Hi guys, this is my first guard list, its meant to be an all round list just for fun games. Please give me some c&c.

HQ
CCS 4xmelta in chimera

Troop
Vet squad 3xsnipers (forward sentries)
Vet squad 3xmelta in chimera
Vet squad 3xplasma in chimera

HS
LRBT

That works out at 735pts any help would be greatly appreciated

You won't be encountering tons of armor in a 750pt game to warrant 7 meltas, so I would do things a little different...

HQ

CCS
-2 plasmas
-2 meltas
-1 plasma pistol
Chimera w/ hull flamer
165pts


TROOP

Vet Squad
-2 meltas
-1 plasma
-shotguns
Chimera w/ hull flamer
160pts

Vet Squad
-3 flamers
-shotguns
Chimera w/ hull flamer
150pts


ELITE

Marbo
65pts


FAST

Scout Sentinel
-multilaser
35pts


HEAVY

LRBT
-heavy bolter sponsons
-las cannon
185pts

mixing special weapons in the ccs isnt a good idea they need to have one purpose. I would drop the snipers and forward sentries even without the extra attack on the charge whatever charged the squad can probably get by well enough and a modified cover isnt going to save you all the time.

Mixing melta w/ plasma in your ccs isn't a bad thing at all at low point games. You have all ap1 and 2 weapons. Can take out tanks and marines easily. Having a 4 melta ccs in 750pts is so beyond overkill it's not even funny. You need to think about more than just killing tanks. Plasma will easily take out rhinos etc. which is what you'll mostly see at this point lvl.

I do agree once you hit 1500pts you need to keep them to 1 purpose.

okay fair point

Your original list was just fine, it just needs to have its last few points spent so that the list looks like this:

HQ
CCS 3xmelta in chimera

Troop
Vet squad 3xmelta in chimera
Vet squad 3xmelta in chimera
Vet squad 3xmelta in chimera

HS
LRBT

750 points.

Give every vehicle a heavy flamer, and you're pretty good vs. hordes, and the sheer combination of melta spam + heavy flamer spam + LRBT should deal with marines, and the melta spam will work well against TEqs and vehicles of all stripes.
