I recognise that guard are getting changed/updated very soon. For the sake of this army list please assume guard are in the prime of their Sixth edition life. I just want opinions.
Before I Write my list down First of all note:
The army is for fun.
It's an escallation league.
The army was designed to be an enjoyable painting experience (camo netting, dude.)
Yes, I know that sentinels are awful.
CCS:
4x MG
OotF
Camo Cloaks
Chimera with Camo netting
215 points
6x 10 vets with 3x meltaguns each.
Forward sentries on everyone
6x Chimera with Camo netting (ML HB)
1230 points
3x 3x Sentinels with ML and Camo netting
405 points
1850 all up.
From my perspective, it's a pretty solid list. IT won't roll with top tier armies, but this army was never meant to go toe to toe with o'vesa star or daemon rush. My opponents are running Possessed (like 30 of them), DA with DWknights and I'm not sure what our xenos player is using.
For an understanding of what the theme is, by the way, the entire army is meant to be a reconnaisance in force. Everything is accustomed to being hidden in terrain until the enemy sees them.
So thoughs? Will it roll as a fun list? Will it get rolled every game?
Post note:
I know Camo netting is becoming 15 ppm and I'm expecting a 5 pt drop in price for chimeras and a 20 point drop for veterans (not from 70 to 50, from 130 for what I've taken to about 110.
Considering this, I'm expecting the price of my army to become about 1705 - 145 points deficit ( camo netting +5 points for sentinels but -5 points on sentinel price, -5 points on chimeras and -5 points for camo netting on chimeras, and -10 points for veterans and -10 points for forward sentries doctrine. Does this sound about right?
