In the warp, searching for Marbo

Alright, after playing my previous list against Marines, then eldar, I decided to change it up a bit.

Spoiler:


Lord Commissar (P.Fist + meltabomb)

2x MeltaVets w/chimeras

1x PlasmaVets w/chimera

3x Sentinel squads(two sentinels each) w/Lascannons (in 2nd game 1x Lascannons, 2x Lascannon + H. Flamer)

Executioner w/Heavy Bolter, Plasma Cannon sponsons, camo.


Primeris Psyker w/Force Staff

MeltaVets w/chimera

PlasmaVets w/chimera, carapace armor

Executioner w/Heavy Bolter, Plasma Cannon sponsons, camo

Exterminator w/Heavy Bolter(or flamer?), Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Basilisk.

My last army seem to hit a wall when it came to dealing with infantry. My tank in the first game was drop pod killed by Vets, but in the second game it took out a dark reaper squad (eldar, in cover) in turn one before immobilizing itself, then killing itself at turn 4. The heavy flamers on the chimera(and sentinels) didn't seem to put in enough unsaved wounds, and only my infantry seem to take out the enemy. Sadly, if they were close enough for my soldiers, then my chimeras were going to die.

I figure I'm giving up a scoring unit for more overall kill power, and to take away focus (at least some) from my executioner. I plan on keeping my vets (and everything else) on the defensive, until I have an opening to grab objectives. If it comes to kill points I'd rather draw the enemy into cross fire then out in the open. So far I've only fought against one rhino with demolisher cannon...for some reason my opponents don't take pieplates against me.

Also, this list is based on what models I have at the moment.

Thoughts?

After all these years of searching for Marbo...he found me. Heretics beware! He's back!

Have you thought of taking a punisher to deal with infantry, and possibly puting pask in it to give you the better bs.
