Hi all,

I'm new to 10th and have written up a guard list based around the models I have and what seems to be popular at the moment (I'm not overly concerned with competitive though). I'm just looking for general advice on what people would do to get under the 2000pt limit and what minor alterations they would make in regards to loadouts etc. All C&C is welcome though.

Cheers in advance!

Hey mate,
Looking good.
New points costs have just dropped so you could save a few points perhaps.
I would say, put 2 of the catachan squads in the chimeras, that will give you easy point scoring units. Blob the other 2 and you can send them forward as a screen and they'll be more worthwhile for the reinforcements strategem.
Upgrade the demolisher to a tank commander, it can still have the same gun and then it can give orders to the rogal dorn or basilisk. The demolisher special ability isn't all that amazing.

Also you probably don't need all 3 sentinels? You've only got 1 basilisk. You could have more infantry or add a dkk marshal for the points instead, kitbash the latter from whatever you have lying around.
