Hi guys so I'm playing a friends IG army soon, we are going to go vehicle heavy for a bit of fun. Bulk tanks vs floating doom. I was wondering on the matchup and how fair of a game it will be. I know roughly what he is taking, but not exactly. What I wanna know is if my list is too strong/face stompy. I've never played guard before so have no point of reference.

My list
1x CCB w/ tesla cannon, phase shifter, nightmare shroud, phylactery and a warscythe.
10x Warriors - GA
10x Warriors - GA
4x Tomb blades w/ vanes & scopes
4x Tomb blades w/ vanes & scopes
3x Tomb blades w/ vanes & scopes
1x Monolith
1x Doom scythe
1x Tesseract vault

We have talked, it's going to be purge the alien as I have a lot more board control for it to be fair otherwise. He is happy to face a LoW and a flyer.

His list is:
IG
4x tanks
2x artillery
2x vet squads

SM allies
1x Tank
1x Dreadnaught
1x HQ
1x scout squad

The only other vehicle I have is a stalker, which doesn't synergies with my list but I'll add it in in place of some blades if it's evens it out a bit

I would take out the doom scythe and run a reclamation legion and decurion instead. You'll need to buy some immortals and have some left over for gear and boost to numbers.

A Decurion would make this list weaker? Or won't a CAD won't cut it against IG? I'm not looking for the most competitive list, and I want as little bodies on the field as possible, max vehicles sorta thing

Here's an idea to try:

1845
HQ: Catacomb Command Barge
-Warscythe
-Phase Shifter
-Gauntlet of Fire
-Phylactery

Elite: Triarch Stalker
-Heavy Gauss Cannon

Elite: Triarch Stalker
-Heavy Gauss Cannon

Elite: Triarch Stalker
-Heavy Gauss Cannon

Troop: 10 Warriors
-Ghost Ark

Troop: 10 Warriors
-Ghost Ark

Troop: 10 Warriors
-Ghost Ark

Heavy: Annihilation Barge

[[Annihilation Nexus]]
-Annihilation Barge
-Annihilation Barge
-Doomsday Ark

This has only 30 troops with 11 vehicles all being 13 AV. Granted this might not be the best idea for a friendly game. I have yet to actually try this on the table but if you're looking for vehicles friendly this is just a thought I've been wanting to try recently.

Yea this list sounds good, however I don't have that many GA/DA/TS/AB's :(
