this is for a friendly game, and a concept i think might do ok. it trys to combine static gunline with some mobile counter attack

HQ: company command squad, lazcannon = 70

Troops:
platoon cmnd squad, lazcannon = 50
- 2x hev wep team w/autocannons = 150
- 2x hev wep teams w/lazcannons = 210
- 4x infantry squads w/plasma =260

vetern squad 3 plasma, chimera = 170

Elites:
10 stormtroopers 2 plasma, chimera = 250
10 stormtroopers 2 plasma, chimera = 250

Hev support:
demolisher, lazcannon, plasma cannons =210
lemun russ, lazcannon, hev bolters = 185
lemun russ, lazcannon, hev bolters = 185

=2000

hev wep teams stay in back field and shoot the fck outa enemy armor. cmnd squads help with that or dispense orders. infantry squads are my meat shield. run in, maybe contest or grab an objective, or otherwise force the fight forward. vets and storm troopers are my rapid response, and will go towards where i need them. demolisher leads the charge, and has 2 lemun russ behind providing cover fire. between all the lazcannon on the weapon teams and tanks, the demolisher cannon and if needed the battle cannons, antitank not an issue. autocannons help with transport popping and other light tank or hev infantry dutie, while everyone else advances with plasma to bake MEQ. that and battlecannons make nice MEQ paste.

any thoughts?

You have no melta in the list - look at those vets and stormies.

Stormtroopers in chimeras - 10 man squads seem a bit excessive.

Those infantry squads need power weapons and a commissar so they don't immediately fold in CC. I'd also give the PCS flamers to shield the platoon.

HWS are good, but would like a Lord Comm as second HQ in there so they can use his leadership for orders etc.

HB sponsons on the russes are not necessary and could be spent elsewhere.

My question is where's the mobile counter attack? If anything comes close you're just going to shoot it exactly like before.

List wise not too bad but I think the Storm Troopers aren't worth it, especially when riding about in a Chimera you can just get Veterans to do that for a lot lot cheaper.

Leman Russ doesn't need heavy bolters and the lascannon is expensive on it, 15 points and it will hit 50/50. The Leman Russ will be firing at infantry or light armour. I would save the point and invest else where.

Demolisher doesn't need plasma cannons really, just makes it too expensive.
