Hi.

Soon to be playing in a tournament with 600pts, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Ummmmm anything works at that point level for guard. Mech can work, infantry spam can work...Not sure what you're looking for

DKoK siege regiment:

HQ: commissar, bolter
Troops: 2x engineers with grenade launchers
Lord of War: Doomhammer

Put everything in the tank and drive around laughing as nobody can deal with a superheavy in a 600 point game.

IG have 2 real advantages in low-point games: the ability to out-horde almost anything, and access to relatively cheap AV14.

Something like this could work:

Primaris: 70 (roll on Biomancy)

PCS: 30
2x PIS with flamer: 110

PCS: 30
2xPIS with melta: 120

Leman Russ exterminator, 3x HB:170

and 60 points left for more upgrades to Infantry squads. Maybe throw in an autocannon in each PIS or a couple of Lascannons, or some flamers for the PCS.

This gives you good numbers, a decent number of special weapons depending on loadouts, and a pretty fearsome AV14 dakkatank.

That looks good.Maybe trade a single plasma gun in for a melta and get marbo.

platoon of 50 with 5 power axes - 330
Inquisitor Coteaz - 100
lord comissar with power fist and camo cloak 95
veterans squad + 1 flamer + 75

= 600

Just make sure to turn down any challenges that come your way

Marbo, for 65pts he,s a steal, his demo charge can make a nice big hole into the enemy's forces and if you're lucky enough to have him live another round, he can still make some damage with his pistol and a good charge.

In a 600 pt game, his one hit can wipe out a HUGE chunk of your enemy. In 1850 pt game, his is not that much of a game breaker. In 600, I would say he is a must have and listen to others whine and complain about cheese.
Thats why I suggested adding him into that first given list.

I actually always use Marbo, really I start with him and then I make my list. Like said, he won't horribling cripple your opponent in a 1.5K+ game, but he'll still be able to do kill something big and draw attention from your main line.
