So I was looking at a drop list(I already have space wolves so dont make that suggestion! lol) and I thought about trying the Crimson fists for a run, if it doesnt work I will probably try to just go with imperial fists and see what I can do with them.

So heres the list: the Crimson Fists are where Im unsure of and am wondering if its right

Crimson Fist allies:

Kantor Pedro(rides with stern guard)

Tactical squad (Drops in and combat squads so the combi and melta gun can run around and the MM can sit still)
10 man
combi melta
melta gun
MM Pod

Tactical squad (will probably combat squad so there are more individual units on my opponents side of the table)
10 man
combi plasma
plasma gun
pod

Stern guard
just the 5 guys
heavy flamer
x2 combi meltas(had extra 20pts, figured if infantry heavy use special ammunition, if mech heavy use melta to pop tin cans open)

Imperial Guard Primary

CCS
Chimera
x4 plasma guns

Vets
x3 plasma
chimera

Vets
x3 plasma
chimera

Vanquisher
pask
LC/PC

Eradicator
Heavy Bolter sponsons

LRBT

Vendetta

Its rather light on troops but I hope with the individual squads and mechanized heavy support charge I will be able to overwhelm my opponent.

Comments are needed!!!!!

How many points is all of this ? 2 of your pods can come down turn one thanks to drop pods assault.
Is it a vanquisher and eradicator and LRBT ? or just those 2 ?
Never used an Eradicator always thought they might be good.

Seems like it could work, could try to take combi grav on stern as well.

I'd drop the MM in the tact squad they snap fire when landing waste of points IMO take a combi in stern

Its at 2k points

Theres 3 heavies in the list, a standard LRBT, an eradicator(for the pesky units that love cover and for horde) and then theres the heavy hitting vanq with pask.

I may try the combi grav out on the stern to possibly get rid of monstrous creatures early.

The MM would snap fire the turn the squad drops down but they will also be combat squaded and the hald that has just the MM will just be sitting still firing it off. On the first turn 2 of my pods will drop down and that will either be 4, 5 man marine squads or 3, 5 squads, well Kantor will make one of those 6man

Thanks for the reply!

I believe with allies you only need 1 troop?

If so replace your second squad of marines with more sternguard, and buff up the squads to what you can.

They count as scoring and squads of ten can spit apart for more scoring units.

I could but I need the 3rd pod so that I can get 2 pods turn 1. Also I am lacking troops so the extra tacticals is very helpful, if I did drop a tactical squad and increased the stern guard what would you do to get a 3rd pod in?

Any other recommendations?
