So, i have unti tomorrow to change my list for the tourny I was running 5 vangaurd vets with JP's and three meltas power axe on sarg but otherwise standard, comes in at 180pts, the price of a 10 man tac squad. My plan for them was to deepstrike using DOA and attack tanks or devi squads and tie them up, against say 5 marines or even 10 they should do ok on the charge but aftewards they suck a little. I also have 6 sternguard in a drop pod with 4 combi meltas for tank popping.

Against horde of necrons I just couldnt kill enough to run them down using the charge from the Vanguard and a few sternguard which was charged by said horde, last night I attacked some warp talons which had deepstruck in my deployment, killed two from the combat squad which shot them then they charged and killed another, my vanguard charged and killed another leaving only 1 (their sarg issued a challenge to my combat squad sarg) rolled for my vanguard sarg with power axe, 2 hit and then rolled snake eyes!. In other words not really sold on them.

Troop wise I have two full tac squads, and a 5 man scout squad with snipers. By dropping the vanguard I can drop the scouts boost the devi squad to 10men and add a full 10 man tac squad to it, Reckon they would be better?

Aegis Defence Line with Quad gun, 100pts

List looks very solid I would say lose the vanguard and take another tactical squad instead, your gonna need as many boots on the field that can score as possible, Flamer and missile of course and you can give your seargent a combi

Thanks Riddick, I think its going to have more benefits dropping the vanguard and scouts and having 10man tac and extra 5 men for the devi squads my pskyer will be with them for divination powers and maybe a sang priest, all behind the aegis.

i have anti tank in my Storm raven with lascannns and multimeltas and both have hellstrikes, have 4 combi meltas in my sternguard squad and have plently of krak missiles, so I could do without the melta bombs

Done, swapped out the vanguard and scouts adding in a 10man tac squad with multi melta and melta gun, 3 marines to the devistator squad for meat shields and gave each tac sarg a combi weapon and melta on one squad and plasma gun on the other tac squad
