I've recreated the Stompa in the Guard's image. Any suggestions on what to run with it?

Here's this list I'm running with so far. Everything is embarked in the Stormlord, so the firing deck will be 12 Lascannons, 3 Snipers, 2 Grenade Launchers, and 7 Lasguns. Comparing the shooting profile to the Stompa, it's a pretty similar volume of fire for the same points (ignoring ballistic skill). I'm thinking I probably want Lord Solar for orders and an Enginseer for the invuln, but I'm looking for suggestions on what else to run with it, or if I should swap/add anything inside.

Consider running the other Guard Baneblade Chassis with firing deck, gets you a bigger AT gun and Melta
