Hey all,

Rip it apart dakka. I want the most highly concentrated list (while still being relatively comp-friendly) a tourny will throw at me.

Chuck

Lose the Power fist +20
Lose the Power weapon +5
Lose the smoke +15
Lose 2 Plasma Guns from the CHQ and PHQ +40
Lose the Honorifica +25

We just cut 105 pts of fat off your list.

I am a fan of Plasma, so good choices there.

With that 105 pts, we're going to add indirect to your Bassy. -25

For the last 80 pts, you have several options.

1) Add Drop Troop Doctrine and make a 75 point Vet suicide sqd w/ Plasma OR Melta

2) Add RR Doctrine and get yourself some horsies.

3) Add Chamelioline (SP) Doctrine and gain +1 cover SV

4) Upgrade atleast some of your ML to LC's. Remember, the Vehicles should deal with troops and Sqds should deal with Vehicles.

Once you cut the fat off your boys, there are plenty of things you can do. Personally, I'd go with the DT Vets w/ Meltas. I'm a big fan of dropping in and molesting their tanks.

Let me just say right off the bat, I have always been a fan of the IG, and think they get shafted in tournament settings.

The mech force is good, with the adjustments flagg suggested, with one question that may not have occured to you yet ( if you havent fielded it):

Where are you going to deploy twelve tanks?

Seriously, this is my mech list:

HQ:
Junior Officer, 2x Laspistol CCW, 1x Lascannon
Chimera (HB, XArmor)

Fire Support
3x Heavy Bolter
Chimera (HB, XArmor)

Platoon HQ
Junior Officer, 2xLasgun, 1x Lacannon
Chimera (HB,Xarmor)

Squad 1:
Vet Sgt w/Meltabomb, 1x GL, 1x Missile (Steel Legion boxed set)
Chimera (HB, XArmor)

Squad 2:
Vet Sgt w/Meltabomb, 1x GL, 1x Missile (Steel Legion boxed set)
Chimera (HB, XArmor)

Armored Fist:
Vet Sgt w/Meltabomb, 1x Plasma, 1x Missile
Chimera (Hvy Flamer, XArmor)

Hellhound (Smoke Launcher, XArmor, Spotlight)

Hellhound (Smoke Launcher, XArmor, Spotlight)

Leman Russ (Sponson HB, Lascannon, XArmor)

Leman Russ (Sponson HB, Lascannon, XArmor)

Or something similar....that's 10 tanks.

Every time we run a regulation tourney scenario on a 6'x4' table, I get a traffic jam. Half of your tracks will cut LOS to the other half. He gets lucky and kills a few hulls in place (no annihilations), and your guns wont get a look at that uber HTH squad until it's on top of you. If you try to sread out, you will lower your shooting to nothing on those critical first 1 or 2 turns. And dont try to be too aggressive either...if the chimera dies, an entangled IG squad is worse than useless.

If you want to take the mech force, include some mortar teams as fire support and take indirect Basilisks as your Heavy Support. Let HIM suck on no LOS for a change... Use the empty chimeras as gun platforms until they die, and then blocking terrain after. I use two griffons to proxy cuz Im too cheap to buy Basilisks, and I keep the hellhounds around because the *excel* at killing speeders. Open topped for two hits, and you can catch 2-3 at a time cuz they dont block LOS to each other. Blammo. Ask others how prevalent speeders are these days.
