This is the list I am playing tomorrow. It comes to just 1010, but that won't be a problem for our gaming group.

What do you think?

The battle plans:

'Gunline guard' says it all. Just lay back, kill things from long range with the mortars, lascannons, leman russ,...Then wait until they reach medium range, and plasma them to death. That's it for kill points.

For objectives, much tha same plans, but have 1 platoon ready, with support of the russ to snatch or contest objectives from the enemy in a last ditch effort.

I like where it's going, but a couple of suggestions.

Firstly, the battlecannon on the russ isn't doing anything that massed plasma and lasgun fire can't do. I'd start by taking this vehicle out, and putting in something that plasma guns aren't particularly good at (like anti-AV14). Likewise for the mortar HWS.

Secondly, who no blobs? If you took out your entire vox net, you could afford a commissar and a couple more plasma guns.

Perhaps you'd consider a list more like:

CCS, MoO, lascannon, vox, sniper rifle

PCS, 3x plasma
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma, commissar, vox
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma
HWS, lascannons

PCS, 3x plasma
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma, commissar, vox
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma
PIS, plasma pistol, plasma
HWS, lascannons

1000 pts.

That way you get blobs, which will be much harder to break, and get much better efficiency of orders, along with more anti-tank and more plasma guns.

I would drop the Voxs, mortar squad. I am a bigger fan of GL/AC Squads for a gunline idea, but to each his own. I haven't ever had good experience with IG and plasma, so I would say go GL/AC with all your Squads, ML your HWS, and try and pick up another LRBT (dropping the sponsons on the one you have).

1,000 IG:
-CCS w/ Standard, Cloaks, 3x Plasma
-2x PCS w/ 3x Plasma, Commissar
-4x IS w/ GL, AC
-HWS w/ 3x ML
-2x LRBTs (I have an odd obsession for LRBts, they always make it into my IG lists)

Not the best, but still has the Plasma you love, but a bit more firepower and standing power.

Hmm, This seems a bit more solid then my list. But, I honsetly never ran a list with commisars. I wrote up your sugested list, And I am going to try it out first game tomorrow. It's hard for me to let g of my leman russ though. Meh, The guard needs to reorganise. Thanks Ailaros

No prob.

The problem with plasma-based lists is that they're kind of expensive, pointswise. I don't know how much success you'll have with a plasma-based list at this points level if you take points away from plasma.

On the plus side, the scale up to 1500 from here could easily be accomplished with 3 lascannon demolishers.

That's what I planned for. If I play 1500 pts I'll add three leman russes. But I think I'm pretty covered now. with 75 guardsmen on the board, and seven anti tank totting lascannons, That's still prety impressive in a thousand points game.

ah well, lets hope for the best tomorrow

yeah, let us know how it goes.

I'm considering to take my camera with me, and writing a batrep. (Given that I find my camera first.) I'll put the batrep up, with or without pictures, and post a link here.

You might want some more support for ur troops, get anther tank

if you know a shenanigan that allows me to sneak a tank worth 180 pts or so, in a list that's already at maximum pts limit, without raising the pts, I'll do just that. Savvie?
