#1 Common one:
Hey guys.. we have a little tournament in town and I am not sure which list would do better.
First is a very common MechVet list with some adjustments to my play style and
the second one is a LR Hull only list.

Plz give some advice ;-)

Well I definitely wouldn't use the second list. As tempting as 7 LRs might sound. It would only take the ability to kill two valkyries and a handful of T3 Sv 5+ guys to completely nerf your ability to take objectives. You also don't really have any anti-tank ability of your own save for the demolishers and a few one shot hellstrikes (good luck with those). Now I'm not a fan of the MechVet lists, but if you're going to take them, put heavy flamers on the hulls of the chimeras. They're so much better than the heavy bolters.

first question, are you chims pre set with the gear you have listed on each of them? If not see below.


I would buy camo for your HQ because once the chim is dead and blown up. You can then use the wreck for a three plus save while moving forward some what with good placement to keep the three plus save.

If anything I would look at what chims are going to be moving forward and what chims are going to be holding ground. Re adjust your heavy weapon to better line up with your plasma ie add a Lascannon and drop the heavy bolter. Maybe even set up some of the backfield tanks with camo so that you can pop smoke and still blast away with the long range fire power.

I like your first list personally but would rather add the astropath as they are both keepers.
