You must have commisars in the blobs or they will get swept...resolve that and then try again...good luck...

Well, I don't see it as a good list. I wouldn't run it and I kinda find it hard to believe this is considered good enough for a tourney.

Sure, ou have 6 LCs from 6 sources, which is fine, but they are BS 3 shots. Even a LC HWS with BS 3 has at least a volley going out at one target, and Orders to make them even more deadly. You don't even have this as your kinda throwing away Orders too.

The big problem is that 3 wounds to a squad and they are running, taking their expensive toys with them (over half the squad's value I will point out). Pie plates and blast marker heavy lists will crush a list like this, leaving you with no scoring units.

This kind of list is usally refered to as a 'speed bump' list, as your hoping to slow down the enemy some with 10 man squads. I rather make my guys effective and attempt to win then throw them away in a desperate attempt to not lose.

Read up on the Order rules for IG, specially for the CCS. Then ask yourself if you want to issue 4 Orders a turn. If yes, look at Creed. You want heavy weapons for popping AV 14? Get LC HWSs for 105pts, up to 5 per Platoon. Yeah, 30 Lascannons at 10 targets a turn for 1050pts. Would I do this? Hell no. I want guts to my list to make it effective and survivable. Power blobs with melta guns and melta bombs and a Commissar (with PW) per blob. ACs for PIS/PCS units and then fill out the rest with HWSs.


LRBTs are not really AV 14 'spam'. I will point out Chaos marines can throw out 6 LRs and I have seen alot of Ork Battlewagon lists with 5-6 wagons. These work because they also carry the troops.
Besides, you have two short range Demolishers squadroned up. These are attacking tanks, not ones that sit back. Just...just read the squadron rules in the BRB... it just makes it not worth it. Executioners are fine, but Plasma is limited AV and sponsons mean your not moving, otherwise your wasting 60pts a tank. The other drawback is the scatter, making them just not very reliable in hitting (instead of 50% due to BS 3, your now 33% due to using the scatter dice to hit).

If you actually /hit/ with all your LCs and actually do real damage, sure, this list could work. But your AT capabilities are just not good enough to stop other mech lists, much less real gunline lists. DS lists would be hit or miss against it, hoard lists can still overwhelm it.
