Hey there. Just played a game with my Imperial Guard against Space Marines. They are the splinter in my heel. Every time I play them I find them ridiculously hard to beat.
My guys are just so weak against them & those 3+ armour saves never seem to fail!
In my dismay I believe that I have finally found a list that makes them at least tip-toe about me slightly, if not actually fear the might of my fire power & seek cover at every opportunity.
The list is as follows.

HQ
Company Command
Plasma Pistol
Plasma guns X4
Chimera - Free Flamer

Troops
Veterans
Meltas X3
Heavy Bolter

I hope that you guys like it.
I have found that using Squads of Vehicles is really quite a hindrance rather than a bonus.
The bonus - you can get more Tanks in a list. The hindrance - The Tanks are destroyed much more easily.
That is why I am not running any Vehicle squads.
I think the above list will definitely give any opponent something to think about.
Plenty of Tank busting units, ranged & close to deal with Mech Armies.
And plenty of flamers with a few pie plates for horde/swarm/infantry armies.

All comments welcome. Please keep it friendly though.
Cheers.

It must be really hard to get feedback on IG lists right now, I see about a million of them, lots of them with veterans in chimeras. The only things in this list I might consider wasted space are the heavy bolters on veterans, and the plasma pistol on the company commander. Could you at least give pask a lascannon with those points? (maybe he has one and you forgot to list it, it seems like an obvious upgrade for a tank hunter.

I'd prob loose the Plasma Pistol. Although you are right, the H.Bolters are not really paying for their points. Unless I am sitting my men on an objective & not moving them! Which does happen every now & then. Plus, I do still like spreading wounds onto the base if I happen to get into combat, thus keeping an extra attack. I do seem to remember killing about 3/4 Dire Avengers with a base last week....!
