This list originally had Straken in it, but after some testing I decided to just drop him in favor of a regular Company Commander, and give his CCS a static/central role in my list. Providing close-ranged QRF fucntion in conjunction with orders for my HWS's. I have decided to go with a 40man blob squad instead of a 30 as again via testing it takes dedicated effort from my opponent to take it down prior to the end of the game. I am not sure which Hell Hound variant I should go with between the Banewolf or the Hell Hound, which ever I choose would have a MM on the front, which would you go with? Other than that what do you guys think of this list?

Anyone?

I suggest this...

Drop the melta from the CCS and get a Lascannon or AC instead. With a MoO, your not moving. If you are, your wasting your MoO. I am not sure about it anyways as your risking shelling your own troops since your blob (a huge target at 40 men) is moving forward to get into CC.

I would strongly suggest meltabombs for your Sergeants in your blob, as a walker getting in CC with you takes out your entire blob with you having no chance of hurting it. If your counting on the Priest, remember he is incredibly crunchy and is a IC, so he has to be in base to base and can be targeted.

I am unsure on the role of your Lord Commissar, since your not listing what units the ICs are attached to. His best role is hanging back with your HWSs using his aura to give them Ld 10 for Orders and Morale. I can guess he is attached to the Ogryns, but it is such a pain in the ass to assault from a Chimera...

I honestly can't believe that a 40 man blob will work better than two 20 man blobs.... the moving alone should deter you from such a bulky, ponderous unit.

I also believe that Creed would make this list so much more effective, specially with two 20 man blobs and 'For Cadia!', 'Bring it Down!', 'FRF, SRF!', and 'Move!x3'
