Now I have a rough list in mind and the whole thing depends how many vet squads I bring determining the points for goodies.

The list would look like this:

CCS. 4xmeltas chimera

2xvet squads 3xplasma guns. Chimera

vet squad 3x melta guns chimera

2x griffons


At this point there is 210 points left wich means
a) another vet squad with meltas and either marbo or upgrades
or
b) grop the griffons and buy 2 hellhounds and 100pts of misc.


So the question is at 1000pts which is better given the circumstances listed above, option "A" or "B"?

This probably should go in the army list section. Not sure though.

But I think you have plenty of vets. You have nothing but multi lasers and griffons which will do nadda to marines at long range. You're only heavy vehicle or marine killing stuff is most effective at 12 inches which means you're gonna get charged in the face the turn after you shoot.

I personally don't love melta vet spam. To me melta vets are for stuff that got way too close and now needs to be dealth with. If you build melta vet heavy you basically are setting up 1/3 - 1/2 of your army that is only useful w/ 12 inches of an enemy. And being within 12 inches of virtually any army is bad news for guard.

A lot of people would disagree with me, just by opinion.
