Thanks you for taking a look at my list and offering tips, suggestions and feedback! Hopefully it wasn't too hard to read!

P.S. If anyone has any cool suggestions for models to use for the Priests and the Primaris Psyker, let me know!

I'd take a look at 2 things.

1. the command squad has a lot of shineys without any sort of a focus, I know the list is a TAC but individual parts need to have purpose to be useful.

2. You have a lot of meltaguns on guardsmen, they have short range & are on foot. They will die before getting them into range, try to keep in mind shiny stuff on squishy people is generally a bad move (Unless you have a reliable means of delivery).

If you dropped some of the meltaguns you could try add some shenanigans that'll get them to target safely.

Thanks for the reply!

So dropping Creed, Kell, and some meltaguns for dedicated Chimera's would be better, you think?

Well that's if you indeed want to get up into people's faces, the other option would be going for a defence line to hunker behind.

Also I would moreso remove the sniper rifle from the command squad, if you want snipers use ratlings as they're BS4.

idk if you've read this but it's worth the read : Imperial Guard Tactica
