critic please

Sound enough list, but against vehicles your only real power is in the super-fragile lascannon HWS and the melta-veterans.

Advice: autocannons are better than HBs, hands down. They're almost the same against T4 infantry, HBs are better against T3. Against anything else, autocannons are better. They really are the best thing to have if you end up facing a lot of transports. I would switch all HBs for autocannons.

You should spend some points spreading voxes through your stationary platoon and CCS. At least the 2nd PCS needs a chimera, it's a great help in seizing objectives.

Places you could get points for those changes: HB sponsons on the LRBT, and the mortar squad, are pretty poor weapons IMO, you could cut those. For better anti-heavy tank, try making the 2nd PCS 3xmeltas, 1 heavy flamer. Also, a CCS can really use a regimental standard, it will really help your 1st platoon to stick around. You may need to save more points, try cutting the lascannon squad down to autocannons. They'll draw less fire.

Ranged anti tank?

to tell you the truth i've never really had trouble with anti tank

now fully mounted thats where it really hurts me lol

Well you should do because you only have one fragile lascannon team. Russes aren't massive armour poppers and one veteran squad in a chimera needs support.

Though, you won't have problem with armour as last time I played at Cannock armour wasn't popular in lists.

it is still pretty much that way now

just got my secound chimera and am re writting my list to include my vendetta

mainly because it looks cool and kicks ass

p.s. you should come down again after christmas i think that by then the new changes will be in place and things will be alot better

When I went was a lot of kids mainly who didn't know the rules. Didn't have proper games and was just a random free for all tbh.

Also mardy arse people and people who play armies which ceased to exist years ago and who don't know the rules for their own armies make it hard to play.

I hope all this has been sorted as I now rather travel to B'Ham than up the road to get a quality game :(

I'll pop down after christmas, what changes are being done?
