoured Company army list that is unofficial but still uses all the entries from most of the relevant codexes. If anyone wants me to post it just tell me and i will.

a vanquisher is a leman russ with the battle cannon, but the vanquisher gun has a 96" range I think, its something close to that

yes, 96" and the choice to use anti-tank shells (no ordnance blast, rolls 2d6 v.s vehicles)
And yes, sadly, only 1 laser destroyer tank is allowed in the AC army
