Good Afternoon,

Below is a list that I used this weekend in a campaign that our store is hosting. I played a imperial guard player and started out doing well but the game ended ina draw. So please review the list and let me know where you think that I could make changes to improve my game's outcome. I would like to be semi-competitive but I know that I won't be dominating tournaments until the dex is revised.

Note: Please forgive the lack of points information as I am posting this from the office and do not have access to my dex or armylists; this is being added from memory.

Interesting list.

Why the plasma cannon spam?
It this list specifically against IG?

Basically, I thought they would be more useful but after playing a guard player that had three valkyries I feel that they are a little lacking. Normally, I include two PC’s in a couple of my TAC squads and will use missile launchers in my Devastator squad but honestly I just want to be able to win a few more games. I’m wondering if I should run my DA Battle Company as ‘Green Marines’ instead.
I’m hoping that the people in the forums can help me optimize my list(s).

Thanks,

FH

I have an identical dev. sq. Its not a smart choice unless playing Nids or IG. But i like the models and its fun when they misfire

So I went home last night and created a Greenwing list using the SM Codex intsead of the DA Codex. Some items I was unable to change but I stopped by the store last night and picked up the Kantor and Sternguard models. I've included them in the list to allow me to have four scoring units vs. the previous three. Please review and tell me your thoughts on this updated list.
