I tried make mech psyker IG list.
and I orderd 5 chimera. But its canceled because new chimera is coming.

So,I need to make psyker IG list without using chimeras.

I have:
3 cadian shock troops
2 psyker battle squad
1 primaris pysker
2 LR battle tank
2 heavy weapon team

3 sentinel

With using these I'm making IG list. And till chimera come out,I'll not buy any other miniatures.
Till chimera come out,I need fight with these miniatures.

HQ
Primaris Pysker

Elite
Pysker Battle Squad(10 men)
Psyker Battle Squad(10 men)

Troop
Veteran Squad 3Melta
Veteran Squad 3Melta
Veteran Squad 3Plasma

Heavy
LR Battle Tank + Lascannon + Havy Bolter sponson
LR Battle Tank + Lascannon + Havy Bolter sponson

I didnt calculated yet but its roughly 1000 pts.

I need advice for this list.
I'm lacking miniatures indeed. But as I said before,I'll not add any.
So within this limitation I need to try make good list.

with short ranged weapons and on foot these guys wont do much. i would make 2 of the squads have autocannons with plasma's and one melta team.

these are fine. two big LOS blocking models to give all thoz Psykers a nice cover save.

Thx!

No room for sentinels?

And why autocannon? For light vehicle?

Lascannons on LRBT's are absolutely terrible, their bs3 renders them far too unreliable. Flamers or HB's are FAR better and free. Sentinals... well, there is a good reason that you don't see them used competitively. They are worse than lascannons on LRBT's in 90% of armies.

in this army I can actually see sentinals working if you are using them to give your veterans a cover save, if you give em' camo cloaks.

okay, I'm thinking into the text box and it gave me an idea. This might be a bad list but here goes!

Primaris psyker 65
(Attaches to veteran squad #1)

3 sentinals with autocannons 120
(your veterans will hide behind these for cover, and they might do well to block assaults, if you have armored sentinals they are great for this)

PBS 105,
PBS 105
hide these guys however you see fit, and use them to slow down advancing jerks or blow them away

LRBT, heavy bolter 300
LRBT, Heavy bolter

vets, 3 sniper rifles, mortar, camo - 125
(EASY to convert from lasguns, and cause pinning tests which your PBS can make quite problematic for your enemy)
vets, 3 plasma guns, grenadiers, camo, - 180
(Fire away

My points totals could be a bit off, no codex for 50 miles!

you have lots of ranged shooting, and in turns 1 & 2 your lrBT;s stand a chance of blowing up some transpo's. Your tiny gunline is well defended by the sentinals, which should not be squadroned for any reason. No melta in this force, but great shooting.
