I'd love to but what i wrote is all i have.
I wish i could tho...

Could you list all the models you have then so we can make suggestions based on that?

I currently own:

1 Company Command Squad
10 Storm Troopers
2 Infantry squad
3 Heavy weapon teams
2 Chimera(Going to buy the third 1 tomorrow)
1 Sentinel


Also, i only have 50$ to spend tomorrow.

My advice, don't grab the new Chimera just yet. Build a list that you like and work toward it rather than trying to patch holes in your current army.

how do i do that?

You read lists and battle reports here, proxy some models, talk to people at a local gaming shop. Theory craft lists with models you don't yet have that suit your style of play. You can even get a program called vassal and play some games online.

Cool thanx, thats an very good tips right there.
But i really feel like treating myself, i guess i shoud get another infantry squad, cant go rong with that right?
Or could you have any other suggestion?

Try using auto cannons instead of HB, they are better at popping transports.

I used ratlings the other day for the first time, the performed awesomlly at 500 point level.

my list for 500 points

No CCS

3x4 ratlings
2xvets/ plasma auto chimera
2xscout sentinels with autocannons.
going up to 750, I would just add another vet squad and 2 more plasmas in each squad,maybe add a couple more snipers.

Playing guard is so unfair

Your list only works if you're allowed to ignore force organization.

As has been said, I'd try out different ideas before you buy a load of models. Once you do commit, you'll want either chimeras, and/or battleforce box to start off. These are the kits you'll get the most utility out of.

On the trying out models thing, try and get your hands on some extra 50mm bases - lots of online stores stock them, many of which, eg maelstrom games, giftsforgeeks, thewarstore offer discounts from retail GW prices. A HW set comes with options for all the weapons - by mixing standing and kneeling models, and putting different weapons on the extra bases, you can make lots of extra HWTs for cheap. You still need standard guardsmen and bases of course, but these are a lot less expensive. It's a good way to build up your points quickly.

I think your best plan is to come up with a large list that you ar happy with, then building up to it. At 750 points, you don't really have a relevant army anyway, so you can basically bring anything. If money is tight, this is the best route to go.

Norade, You are correct. At the store I play at we allow deviation from FOC and limit armor to 33(front, side, rear) in games under 800 points. The only requirement is you must use at least one troops choice.

That being said the list could also be run with a CCS instead of one of the vet squads, same porpose, less bodies, and cheaper.

@ 750

CCS auto cannon 2 plasmas chimera
vets autocannon 3 plasmas chimera
vets autocannon 3 plasmas chimera
2 sentinels autocannon
15 ratlings 3x5

25 points left over to play with
