I think you've got the right idea more than anything else. Really, with your infantry tar pits, you should do pretty well so long as you can keep raining dead down with your tanks.The only real suggestion I might make is...well...probably drop the Leman Russ Exterminator and take Autocannon Heavy Weapons Teams instead, you'd get more shots that you can order around. Then with the left over points pour some Flamers into your Infantry Squads, Orks hate nothing more than Flamers...well that and cover denying artillery. (There fancy kustom force field doesn't work if they're denied cover :-))

I worry only that artillery will explode into a million pieces with the firestorm.

I'm not very familiar with Planetstrike Rules so these suggestions may not apply.

1) You could reserve your artillery and bring it down on the rear of your opponent.

2) You could use Camo netting on your artillery as it will be stationary and give you a cover save.

Just some thoughts. Let me know if I'm going in the right direction.
