The Lord Commissar attaches himself to one of the power blobs and the heavy weapons squads deploy around him to take advantage of his leadership 10 bubble. Against horde, the griffons and the sheer number of las guns with the volley fire order SHOULD be enough to win the day. Whatever is not killed from shells and las guns gets charged. For heavier targets, the las cannons and missile launchers give me stopping power from afar, while the melta guns deal with anything that gets closer. The Hydras are there to wreck transports or skimmers, whatever is more dangerous. And that's basically it.

The list actually has 25 points to spare but I couldn't figure out what to fill it out with.

You need to add in a ccs so that you can up your orders. You have a foot guard that could really use order and you need more units that can give the orders. You might try Creed so that you can get the 24" orders, and four orders to go with that.

The aura of your Lord Commissar means all your heavy weapon squads are going to be clustered together and be pie plate bait. If you don't get Creed and Kell (because if you get one you get both) at least get a 2nd Lord Commissar and split up your forces some.

Hm... you raise a very good point. I don't think I can find points for Creed and Kell without taking the bite out of the artillery, but a 2nd Lord Commissar shouldn't be too hard.

Personally I would say check out my 1500P list before you say you should win against Hordes. At least you put a should.

This list looks nasty Blast templates and FRSRF will decimate most things. My only complaint is Master of Ordance should be included. Apart from that IMO very solid.

Creed and or another Ccs to add in another two orders to help. Its just that you have so many units and with board set up. You are going to be out of range and or unable to dish out that many orders in that area.

I wasn't going to rely on orders too much to be honest. I also don't think I can run any company command squads as I need the lord commissar for the leadership 10 bubble, and will be adding a second so I can spread around the HWS a little better, which would take up all my HQ slots.
