Hi there. Need your help here. Here is my 1750 list.

HQ: CCS, Power fist, carapace, 2 plasma, vox, kell, 2 bodyguard, astropath
1 priest with eviscerator and shotgun
Elites: Marbo

Troops: PCS, Al rahem, 3 melta, vox
PIS, plasma, AC, vox
PIS, plasma, AC, vox, commissar

PCS 2, 3 flamers, vox
PIS, plasma, AC, vox
PIS, plasma, AC, vox
HWT 1 3 LC
HWT 2 3 LC
HWT 3 3 ML

Veterans, 3 plasma, sergeant with 2 plasma pistols, carapace, demolitions, vox.

Fast attack: vendetta

Heavy support: LRBT, LC, Dozer blade

HWTs are not great, I'd ditch them. Instant death from anything Str 6+, which is a lot of weapons. Fail 3 cover saves and that's a whole squad gone. People know they're squishy and will happily focus them down especially since their str6/7 can't hurt the LRBT anyway. That'll save some points.

The LRBT with a lascannon upgrade isn't a good idea either, losing Lumbering Behemoth has hurt any other weapons on LRBTs - if they fire the main gun, they have to snap fire all other weapons. 15pts for a gun that will hit once every six turns isn't cost effective.

I'm not a fan of Voxes, they are quite hefty in points costs for a reroll, and can't even be given to squads that would actually benefit (think HWTs). That's 35pts which could be saved there, which is another commissar if you're really worried about getting orders off on a squad. Remeber if you're blobbing your infantry, you only need one vox in there for it to benefit all of them.

I also dislike CC based command squads, some people make good use of them, but Rough Riders just do so much better as a counter attack unit.

Yes I need to change the LRBT LC to H.flamer.
I still like the HWTs as they still draw fire from enemies giving time for other things to survive. And they also help me achieve first blood.
I like the CC oriented CCS. Though if I drop it to minimum simple things maybe I cold fit a 2nd one in.
Do you think the vets for vendetta are overequiped?

P.S. thanks for the reply. Looking forward for more C&C.

I'm going to have to agree with the above poster about the Vox casters, Particularly if you spent the points on Kell, and have commisars.

Heavy flamers can't snap fire, you'll get even less use out of that.

First blood isn't something that HWTs can get any easier than anything else. They don't draw fire for long, they're crippled very quickly.

If you like it, take it, but it's days of being competitive have been over since 5th Ed.

I don't take demolitions, but it's a very good 30 points. It works well, and sometimes you get lucky.

I ll take the h.flamer on LRBT cause it's free. And not totally worthless if anything comes near.
I ll remove vox from most groups and maybe add other things.
