Ok so this is my first attempt at a tournament list but tell me what you guys think.

HQ-185
CCS
creed
flamers x3
krak grenades
chimera

elete-65
marbo

troop-185 x3
vets
melta x3
demo
chimera

troop-130 x3
vets
demo
flamer x2
heavy flamer

fast attack-130 x3 (Each separate not a squad)
vendeta

Heavy Support-75 (Each separate not a squad)
griffon

Three of the vets will be in the vendetas which will scout and bust any tanks while the flamer vets and griffons mop up infantry and the other vets take objectives. Its a lot of KPs but I think it has a good shot at tabling opponents any way. Thoughts? Suggestions?

You need some plasma shots. Maybe kit your command squad with them. I assume melta vets will scout in vendettas. Thats really nice. Flamer vets are great too. Only thing you will have problem with are MEQs if you cannot get you melta guys close to them because you dont have those plasmas. Buy shotguns to vendetta squads to assault with melta bombs (!!!)

Melta vets are in a chimera . Appears flamer vets are in vendettas.

Some plasma wouldn't go a-miss and w0chtulka's suggestion of shotguns compliment the demo's

Where are you taking your command squad such that the flamers in it will actually come into range of something?

Why Creed? You do realize that squads inside vehicles can not receive orders right?

Having all that been said, I like pretty much everything else you have going on.

Since it seems that you're keeping everything in vehicles as much as possible, why not lose the CCS and go for a primaris or Yarrick? Really, you could do two primaris psykers and throw them in your flamer vet squads for some extra assault goodness. On the other hand, if you know something I don't about Creed, I'd love to hear it.

ok so hows this for a revised list.

personally i'm not a fan of marbo it will be all on its lonesome and get annihilated either get something else to support this unit, personally i would say drop it all together to get the pysker squad that daedalus said you are looking to get close to ur enemy and you need something that can hold its ground in the assault phase.

Lookin like a good mechvet list. Get some shotguns on that melta squad - the range/type match up.

Get shotguns for all squads with close range weapons only. For plasma squad i would swap demolitions with carapace for purposes of gets hot. Marbo really isnt a "unit". Marbo is 65pt demo charge with BS5 you can put anywhere. He is pretty nasty. Enemy will be scared of him and will have to deal with him or risk him running around scoring some wounds on say sniping/camping squads probaly killing them. The demo charge is enough for Marbo to pay himself. Enemy doesnt want to assault him because they need to worry about rest of the army. Psyker battle squad is too cheesy. You buy 3 of them in chimeras go around making ld1, then autopin with sniper rifles and mortars.

New list is looking betters.

One problem with the plasma gun vets, they cannot assault after using the plasma guns - so you cannot use the demos. You want to use the demos means not firing the plasma guns. I would drop the demos and also the plasma pistol on the sgt - you don't want your sgt failing that gets hot save and you lose the higher leadership value - bad times :(

Really though, I think you have too many troops and not enough heavy support. You've got two short range meltas and two vendettas for anti tank. Pop the vendettas first due to the long range, then go for the meltas. You then have nothing which can threat armour. I also think a solo griffon is a easy pickings, and probably won't do a lot on its own, though because its not that tough I think it will most likely be ignored.

You can use both weapons at the same time if you are close enough but you cannot assault after that. You dont want plasma pistol for your sarge thats right.

When going vets you need to take at least 5 squads at 1750 pts. Two melta veteran squads in vendettas + some lascannons and high str shots from tanks etc can do you anti tank well.

In fact there are three griffons and three vendettas. Too many IMO. Hellhound is great, demolishers are great. Consider taking them.

Drop marbo + LC for a melted or plasma-up CCS
