hello

see if anyone can see any improvements on this list as im still a little new to playing guard, im also 10 pts over and i dont like the idea of been over as i see its cheating.

so i think i either have to drop the PW on the commissar or the company commander and i dont know which one. commander has one more attack so i get more out of the power weapon but i dont want him getting into CC. commissar will be more likely use the PW but has less attacks. i know running them with a power axe is a better idea but both minis have been modeled with PW so i want to stick with what they have on them. my other idea is run both the commander and commissar with no upgrades and drop the Ratlings. give the a chimera Company Command Squad a little for protection or if night fighting is in affect run the chimera with no one in it as far up the board as i can get it use its search light on the biggest target and therefor i can shoot my army on that target while keeping my distance. or get a aegis defense line so slow down the blob dying.

other then that i think i have most things covered in this army list. but i think in CC the army will be weak but with the fire power and the big blog i can minimize that and on victory points i feel like i will be giving to many kill points on the table top with the amount of heavy support and troops.

game plan is that the blob dies while protecting tanks, holding objectives and forcing as many saves on the enemy. the tanks kill stuff which will slow down the blob dying. melta vet in flyers either holds objective or take down some tanks, plasma vets same but can go after heavier armored troopers or light tanks. flyers kill flyers and tanks.
