After a long hiatus from 40k, I've decided to give my Guard another try. i know that they are set for an update in March, so this list will probably be tweaked depending on what major changes occur.

HQ:

CCS
Power Weapon, vox, 3x plasma guns

TROOPS:

PCS
Vox, flamer, Autocannon

IS
vox, flamer, autocannon

IS
vox, flamer, autocannon

HWS, Mortars

Vet Squad
Vox, 3x Melta

Vet Squad
Vox, 3x Melta

2x Chimera, pintle stubbers

HEAVY:

2x Leman Russ

TOTAL: 1000

Now the basic idea is for the Platoon to hold backfield objectives and send out the vet squads in Chimeras to go forward tank hunting and possibly grab some forward objectives. All the while the two russes blast away. How useful are voxes? If I dropped those, i could free up 30pts to play with, I was thinking of adding a MoO with those points if the common consensus on vox casters are not good. Also I was thinking of swapping the plasma/ vox out in the CCS for two Lascannons to add some more MC/Tank killing power.

Thoughts?

I'd drop flamers, stubbers from rhinos and take some better tanks - probably demolisher + eradicator.

I'd go exterminator, it's very versatile and destructive to many different things with side HB. I might also be suggesting this cause I love them.

Should I switch both battle tanks to Exterminators? Or leave one vanilla?

In my opinion change one to an exterminator and one to an executioner/demolisher unless your facing a MEQ army, in which case a vanilla LRBT is a great choise for killing out of cover MEQs also I don't think you will need a PW on the CCS as they should be sniping things whilst in cover. Also if your taking a plasma CCS then the med kit guy is a great option if a bit expensive.
