C&C!

mmmmmm... autocannons

if youre vets are killd, what is youre anti-heavy tank next?

add a comisar to youre platoon squads and it is a great risk to let youre CCS stay on table with no transport

There's a few issues that I can see. First off is the lack of a transport for the CCS. You'll either want them moving up with the Vets (to give them BiD) or sat on the board edge projecting a longer order radius. Why only two plasma guns?

You could really do with a Commisar or two in that infantry platoon, and then combine them into bigger squads of 30. They'll be a lot more durable that way and won't run when something so much as looks at them funny.

I prefer Hydras over AC HWSs but YMMV.

The Hellhound is cool, and the stock LRMBT gives you some durable ordnance blasts. Good.

Sort out the CCS/platoon and you're looking golden.

Agreed with my fellow commentators here. The CCS needs to have a purpose. It's not durable enough to foot slong it up, and giving plasma guns to an orders factory is a bad idea.

My biggest conern is that your giant 40 man blob of autocannon doom will run away the secon someone charges it. My recommendation? Drop one of the autocannon HWS...Emperor knows you have enough autocannons, and plasma weapons from the CCS. Use the points from that to buy a Commissar and a few power weapons for those infantry of yours. That way, even if they get charged, they: a) Won't run away too easily, b) Put up a good fight. AND if an enemy is just getting too close for comfort, you can charge THEM and wreak some serious havoc with those power weapons. Trust me...prickly fire line blob squads may seem to be a waste, but trust me. It's worth it.

Dumping the hellhound in favor of a commissar (or two) for your infantry platoon and a chimera for your CCS will vastly improve this list.

So would some special or power weapons in your infantry squads.

I agree with the above comments: large infantry units should have either special and heavy weapons, or power and special weapons. In the latter case, and probably in the former as well, they should have a commissar.

Any blob squad should have a Commissar. Otherwise, you'll haveblobs of 50 Guardsmen running off the table (or worse, run down trying to get away from close combat!). Trust me, nothing is worse than seeing a huge junk of your points run screaming like that. A Commissar is DEFINITELY worth the investment.
