(I'll most likely buy a sniper or a GL for one of the HQ units with the leftover 5 points.)

What I like about this list is the amount of firepower I can cram into a 1000 point army with two Earthshakers, two Hydras, and a Leman Russ.
A bit fragile in armor rating, but lots of punch for the points.

I agree with the Che-vito, drop Straken at this level of play. Take those 5 points and put another flamer in the PCS so that you have an effective counter-attack squad. 3 flamers, auto hits, strength of a bolter is a lot for guard.

Check the price tag on the earthshaker, I think you are off. The only artillery I know of that is 75 are the Griffons, which I love! So accurate and for the same reason as the flamers, helps to make up for guard's lower BS.

The Vet squad seems to be in a mix roll with demo, ML and three flamers. If you're going for an all around unit, this is it, but you could almost chop this down and get to vet units on foot for this price. If you get rid of the voxs, you could beef up these two squads so that you are laying down more accurate fire at greater range.

Good luck.

Thanks for the good advice on dropping Straken and adding another extra flamer to the PCS.
I'll probably run another Vet Squad with the freed up points.

The Earthshakers do cost 75pts, based on the Death Krieg army. I'm using Earthshakers as I can afford to make decent proxies like this one for a fraction of a Forgeworld model kit. Same with the Hydras.
