Hello all I was just wondering if mech guard well become a more viable army list. With the new rules about tank squadrons and a cheaper chimara I persoal really want to make a mech Ig army but I am wondering if it can be viable.

It will be very viable. Assault armies will cry when faced with 12+ vehicles.

With the proper wargear, upgrades, units, and time, a list can be made with IG than can fight well against most armies. It requires a Codex, and the willingness to learn how to create said list. Beautiful part about IG.

They great thing about the new codex is that you can mechanize platoons, and not your whole army. I think a full mech force could be powerful as long as it can stay out of melee with powerfists/MC. That's why it's nice to have some meat to block those threats. But regardless, 4+ AV14 and a bunch of AV12 is going to be a bear to take out.

Well I am thinking of going all mech infantry (everyone is in chimaras). I also plan to have at least 6 leman russes of ( mostly of normal kind but with some others). I am also taniing thew tank sergant (I figure he would do well with my reliance on tanks). I also plan to banewolf,a hellhound and a vandate or two. I think I would be okay beacuse even all with most of my points in tanks and such I would still have a minin of 6 scoring troops. Note this is my 2000 piont list but I could alway dum it down Would this be viable.
