It's looking a lot stronger than it did originally. The boltguns bringing you to 1504 might get some complaints since they're throw-away upgrades that would put you back to the 1500 limit.

I think I was being picky with the demolishers, this will be pretty strong.

How about ditching the lone chimera for Marbo?

Edit: I wish my army lists would get 2 pages worth of criticism ):

I think the list is looking pretty good. 100 pairs of boots on the table at 1500 pts is a LOT of guys and will be hard to deal with, I think. I agree with Griddlelol that the easiest way to get to 1500 pts is to ditch the bolters.

I would like to see special weapons in the PIS', but not sure where you could scrounge points. Maybe drop ONE infantry squad in order to free up points for special weapons and the extra 10 pts to swap the chimera for Marbo. I just think it's better to have zero chimerae than a lone chimera, because a lone one will be a fire magnet. Maybe you could get camo cloaks with some of the freed-up points.

@ Griddlelol -- do you have any lists up currently that you're looking for criticism on?

Check the list again guys, 3 chimeras, not 1.

Should I have the flamers in the PCSs or the line squads?

If anything I'd drop the krak grenades in the CCS.

3 chimerae, but only 1 with anything worth shooting inside. The problem with chimerae is that you have to go all or nothing to make the points investment worth it.

This list will be tough to deal with, that's a lot of infantry. It'll win, but not in the way I like winning (which I guess is preference).

NWansbutter, I did, but I'm happy with it (: I'm just a criticism whore. I like to be able to iron out every little problem.

Thanks for your help Griddlelol.

If the Chimerae aren't going to be good targets should I take them out for a lascannon HWS? Or should I keep them for more dakka and the ability to rush out and grab objectives?

+++LAST REVISION+++

These three lists are the best I can come up with. A few people at my FLGS told me not to take an ADL because people will just park a piece of terrain that blocks LOS in front of it, or put lethal terrain such as a lava river right behind it so I can't use it.

So, I made two lists that don't use an ADL, and one that does. THESE ARE MY FINAL LISTS! Just say if you think list # 1, list #2, or list #3 is better.
