Please move to 40k Army lists (My computor will only let me post on that forum in reply)

This is the rough draft of my Guard army, I want to change it up loads, but I have to start somewhere: <?

Doctrines

Grenadears, Rough Riders, Close Order Drill

HQ

Command Squad 40 pts

(This squads job is to stay out of sight and bunch up using close order drill for Leadership 9.)

Junior officer w/ lasgun

4 men w/ lasguns

2x Anti tank squad 95 pts ea

(for fire support vs light infantry in frag or heavy infantry or medium armor in krak)

3x missile launchers

Elites

(No Elites so far)

Troops

4x Storm Trooper Squad 108 pts ea

(these guys are the main objective takers)

Sergeant w/ hell pistol and sword

8 troopers 1w plasma gun 1w grenade launcher

Fast Attack

2x Rough Rider Squad 119 pts ea

(counter attack + minor anti tank+5th-6th turn objective grabbing)

sergeant w/ power weapon + laspistol

8 riders w lances

frag grenades

Heavy Support

3x Demolisher 200 pts ea

(Heavy anti tank, anti Big Guy)

Multi Melta side sponsens, lascannon hull, difficult terrain equipment

Total 1500

A few things I am thinking ?

Should I take out the missile launchers and add somthing better, they seem mediocre at best?

What is to be said for rough riders without lances, and instead swords and pistols, that way they can fight for more then one round?

Should I put special weapons in my rough rider squads and if so melta guns or Flamers?

How should I upgrade my command squad? Should I do a buffed up assault squad to finish what the rough riders start?

(also a rules question, (ill post in you make the call if there?s any disagreement): does lance + pistol or lance + ccw = +1 close combat attack bonus?)

There is a lot of room for improvement, all suggestions appreciated.

I read through alot of the old army lists and had a complete change in direction (none of the models are purchased yet) Problem is it's to large of a force for 1500 so I need to trim it down, but I cant for the life of me decide what has to go, and what can stay. Heres the list without anything being cut.

HQ

Comand squad 61 pts

junior officer w/ lasgun

4 men 1 standard bearer 1 w/ heavy bolter

- Anti tank squad 110 pts

3x lascannon

Troops

Infantry squad 240 pts

- Comand squad (60 pts)

Junior Officer

4 men 1w/ Heavy Bolter 1w/ plasma gun

- 2x Squad w/ plasma gun and w/ heavy bolter (80 pts ea)

Infantry Squad 240 pts

- Comand squad (60 pts)

Junior Officer

4 men 1w/ Heavy Bolter 1w/ plasma gun

- 2x Squad w/ plasma gun and w/ heavy bolter (80 pts ea)

Elites

3x Vet Squad 136 + 93 pts ea

sarge w/ power fist and bolt pistol

9 men, 3 w/ melta guns 6 w/ shotguns

Chimera Transport

heavy flamer turret, and heavy flamer hull rough terain mod + smoke

Fast Attack

3x Rough Rider squad 66 pts ea

6 riders with lances

Heavy Support

3x Bassalisk 125 pts ea

Indirect fire upgrade

Total : 1911 pts

To save points I coud :

change infantry platoons, to storm trooper squads

Go down to 2 bassies and/or 2 vet squads and/or 2 rough rider squads

Drop anti tank squad (I just put it in to see if any one would argue for it)

Lighten the special weapon / heavy weapon load

What should I do?

Much help needed? I'll say. We don't even know what a lasgun is over in this end of the forum. Try the 40k army lists...
