Hey guys Im going to a Tournament soon and was thinking of bring this as My list for Guard.

Troops

Infantry Platoon ( 485 pts)

Platoon Command squad (45 pts)
1 flamer
1 autocannon

4 x 10 infantry squad 110pts (440 total)
1 flamer
1 Autocannon
1 Comissar + Power Axe

Infantry Platoon ( 490 pts)

Platoon Command squad (45 pts)
2 flamer
1 autocannon

4 x 10 infantry squad 110pts (440 total)
1 flamer
1 Autocannon
1 Comissar + Power Axe

HQ
Company Command Squad (7#, 235 pts)
1 Flamer
1 Autocannon
1 Regimental Standard
1 Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken,
1 Master of Ordnance,
1 Officer of the Fleet,

Heavy Support

1 Leman Russ Battle Tank, 150 pts

1 Leman Russ Demolisher, 175 pts
+ Heavy Stubber

1 Leman Russ Battle Tank, 150 pts

Elite

1 Guardsman Marbo, 65 pts

Fortification: Aegis Defence line, 100 pts
+ Quad gun

So the Idea is that I group together 4 squads together into one big 40man squad that all are stubborn x2 (done for both platoons) and they will get counter attack and furious charge from commander straken. and basically sit there and shoot the enemy (like all IG armies) and if they try to charge me then I they have a feth load of snap shots to take before they damage me. leman russ will take down any threats (long fangs tanks what not) and demolisher will take down termies and alike along with the Fantastic Marbo. Il have my fortification to help me take care of there flyers if need be.

So what do you guys think is there any armies i should suffer against?

I think the reason this has no replies is because it's horrible to read. It also breaks the army list forum rules - do not post all the points costs. It's obnoxious, and not needed. Try editing this list so it's simpler to read.

Foot guard isn't having a fantastic time in this edition. They're extremely squishy and don't put out a lot of fire power compared to their veteran alternatives inside a metal box with wheels.

The demolisher is not cost effective any more. 165pts for a single 24" shot (since trust me, people are going to shot the crap out of this as it's your only ap2) isn't worth it.

I really don't see the point in Straken - you even said you're going to wait until you get charged and hope for 6s to help. The CCS also has a MoO and an autocannon which require standing still for use. Straken feels like a waste.

I honestly think you'll suffer against anything with 2+ armor due to the massive lack of ap2. People are taking 2+ "tank characters" which sit at the front of squads and just eat all the shooting with their decent save.

Your manoeuvrability is lacking. You have scoring units, but they're either big old blobs that do best stationary, or small 5man units which will be blasted off forward objectives.
Your anti-tank is lacking. This is where I plug vendettas and veterans with meltas (not everyone can afford them so it's not a big deal). You could try a "Paskquisher" throw Pask in a Vanquisher with a couple of upgrades and you're looking at a BS:4 Str:9 72" melta gun. Incredible, but a points sink - it will eat enemy tanks though, land raiders will be terrified, especially if you leave it behind the ADL. You could also throw some multi-meltas on an Exterminator and push forward with it, again enemy armor will avoid this. I prefer them with HBs for 13 shots per turn, but that's more of a transport popper.

I recommend some fliers (if you have any) or at least chimeras with some vets to capture or contest forward objectives. Also the leman russ ordnance is pretty weak right now, the executioner is a favorite of mine, and would really help with your lack of ap2. It's not that the vanilla Russ sucks, it's that you get more bang for your buck with those that let you shoot sponsons.

Marbo is great though XD
