Hey guys, here is my 1500pt Imperial Guard list. Just a quick question before I hack up my metal bird, will I be better off with a Vendetta with 3 twin-linked lascannons or a Valkyrie with MRP and heavy bolters?

I'm not too sure if I need the extra anti-infantry or anti-tank.

So which would be better for me, Valkyrie or Vendetta?

Thanks.

Probably vendetta, you already have plenty of anti infantry with russes and infantry

Whats the difference? Between the two birds?

Well, the Vendetta is primarily anti-tank armed with 3 twin linked lascannons

whilst the Valkerie is primarily anti-infantry armed with a multi-laser and 2 Multiple Rocket Pods (which if memory serves fire a strength four blast each)

Nice.
