I have had the new codex for a good 2 weeks now and have been tinkering with some 1850 lists since thats what my friends and I usually play. The following list uses pretty much all my models and it uses up all the tanks that i own, however proxying is very accepted within my gaming group however i still try to use only models that I have.

Anyways here is the list, please tell me what you guys think and maybe how I could improve it.

This list is more towards the side of casual competition, so while i want to do good with it, it's not going to be used for tournies or against many spam or cheese lists.

Also any tactic suggestions would be great too!

Tank Commander - 190
Punisher w/ side HB

Eradicator - 140
Side HB

Vets - 86

2 x flamer

Vets - 105

Valkyrie - 135
Rocket Pods

Platoon Command - 50
4 x GL

Infantry Squad 1 - 55
flamer

Infantry Squad 2 - 55
flamer

Conscripts x 42 - 126

Wyrdvan Psykers x 5 - 125
Chimera w/ ML/HF

Primaris Psyker - 50

ADL w/Quad - 100

So the idea is that the primaris will go with conscripts to cast divination (unless he gets 3 on divination, can't remember what its called.)
The wyrdvan psyers will likely prescience the tank commander. Both regular infantry squads will be in reserve so they can come on mid-game and help with any obj capturing or dealing with enemies who may happen to be in my deployment zone. Everything else will be on the field with the Manticore getting the best LOS block and the regular Leman Russ and Wyvern sitting behind the ADL with likely the PCS and 1 vet squad.

The conscripts will obviously move forward, hopefully getting first rank, second rank fire with prescience to unload a lot of dama, they will also draw a lot of heat and might be able to tie an important unit up. My Tank Commander will likely split fire if in cover, if not he will most likely use the shoot and smoke command.

What is everyone's thoughts?

If you are really interested in using snipers, seriously consider Ratlings instead of Vets. For 10 points each up to 10 models per unit, you can get BS4 snipers with Stealth, Infiltrate, and Shoot Sharp and Scarper.

Thanks Rintor for the feedback, however the main reason i'm using the snipers on the vets is for the extra range they then receive. I want to keep using the vets because they are scoring unnits and good ones for sitting on my deployment zone objectives in cover, this would make most the extra rukles ratlings get kind of useless. I just tend to stay away from elites besides the wyrdvane psyker squad in the new codex, but I want to keep me army heavy on the troops

Im a big fan of the sniper vets the do good work. The things I would loomk at is you have flamers on bs4 models and grenades on bs3. Vets in Chimera like with 2x melta/Plas and a heavy flamer. I'm not a fan or the wydvan I think the primus are better (and there good to make level 2) drop them take another primus and take pask maybe

Sorry, ignore my previous comment. I've been misreading the rule regarding heavy flamers.
