Each lance is 13k so total is 40k BV just in case you missed that.

I didn't.
Mine are perhaps less optimised or less harmonious.

Haha first thing that popped into head. Could see multiple little ones vs us. We've done it before in other campaigns.

Butchers of Nuceria

Nothing is really known about this band of pirates, which is the only way to qualify them as they have been for the last years raiding defenceless planets without warning, destroying everything and everyone trying to prevent them to get access to their targets, usually supply depots, which they loot before retreating and disappearing without a trace in space, leaving as only proof of their existence the dead bodies of infantry units and destroyed tanks as well as a card with Nuceria written  between jaws.
No one has been able to locate Nuceria or to tell what it is and since nothing is known from this band, it is likely to remain a mystery until one of them is captured.

Due to the war against the Clans, the Federated Commonwealth has been unable to react to the pleas of help of these worlds located in the former Rim Worlds Republic and some planets left alone have offered a bounty on the heads of the Butchers of Nuceria as they are being called for their efficiency in destroying the militia units opposing them but so far with no appeal.

Almost no information is known about these pirates and their ‘Mechs seem to be a mix of Kuritan and Lyran ones dating back from the 3020s left with the original standard painting from each army with only a black shoulder and a name with a number tagged on it, name that stuck to them.

Los Temerarios
"Disfrutar como un enano"

Formed around a core of family and close friends, Los Temerarios or the Reckless are former members of Von Strang's Guard Division, who were on leave for the wedding of Achaz Sas and Iolanda Coppola during the falling of the planet to the Jade Falcon. Returning from Apollo upon the Merchant Jumpship Yerba Buena the crew and passengers lucked out by missing the departure of the 2nd wave by just a matter of hours otherwise the bandits may have met a different fate. Able to jump out before forces were able to get to the jumpship.  Captain Richard Marin took the ship along a smugglers route he knew hoping to avoid whatever forces they were fleeing from. Ultimately ending up in the Kola system.

Upon reaching the system desperate for food supplies the attached Monarch & Mule dropships were sent down to the abandoned planet to search for supplies. Already picked over by centuries of relic hunters food and water were the only things being actively searched for by the crew. Looking to stretch their legs the compatriots ventured out on their own looking to hunt for some fresh meat, injuring one of the local beasts in a non lethal shot, they tracked the beast to a cave which upon entering turned out to be a man made cavern. Returning to the dropship for some supplies to search the cavern, the group returned with reinforcements. Ultimately breaching the facility which turned out to be a former RWR secret base. Proving to be larger and more difficult than expected to get their riches out the Jumpship left with the promise of returning after securing the remainder of the passengers in Lyran space.

Fast forward a year and the group had been able to secure the small base and return it to working order, the Captain made true with his promise to return and in fact has gone on a few missions for the group back and forth from Lyran space bringing supplies back and forth, selling some of the findings and recruiting other family members and friends. Looking to ultimately set up their own colony the group has turned to banditry for the necessary funds to start. The exact amount of supplies found at the cache has never been shared outside the inner members but it has been enough to secure a small working colony. Former family members that had served in the LAF and AFFC have filed out their roster and its total size seen to date has been a mixed battalion. The lack of aerospace fighters is a telling tale to the cache being ground based. The Lion dropship that transports the bandits is in relatively good shape having outsiders believe it was found on site as well.

I could see the Reckless as the core of the new Battalion thanks to their backstory but they are a tad too advanced.

Might we drop a Rampage and two of the Dragoons for a couple of Phoenix? Add a heavy of your choice to the first lance. Joining the Phoenix in lance 2 could be Clints in a medium grouping. I'd pair the Jackrabbits with some standard bugs like Locusts for a light lance.
