11th edition ruined my plans for a thematic list. What do you think about my 1000pts and where do i go from here?

Review my List

Admittedly it’s my fault for not waiting to see what was coming with 11th edition but my impulse made me want to immediately start a guard army. This would be my first army (i started with space marines but never finished) and so i need help to understand how units work together and what to go for.

The theme in this army is very important to me, i want do something heavily inspired by soviet armies of ww2. So i started from a classic soviet rifle platoon: 1xCommand squad, 1xCommissar (NKVD), 3x Battleline squads, 1xRecon squand and 1xHeavy weapons squad (Mortars). Then i attached a tank squadron: 1xRogal dorn (IS-1/IS-2) and two vanquishers (T-34).

Now i know this is far from optimal but the theme is the key. Now the question is, where do i go from here, and can i make it viable?

Also don’t know the various detachments strength and weaknesses in 11th, i was thinking about abhuman and siege/hammer, with take and hold.
