A few months ago, I started on a journey to make a 5th Edition guard list work in 6th Edition. After quite a few games, I found the list did outstanding in many areas and didn't really lack any tools. However, with the prevalence of Daemons and the rise of Dark Angels guaranteed to be a swift kick in the nuts, I decided to make a single change and I'm wondering if you all think it is worth it.

Hmm I see what you've done here. Normally I dont use null zone on librarians, but I presume its to counter daemons so okay. The only thing I would say is that the platoon infantry squads would be better with special/heavy weapons, as they are I cant imagine them contributing much ATM. But following that your list is pretty lean and I cant really suggest anything to drop.

Yeah, the Infantry Squads used to jave the proverbial Autocannon/Plasma Combo before but in adding the Scouts and libby, I trimmed them as I found they do great either as sacrificial scoring units or as bubblewrap against Deep Striking armies (i.e. Daemons, Descent of Angels, Deathwing).
