So, first turn I camp behind the aegis and laugh as my opponents try to kill 2+ save guardsmen. Second turn, demolishers outflank and wreck the opponent's backfield while vendettas drop off meltavets and pop anything scary. I'm taking the comms and astropath to guarantee turn two reserves. My meta includes necrons, orks, space puppies, grey knights, possibly tau, sisters, and demons.

Criticism and feedback makes me happy.

Someone who knows something about real world tactics , I guess 3 tanks is an anvil there firepower says so

PCS with mortar in a chimera, wouldn't if be better if you give them something more useful ?

The problem with this list is deep striking stuff, drop pods, demons yep demons. A rear guard of hellhounds or banewolfs
can remove those pesky deep strike units.

Or plasma up the CCS and PCS to deal with deep strikers.

A demolisher squadron has to target the same thing. That thing will end up being very dead. But it is still only one thing. Can Creed infiltrate more than one unit for you and split up the squadron?

I think he has enough firepower if they deep strike close enough to do anything with his FRFSRF on 32 Guardsmen with the rest firing their autocannons and grenades.

Creed can only outflank one squad IIRC

I agree that the mortar should be swapped for something but I have no idea as to what besides a grenade launcher

He said there is 3 squadrons and if you add the points it's just three seperate tanks that can shoot different things

Actually I think he has the 3 demos all in in one squad

Creed can only do the one unit, so pretty much whatever you outflank will be targeting the one squad. Unless you have another IC in the squad outflanking and detach it, shoot a pistol at someone else.

Do you really need a coms and an astropath. Why not ditch the coms, chuck an icarus on for creed to chill on. You don't always want all your reserves to definitely come in on turn 2. If you go second, and their fliers fail to show up but yours do, that kinda sucks. May be worth considering swapping one vets squad meltas for flamers. Unless of course everyone runs straight land raider armies in your neck of the woods.

If your attack is going too well, you have walked into an ambush

He can only outflank one. And just use them as LR hunters or WK hunters or any other big boy hunters

what if you took 2 of the demolishers are your outflank squad (that still would probably be enough to make something dead right?)

then took your 3rd tank and put him as your anchor to your infantry line for deep strikers? the executioner has a 36" range so can still support your hammer but also acts a deterrent if he is parked near your table edge. either your opponent plays at luck to not scatter off the board to deal with the tank or deals with the might of the tank if he tries to put a beatdown on your infantry. The LR punisher could also do the job too.
