So, the idea is that my Vets will Scout move in the Vendettas and take out armor early.

Vendettas will be sniping for transports but hell, if an early shot on a LR comes why not take it.

Second Platoon will be my gunline, gave them a few Lascannons and Autocannons to snipe transports and a Vox to hopefully TL the shots. Autocannons will go a long way towards killing High T infantry as well.

I'll blob them up with the Commissar so they form a solid line.

The two Chimeras can either be used to transport squads of guardsmen wherever I need them or to keep my CCS safe from harm and bolster the line where the fighting is thickest.

The other chimera can take my four flamer PCS w/ the P. Fist on horde control.

This is the first true army list I have created so any advice would be awesome. Also thinking of shifting things around a bit and adding an Inquisitor Ally but for now, this is it.

Yeah I know, it really is just a thing of perfect beauty =p

I assume you know that veteran squads are not part of the platoon and you're just lumping them in with 1 platoon for convenience. Also, which squads are actually assigned chimeras? It's important because only those squds can start the game inside. (sorry if I'm telling you crap you already know)

I would organise your infantry platoons differently, so that 30 men blob with lascannons and a commissar, and 30 men blob with grenades and autocannons.

Heavy support is fine, but I saw someone suggest using a vanilla LRBT with plasma sponsons the other day, and I was thinking about it. 190 points. Compared to a naked executioner, one of your templates is much bigger (better str, worse AP) and the tank is a bit less effective while moving (although less threatened by weapon destroyed results). Why not take one of these babies over the super-executioner you have now, and use the 40 points saved to give plasma sponsons to another LR? This seems like a really efficient way of doing things to me.

Also, this is a sort of mixed infantry-armour-air support list, why do you describe it as 'airborne'? 3/4 of your army is firmly on the ground.

Thanks for the advice, sounds pretty solid to me.

About the name? Idk, I'm just testing names at the moment lol I figured it would be more of a 173rd Airborne/ Some Armoured unit regiment but didnt have the name made up yet =p

And yes, the vets are just lumped into that platoon.

I knew about the Chimeras but wasn't sure which squads to assign them to so I just tossed them in there
