Hey so i've recently gotten back into the Hobby and currently have a few 7th edition matches under my belt. Just bought a few more models and this is basically 2000 points of everything i have. Any suggestions would be helpful. I also have several other leman russ turrets and sponsons i can swap out. Also keep in mind i have some extra guardsmen with flamers, grenade launchers, and plasma's i could incorporate. But here is what I have so far.

just because i have the models... i dont have a third sniper.

SWS are generally considered not worth it. they are too fragile and unreliable with BS3. The only upside is they are cheap...but they rarely get anything accomplished. You could just run more vets/platoons.

Some Vox casters could be useful.

Plasma vets are always good.

Scions are currently too expensive to see much play time. The most common use for them is a 5man squad with 2 meltas to DS and pop a tank then die.

The next thing to buy is wyvren. So good for the point cost.

I prefer ratlings for snipers. they are 3 points more than a SWS sniper but they are BS4 with stealth and infiltrate. And a super cheap unit to infiltrate onto an objective, and surprisingly mobile for a sniper with the shoot then run special rule.
