This is supposed to be a fluffy list that hopefully will be able to win quite a few games. Its built with city fighting in mind (hence the demolisher, sentinels, MLs, and shotgun vets). I was thinking of dropping the sentinels in favor of a chimera for the vets and a few more guardsmen. Or I could forgo the chimera for gunnery sergeant harker so they get infiltrate. My thinking in the command squad is that since they have BS 4, give em the best weapons. I'm having some second thoughts about that and thinking about swapping the lascannon for an autocannon and dropping the plasma gun all together. If i made all of those switches I would give the special weapon squad with the grenade launcher 2 demos.

What do you guys think?

Anyone?

WEll drop all your GL's. I dont care if their modeled, they are terrible. Get flamers instead (fits cityfight too.) Comand squad wise, Most people use them bare with just a mortar and vox, and hide the squad while shouting out orders.

I've heard mixed things about grenade launchers. Really for 5 points I replace a lasgun with something that has a chance at being useful. If more people tell me otherwise, I'll be sure to drop them.

Another shameless bump

Grenade Launchers not worth it at all IMO just like the old dex not worth it.

2 demos are not worth it could scatter in to your self. Demolisher is kinda weak just lascannon and stubber :(

Dont buy vets Flamers waste of there BS.
Vox Casters I still dont like IMO

all I can come up with for know.

Something you could try is replacing your infantry squads with veterans. take the vets with heavy weapons or assault weapons and give them camo cloaks. Also ratlings would be a great idea. Take advantage of the 3+ cover save.
Also you have an opportunity to make some urban coloured cammo netting for tanks or sentinels. I think hell hounds and/or bane wolfs are a must in city fight.

I think that special weapon squads are a waste of points because platoon command squads do the same thing, with more weapons for cheaper; or vet squads take the demo charges on top of the other 3 special weapons they can take (but this would take away the option of camo cloaks)

If you do go the route with vets you will be decent at hand to hand too with some power fists.

p.s.
Despite armoured sentinels sucking, I think they are a cool concept and would compliment the theme of the army well.

Platoon HQ Squad w 4 GL comes to 50 points. Having a BS4 does wonders. Has a chance to take down light armor. Plus great against deep struck units that are bunched up. Yes they are Str 3 when shooting frag. But if you hit with a few of the GLs, you get to roll lots of dice to wound. Granted you need 5s against T4. You still get to roll lots of dice.

Well Platoon Command Squads do get BS 4, but I figure I'll lump grenade launchers in their anyways since 4 blasts might actually do something, here's a revised list:

I have to say that guardsmen bearing heavy bolters isn't a good thing. The first priority of the IG is to imobilize the enemy and the second is to eliminate strong points of the army. The autocannons you have in the other units would do a better job at these. I find heavy bolters are only good against nids and arguably orks (if they only have AV10 truks).

das alot of dudes
i dont know what every one hates GL my thought about the flamer is if your using it then that squad is probally dead to assult
and if you could i would put plasma cannon sponsons on the demolisher in the old dex i bought it just for them cannons

H.bolters are good for ROF anti-troop killyness. Grenade launchers are basically either upgrade lasguns.. more str3 hits per shot.. or they are for dealing with 4+ troops along with either h.bolters/AC's. Str6 ap 4 is a good weapon, esp @ 24".

Flamers, while cool, have rubbish range.

Moo & those plasma guns may not work well together as one can pick targets anywhere & the other can only pick targets within a 12/24" bubble.

Either give the armored sentinels plasma cannons or keep the scatter laser. Autocannons work well with 'Bring it down' & 'Fire on my target'. A sentinel isnt the most ideal platform for a AC.

Who said vox casters arent worth it? Sorry? The single most useful thing in the new IG codex - Orders. The ability to re-roll GBITF isnt worth it? If you plan to combine those infantry squads often (id recommend it) then only get a couple of cox casters. Otherwise get one per squad. Also - all of the command squads do with them aswell.

Id say this list needs a little bit more punch, ideally lascannons with the infantry. If you blow up that demolisher - you effectively remove the teeth of this list.

I have to admit that over the years I have come to the opinion that all of the special and heavy weapons have their uses in a guard army (well except for mortars which consistently underperform).

Therefore HB's and GL's can be quite effective (although my current personal favorite combo right now is for AC's, LC's, plasma guns, and meltaguns).
