Looks pretty lean and mean, man. Hard to find something to criticize.

Do you really need carapace on the CCS? I would take krak grenades on the CCS and PCS, and give the blob sgt's meltabombs. That way all your squads but the SWS's can handle vehicles.

I would make the special weapon teams have 3X demo charges since you will be putting them in vendettas to deepstrike!

Your CCS should cost 160 points with that equipment - incidentally you don't really need carapace on that squad at all. I would give the squad melta or plasma guns instead of flamers - you've already tasked the PCS for that sort of thing, and with the HFs on the chimeras that's enough flame IMO.

All that means you need to cut points. Maybe 3x demolishers instead of your current tank set-up? Or just drop the executioner to a LR w/plasma sponsons. That's all I can think of that could be cut without seriously reducing the army.

Also, I think one SWS w/3 demo charges would be more threatening than 2 with flamers, unless you face lots and lots of hordes, the AP is more useful. That would free up one of your vendettas to snipe at vehicles - it kind of constrains your tactics when a gunship has to transport a unit around instead of firing at full effect each turn.

I've tried at all flamer CCS and it doesn't work too well, which btw the squad comes to 170 points not 120.

Demolishers are good, I used executioner it wasn't massively impressive and costs a bit. I've dropped it for a single battle tank which does better.

You could save yourself 110pts in carapace, you could quite happily drop the PCS chimera & give them 2xgl & 1xautocannon.

Those flamer special weapon squads, you have enough flamer-weapons if you dropped 1/2 of what you have now so do you have any idea's for more useful squads? Perhaps some demolition veterans?

You have nothing special in this list. And by special, I mean big-honking killy weapons. You will have a hard time vs monoliths but I guess thats only an issue for my local metagame.

Good luck.

whoah, I didn't even register the fact that the veterans had carapace as well. Yeah, it's not that efficient for them - they're protected by the vehicle, and if it blows up they can either shelter in or behind the wreck/crater, or they can just act as a suicide squad (because honestly, <10 T3 guys right in the enemy's face, the 4+ save won't do that much to help)

I'd give those squads demolitions before I gave them carapace, but see if you can fit in more units first.

Razerous' advice is sound - 1/2 the current amount of flamers is enough, more high-strength weapons, since they can function against hordes and vehicles.
