Trying my hand at guard and haven't played 40k since 5e, this is what I've put together for my first list.

HQ
Company command squad

Troop
Vet with 2 meltaguns
Chimera

Vet with 2 meltaguns
Chimera

Heavy Support
Leman Russ

I'm open for any feedback, this list is just the first thing I'm making while working up to a 1850 list.

needs some work in my opinion.

First question is are you planning to spend money?

If so i would recommend the following list, or something like it.

CCS - Taurox 110
Vets- 2 MG, Taurox 130
Vets- 2 MG, Taurox 130
Leman Russ Exterminator 130

500

Taurox are far superior to chineras imo. better turret weapon and reroll DT with an extra fire point as well makes it the better choice.

The exterminator at at this level with twinlinked autocannons is more than sufficient, especially with melta elsewhere in the list.

It also allows you to give a taurox to the CCS, keeping everything mobile.

If money is an issue, or you simply do not like the models etc i would look at something like this:

Lord Commisar 65
Vets- 2 MG, Chimera 145
Vets- 2 MG, Chimera 145
LR Exterminator- Heavy Stubber, Lascannon 145

500

The CCS without a transport is vulnerable. Commisar instead allows you to hide him in a chimera.

Hope this helps

Yours Aye

Get a wyvern or 2 instead of the russ.
