Here it is.....

HQ
Company command squad- 1xlascannon, 2xplasma guns, chimera =155p
Elites
Pysker battle squad-5+ psykers, chimera=155p
Troops
Vets1-3xmeltaguns, demolations=130p (goes in the vendatta)
Vets2-3xmeltaguns, demolations= 130p(goes in the vendatta)
Platoon
Platton command squad- 4xflamers =50p(goes in valkyrie)
Squad1-autocannon, melta gun=70p
Squad1-autocannon, melta gun=70p
Squad1-autocannon, melta gun=70p (these all combien)

Fast attack
Vendatta=130p
Vendatta=130p
Valkyrie-multi misslie pods=130p

Heavy support
Medusa=135p
Medusa=135p

= 1500p

So the main tactics will be the two medusas and two chimera at the back chimeras infront of the medusas and then the 30man blob bubble wrap it and will deal with any deep striking dreads or what evers. Will the melta vets in vendattas will do a 24inch scout move and take out most heavy/med amour , will the pcs will go grap last turn objectives in there valk.
Any comments?

With having your command squad in the valk you lose orders which can be a huge boost(making all of the 18 lasguns shoot 3 times just by passing ld?! yes please!)

and the vets will definetly deal with armor well unless you've got second turn and are going against the MSU armies that are really common. just becarefull using 2 of your 3 troops choices in that suicide manner especialy knowing they will be next to the vendetta, thats your opponent 2 highest priority targets in his lap and within assault range...

the 30 man bubble wrap is nice but without a commissar they'll fold to anything half way decent in CC. 2 10 man tac squads in drop pods could cause them to break and fold in one turn(shooting after delpoying from a drop pod can cause 14.22222 wounds with just the bolters and bolt pistols not to mention the free flamers...).

Well i say well played sir, well played if you did that to tac squad, but i can always just use first rank second rank with my company command squad, so there is too much of a problem.

I guess i just have a little jealousy of the guard there. if my command squad could make my guys pass a LD test and effectively double their damage I'd be running 30 devestators and 2 captains with command squads.

I would drop the Chimera from the CCS to give them Camo Cloaks and give the blob a Commissar.

Then I would ask why you have a PBS sitting back in a Chimera where if it gets blown up they will all die. Why not place them in cover near the CCS? Use that 55pts to get PWs and melta bombs for your blob. I would do this specially since you screwed up on the costs of your PBS... 60+50+55=165. Don't worry, you only really need 8 anyways.

I guess for me, PBS are an assault unit riding up with Melta Vets in Chimeras, not a rear camper were they can kinda be shot at will.

I'd say suck it up and drop the PBS for HWSs. Two AC HWSs is 150pts, throw that last point as a melta bomb on your blob or PCS and call it a day.
