Hi all.
This is my first tourney list and first DD post.

Its for a local club and I know I'm going against a majority of SM, CSM and crons, with a few tau, on 4x4 boards.
Lots of 3+ armoir and ap5 to deal with. Yay.

I do have a large number of units to draw upon if you think my army is well off.


Tourney rules: No characters, no fliers.


I put this together but I'm unsure its that safe for protecting troops while dishing out damage. Im investing quite a large number of points in chimeras but feel they would be useful in screening units and in getting to objectives asap.

HQ:
Tank commander in Leman russ executioner with plasma sponsons
LRBT

Priest to join scions

Troops:
Veteran squad, missile launcher, grenadiers, plasma gun, chimera
Veteran squad, missile launcher, plasma gun, chimera

What do you think?

it looks okay.
now on the veterans i would either go 3 melta or 3 plasma and well i wouldn't take a missile launcher as it makes them want to stand still. plus carpice Armour on them would be good and is rather cheaper in the new codex. the scions are okay. the bane wolf is a nice toy but i prefer the hell hound myself. but i am a pyro when it comes to my guard.

Cheers for the input dude.

I was worried about the short range of the melta and the chance of gets hot! killing them from the plasma. I'll do some shuffling around and see how it works out.

well with them being in chimera's the melta drive by works nicely which is why i run two triple melta vet squads myself. as for the triple plasma never really run it myself but i'm adding a squad to test it as triple plasma or melta is the two go to set up's for vets.

After some moving around I think this is what I'll roll with.

Cheers for the input dude.
