Hi folks, my last game of 40k was in 5th or 6th edition. What do you think about that list? Is it slightly competitive? I would like to play that as an army i can take to the game store and play any army which comes up against me without having to many issues.

Very nice, I like your army.

Only thing I can suggest, is dropping Plasma Cannons on the LRBTs and adding heavy weapons to the infantry squads. Lascannons preferably.Maybe more infantry squads if possible

Im worried mostly about the heavy bolter squad as theyll die pretty easy but thats also fire off of other squads


Another thing dakka frowns on the indivdual points values for upgrades though keeping the values for each unit as a whole shouldnt be a problem

I agree with the bloke above, posting individual points is frowned upon, and the format itself could use some tidying up.

For example:

Infantry Squad [3 PL, 50pts]
Categories: (REGIMENT), Astra Militarum, Imperium, Infantry, Infantry Squad, Troops
7x Guardsman [28pts]
Guardsman W/ Special Weapon [9pts]
Selections: Grenade Launcher [5pts]
Guardsman w/ Vox-caster [9pts]
Selections: Vox-caster [5pts]
Sergeant [4pts]
Selections: Chainsword, Laspistol

Could more easily be represented by this:

Infantry Squad - 50pts
- Grenade Launcher
- Vox Caster

I would drop all vox casters as they are usually a waste of points with Smart unit placement.

I would drop power weapons from officers. They shouldn’t be in CC.

The heavy weapon teams should not be too much a problem. You kept them armed with cheap weapons, so that they should not draw too much enemy fire. And if they do, you only loose a maximum of 42 pts.

You have the bones of a good list here, we are just arguing over the seasoning.
