Hello dakka. I'm trying to get ready for a tourny coming up and am looking for critique and opinions on this list.

The plan is to park the Commissar Tank as close to as many Guns as possible to pass orders on Ld 10. I can leave one CCS behind a tank to block LoS and make sure whoever went to ground can get back in the fight. Ignores cover might be rough but the targets will be armour 14 or T7 for them.
Inquisitor for the servo skulls and divination.
Riders for some situational deep strike intercept.

The Commissar Tanks says any Imperial Guard units are counted as Ld 10, and my Death Korps book says that the Korps are a variation of a Imperial Guard army.
Would I come into problems with this or should it be legal?

Personally I would drop the Demolishers down to something cheaper. They're short ranged and very expensive and I don't feel they work terribly well in this edition.

Dropping them would also save you some points to put elsewhere, like Lascannons for the Vanquisher tanks (might as well for 10pts each to get BS4 lascannons on those command tanks). Likewise, I'd drop the mole launcher on the Engineers and see if you can find points for a Hades drill, as that adds a ton of utility and you can play all sorts of shennanigans with it (such as manipulating positioning and wound allocation to lose a 2 or 3 engineers and then the whole unit becomes T7).

As much as I like the models for the Death Riders, they usually just die straight away before they can ever do anything. If you want them for cool factor, I get that, but otherwise I'd drop them for some additional meatshield bodies or some Rapier Laser Destroyers (those things are *amazing*).

Thanks for the review!

Took your advice about the rapiers, hades lascannons and the riders. Here is the new list

CAD

Elites

2x Rapiers +1 extra crew

Troops
Single Demolisher

Everything else is the same.

I like the idea of the hades to give me some reach for objectives as well. How many engineers need to remain before the unit is T7?

Looks good. Do the Engineers have a Hades there?

The engineers get to be T7 when the Hades Drill becomes the Majority Wounds in the unit, so if drill is W3 and you've only got 2 or 3 W1 Engineer dudes left, the whole unit then becomes T7 (but always remember to keep one Engineer alive or the drill goes away too).

I do yes. 4 Engineers and a Watchmaster with an axe. Thank you for that bit about the wounds and majority toughness. I have been playing it as a model by Model basis not wounds in the unit so I have been missing out! Maybe my hades will live longer now

No problem, hope it works out!
