Things I'm most concerned about are the colossus and Demolisher.

You're spamming chimeras and vendettas. Which is total cheese. But it'll work fine.

Thanks.

I think...

I'd drop all the HK and a squad from the first platoon.
It'll free up enough points to give your troops weapons to use besides flashlights.

I would also agree with getting special weapons on your guardsmen so they can do more damage as they advance. Your Demolisher should be advancing as it has short range so the camo netting wont help it as you only get the bonus if you didnt move in the previous phase.

Personally, I don't like special weapons on guardsmen and I like flashlights, nothing beats first rank fire, second rank fire. I don't like the idea of replacing weapons, just adding more. As for the demolisher, I sort of had an area denial sort of use for it, by the way, I am strongly considering getting rid of it and replacing it with a standard Leman Russ. The unit I am actually least convinced about is the colosuss, I'm sure I could get a third Leman Russ for it.

Unless your target is AV14. I think it's always good to have back ups for your back ups.
And IG is cheap enough to do things in triple.

I'd keep the Demolisher. You lack AP2 punch as it is with it.

Well, I'll build this army and then tweak around with it later. Thanks for your tips though. I'm sure that it wont be difficult to play around with it.

FRFSRF wont really help you in chimeras thats why i mentioned the special weapons. You cannot give orders to units embarked on transports. If you disembark your squads dont have much killing power to keep mech off them as 10 squads with FRFSRF wont be able to hold off against marines.

I'm using my Chimeras more as a way of creating an imposing wall, there will still be some bubblewrap outside the vehicles.
