27 Twin-Linked Lascannons, 24 Meltas and some H Bolters.

Any C&Cs? Just thought it would be a fun idea, but do you think it will work?

I would say ditch alllllllllll those meltas and get flamers. You don't exactly need more anti tank when you already have 27 TL lascannons(You should pretty much destroy 3 tanks per turn).
Gives you points for Marbo, or you throw in a platoon of guardsmen? IDK

True that 27 lascannons is enough, with those leftover points get Marbo or a tank

No IG army is complete without a tank

Holy gak!

I do not think all the autocannons my csm can field may even save me.

3 termi squad with reaper ac-115=345

3 havocs squads with 4 ac-115x3=345

3 heldrake with hades ac-510 (prone to vendetta)

ADL+quad gun-100

34 ac shots cuz the 12 from 3 drakes will die easy to your vendettas. Not all can even shoot or hit so it dont mean no thang. If I did dfoc maybe 6 havocs with a total of 24 ac may work but its only 1/6 to hit so maybe only 4 hits n it still needs 5 to glance so only 2.66 may glance. It just does not look good for me.

How are you moving your veterans? R they in the vendettas?

You need something to begin on the field, one lonely primaries psyker I'm afraid wont cut it. Maybe invest in a coms relay aswell?

Revised list - Made it 1750 instead, focusing on the core of it. It's possible to add up more random things, such as tanks etc.

Astropath can help bringing in the Vendettas and the Snipers make sure the command squad has something to do after that.
Keeping the Command Squad in the Chimera for extra protection in the early game.
Vendettas drop in and fire on the most armoured opponents, while the Veterans can target the less protected ones.

Hi Nerwind,

Unfortunately you can't deploy all your veterans in the Vendettas. You can only put half of your units in reserve without counting your flyers. So that would be 4 vets squads mounted and your CCS and 2 vets squads on the fields.

As for the upgrades of your vets, carapace armour are not worth it.
Same for the power fist. If you really think you need a cc weapon you will be better of with a power axe.
Flamers are good but you are not using the vets BS4, you can still take some but take plasma guns in great numbers.
If you are taking 6 Vendettas, take them by squad of 2 and not of 3.

You will be better of with a platoon behind an ADL (with comm's) to survice turn one and mount vets, PCS or SWT in vendettas.

I don't know if the Grenadier upgrades will be worth it unless it is for the theme. So much AP4 and all those points for guardsmen.

Heavy bolter sponsons are for when you run out of tanks? Understandeable, but those points could go into more troops to support the command squad.

Taking out carapace, powerfist, and sponsons can get you points for about a platoon or about 2 vet squads , much needed support for the command.

Though you may not need the support, so up to you.

HB's sponsons are great on Vendetta or the reason you mentioned, 2 HB for 10pts, yes please.
Unfortunatly he can't take a platoon or vets since he maxed out his troop choices.
