Hello Guys and Girls, I been looking at my astra militarum lists again and thought of this?

Only listed upgrades i have paid for in brackets, rest of the wargear is as standard for the codex.
Any comments or improvements i can do to make it more competitive?

Unbound? where are those LR belong to?

The two formations are good, generally speaking I suggest consolidate same special weapons into same squad, i.e. one squad has 3 melta, one with 3 plasma, etc..
Also, can your hellhound squadron be Devil Dogs? If your artilery get the "ignore cover" covered, then it is better for the rest to concentrate on AP1 / 2 and anti AV13/14.

Yes Unbound and the Leman Russ Squad is just point filler. banewolfs is nice for template ap3 wounding on poisoned

Drop the Recovery Gears to get Dozer Blades. If you're not taking dozer blades then you don't have vehicles on the table.

From my experience with Chimeras replacing the hull HB with HFs is often better over the course of a game for a ton of reasons. The multilaser in the turret is generally better too.

Mixing special weapons like that will cause your vets to have targeting schizophrenia, keep them focused on a target type.

As cool as a Bane Wolf looks on paper it will die either before it shoots or the turn after, the only exception being if you're playing against deep striking power armour then park it in defense to counter charge. Go regular Hellhound for all other situations, it'll probably shoot twice before it dies.

The CCS in the artillery company would probably be better served by swapping the Melta gun for an Autocannon and where's the 10point pimp cane? that let's your artillery pass orders on a 9 or 10 (I can't remember right now)
