Fast Attack: 2 Vendettas - 260 Points


1500 Exactly!

Ok so bare min for a platoon is:
1 Platoon command squad
2 infantry squads

I say this because i cant tell what you have going on in your list, you should organize it i bit better. Do you even have any platoon command squads?
Veteran squads are troops of their own and dont form a platoon.
Your HQ choice is actually 180 pts excluding the commissar.
If platoon #2 is a platoon, it is illegal as you need 1 pcs and 2 ionfantry squads
Also if you ad your list up its 1510

I play mech IG and i feel camo netting is trash on LRBT of any varient. I would probably drop the netting and turn those russes in a different varient cause the basic one i feel isnt worth it, russes need to be special.

So yeah, biggest thing is redo the format of your list so its easier to read, then you will probably get better comments on it as people will be able to understand it. Look at other lists on dakka to see how to format it.

So.....From what i have seen you have no theme for your army.

If you are going for a gun line you need first of all an agies defense line (duh), many many squads of guardsmend to objective camp behind the line, heavy wepon squads autocannons are best IMO, for hq i like a CCS with MotO,and have all vets with plasmas and a lord commisar for the 6" Ld10 bubble.

For tanks i like basic russ because it gives you templates at 72", other good choices are the hydra for AA, manticor for AV, hoards, and the demolisher because it kills stuff.
