Err...

I have 5 all land raider detachments (2nd to 6th companies, Armor
Regiment, Azure Warriors (Secondus) Chapter.

Granted a LR company is only 10 'raiders in my TO&E. 30 tank is to
many tanks for a company sized unit. 10 to 17 is the normal range, in
the "Real World". Armies that follow "The Army Formally Know A Soviet
Red Army" doctrine tend to have 10 (1 CO, plus 3 platoons of 3) in a
company, with NATO style armies tending toward 12-17 tanks.
