How does it look so far? Comments and criticism is appreciated.

You can only replace two vets with a heavy weapons squad, so the list is illegal.

However, if you're interested in Lascannon spam, there's a series of batreps where the IG player does something along those lines, to good results. His reasoning is that you have enough lasgun shots in blobs to deal with hordes, so you can just give them meltaguns and lascannons to deal with everything else. He tries a bunch of different strategies, there's about 50 battlereports, but they're still all interesting.

"Replace two Veterans with a Veteran Weapons Team."
^ Directly from the codex.

Does that mean that I'm only allowed to replace the two in the squad? Not anymore than that?

Perhaps I'll check the faqs.. haven't given it much thought till now..

Why list tailoring?

Nothing can take more than one heavy weapons team except for the Heavy Weapons Squad. If the options call out a specific number of guardsmen, you can only do that once. If it says "any" or "any remaining," then you can go wild.

Yep its illegal, 1 hwt per squad unless its a hws where you have 3 of them.
