Okay, there is a tourney here at the end of the month. The rules are that you can have two different armies from the same codex. Also, you must have 1 HQ, 2 troops, and can only have 1 choice for elites, fast attack, and heavy support. So, here is my current list:

Lord Commissar: power weapon/ plasma pistol/ carapace armor/ melta bomb (1)

Vet Squad: melta gun x3/ shotguns x6/ carapace armor (10)
Chimera: hull flamer/ multi laser (1)

Penal Legion Squad: (10)

Storm Troopers: flamer x1 (5)

Armor Sentinel w/ auto cannon (1)

Manticore w/ cammo netting (1)

or:

Lord Commissar: Carapace/plasma pistol/ melta bomb (1)

Vet Squad: Melta gun x3/ shotguns x6/ carapace armor (10)
chimera: hull flamer/ multi laser (1)

Penal Legion Squad (10)
Penal Legion Squad (10)

Hellhound w/ hull flamer (1)
Manticore w/ cammo netting (1)


The Lord Commissar will ride with the vets. Not sure about what the scenarios will be, but, there are going to be five rounds, so, quick games. The carapace armor is there to keep the vets alive a bit better when the chimera explodes, usually does each game and I lose half of the squad. So, that is why the carapace armor in each list. I know, its points spent elsewhere, but, with the restrictions, I doubt it hurts. Maybe one list give them demolitions.

Let me know what you think.

Man... I don't know about either of these lists. Kinda looks like a mess to me...

Why don't you make a Mech list and a foot list...

This would only work if you put both LRBTs in a squadron, which isn't a very good idea IMO. Maybe the 150 points from dropping one could be better served in the form of another Melta-Vet Chimera Squad, or a Vendetta and some upgrades elsewhere.
