The Battle Plan

Gunline (Platoon 1) holds the home objective with Veteran Squad 2 as the counter attack force for the deep strikers. CCS holds base with them along with Platoon 1 Command. Ratlings deployed wherever.

Flankers (Squad 2) attack from the side ~2-3.

Storm Troopers and Marbo deploy behind the enemy lines and cause distruptions as the meat shield (Platoon 3) moves up, broken down into a 30 man blob w/ Commisar and a 20 man blob, with the command following behind them.

Any comments or critiques more than welcome. Thanks!

My suggestions would be to drop the Ratlings, as they won't do much, except give away first blood every other game. Drop Platoon 1 PCS power sword, as you'll be rapid firing the plasma every turn, and anything charging them is likely to take out the squad before you get to swing.
I would also drop/swap the missile launchers from Platoon 2 - if you're going to take heavy weapons, either autocannons for rate of fire/ decent strength or lascannons for high strength/ap2. I would probably go with either none, or autocannons as they're cheaper meaning you'll have more of your stuff on the table at the start.

I would then reinvest the points saved into another Commissar for Platoon 3 - the blob should stay on the table longer and gives you more flexibility in deployment.

Another option is to drop the second vet squad for another CCS. You can get another identical one, or fill with plasma, or add an Astropath to help Platoon 2.

Hope this helps.

With the information you given me, heres what Im now thinking.

- Remove the Power Sword (was already modeled on and painted blue, but can call it a reg ccw)

- Dropped the Ratlings

- Dropped the Missile Launchers

by doing so, I have freed up 125 points. Now, by doing so, I can then take another Commissar for the blob squad. If I drop a flamer, I can get an aegis to with an Incarius Cannon to even out the list. Any thoughts on that?

Also, instead of flamers on the outflank, meltas? or stick to flamers. the Commissar is a given.

try a ten man stormy squad with flamers if you can find the points and i think you will like what they can do

You should check out Ailaros' batreps concerning foot guard
It's not pretty

The conclusion is that swaming guard is pretty ineffectual. You have zero armour, not even a chimera. You will have next to zero killing power once an enemy gets his mits on you.

My advice is get some Russes, some artillery and some chimeras to protect your vets. Flyers are a great addition, but not necessary (despite the fact they're incredibly strong).
Foot guard is squishy, foot guard doesn't out shoot so dramatically as it used to and foot guard is annoying to put away after the fight.

P.S. those power weapons won't help you win a fight, but an autocannon for the same points cost could pop a rhino and allow you to FRFSRF down the squad inside.
