OK, as opposed as I am to showing my list about...I could use a bit of feedback on the new Guard.

I am thinking if the Vindicare doesn't show me a bit more in the next few test games I will replace him with two squads of Rough Riders for a bit of Counter Assault.

Rocket melta in squads not good waste Melta has to get so close and missle you cant move and fire.

Heavy weapon teams are ok but can be insta killed by S 6 and higher

So few scoring at 1850 only 7 units can cap. obj.

What do the Demoilshers. have just bare bones. They can get popped easliy.

The Hq and Elites is ok why not take the is it the calldius one inch away ?That way you can be like surpise !

IDK it's up to you not alot of Obj. Grabing and very easy to get around and kill. IMO.

I prefer to remain static and fire the Rockets then use the Melta if necessary (LRs!) I can't see not having either as both are good AT shots. Any suggestions for something different that isn't already covered by my 6 Chimeras?

Yeah, they are the only ones I have for a reason...lol Plus they'll be in the Veteran's Chimera if the Vets Infiltrate or at least in cover. Still, they are pretty cheap for 3 Lascannons.

You only need 1 more than an opponent, and they max amount of objectives out there is 5....why is 6 "few"? I have 6 BTW.

I like to keep them cheap. Camo netting is the only thing to add to them to make them more survivable, and it's not worth the points IMO.

Yes the Vindicare gets little love nowadays, but I thought he'd be good for taking out important single models in squads like Power Claws, Painboyz, Icons and such.

huh, well it is a work in progress... and I tend to play things out of the norm for a challenge.

I kind of like this list. Not too melta heavy, has a bit of variety to it too. In objectives you arent going to be too static, but the Chimeras help let you move up a squad or two while still being able to fire missile launchers from the hatch on the ones that havent moved.

Also, one tactic for those heavy weapon squads is to have the Chimeras screen in front of them, blocking LoS, and then moving them out of the way for the Lascannon team to fire.

Overall not bad, I'd like to see a batrep of your game with this list
