Okay,

After playing around with some different units, and finding that certain units did not do what I expected them to do (harker) I took them out. Here is my new 2000 point list I am running at the local store league that is going on.

Commissar Yarrick
Chimera w/ multi-laser, heavy flamer, dozer blade, and extra armour: 265

Ogryn Squad: 5 total: 210

Penal Legion squad 80

Vet Squad 1: plasma pistol, plasma gun x3
Chimera w/ multi laser and heavy bolter 180

Vet Squad 2: melta gun x3
Chimera w/ heavy flamer, heavy flamer 155

Vet Squad 3: melta gun x3
Chimera w/ multi laser, heavy flamer 155

Hellhound 130

Armoured Sentinel Squadron: 2 Sentinels w/ auto cannon, HK missile 140

Armoured Sentinel w/ missile launcher 65

Hydra w/ heavy flamer and hunter killer missile 85

Demolisher w/ multi melta sponsons, heavy bolter and dozer blade 205

LRBT squadron: 2 tanks w/ lascannons 330



Yarrick and Ogryns are in a Chimera looking for a fight, that is why the dozer blade is on there. I know I will hear don't squadron things, I know the down side to that plan, however, the upside is good enough too. I had 45 points left over at the end, that is why the extra armour on Yarricks Chimera and the three hunter killer missiles. 4 troop choices at 2000 points is good.

From the old list, I took out Harker and three flamers from one vet squad, 5 ratlings, and a Lord Commissar. I think this list will run well enough. Have to keep one of the vet squads close to Yarrick for going to objectives. I was considering using cammo netting on the hydra, not sure if it is good enough. Does it give a cover save even when there is nothing to give it cover?

I'd go Lord Commissar rather than Yarrick and save some points.

Penal legion is only unit on foot - don't expect them to last very long like that.

If you drop the HK missiles and drop the missile to an autocannon you're not fat of making both those sentinel squadrons two strong. Sentinels and hydras are the only vehicles I would ever squadron. I would drop a LRBT and take a second hydra to squadron with the first.

I think that the list maybe works better at 1,750 and is struggling to fill the boots of a 2k list.

Yarrick is there with the ogryns for assaulting other units, mainly troop choices. The LC does not give the same abilities in close combat that yarrick does. I know what the penal legion does, they usualy sit on an objective and do well enough. This is the main list with small tweeking from my previous list at 2000, and that list worked well.
