Does no replies mean a good list? Or a terrible list beyond repair?

**Helvost**

I don't play guard or anything, but I know you need to have atleast 1 troop from an allied force. Unless the inquisitor supplement says something else

Yeah C:Inq is different from normal allies.

**Talore**

Seems reasonably competent. Do you have any squads in the Vendettas? What are you doing with your Inquisitors? Also with the 2 points left over you could get a bolter for your company commander or something.

The Malleus Inq is mainly for fun, but has stubborn for attachment to a squad if need be, and will be fairly strong in combat.
The Xeno is a psyker for divination and also has the stubborn rule.
Yeah I will find something for those last two points, I didn't even think of a bolter or something.
Also do you suggest I put anyone in the Vendettas? I don't fully understand the benefit of doing so. Maybe the CCS?

**Talore**

Squads in Vendettas is half the point of taking the flyers, so you can drop out and take objectives on the other half of the board in the late-game. PCSs can be good candidates for this, especially when you load them up on things like flamers to clear objectives with. SWSs with flamers can also do this if you need more officers with your blobs for orders. Seeing as how you only have two blobs, your CCS would theoretically be able to fill that need.

If you plan on putting the Inquisitors in blobs, then those blobs really don't want a commissar as he gets pretty redundant.

**Rippy**

Yeah that makes sense.
I will look at removing the commissars, and putting the PCS in the Vendettas, so they can drop in with their flamers, maybe drop the Malleus Inq in as well, so he can hammer smash

The one thing is (I know it's a massive gimp) the commissar models from forgeworld (I am using DKoK models) are just so nice and shiny.

**karlosovic**

If you take the Vendettas in a squadron, they have to move together and both fire at the same target. It's also worth considering that on each aircraft.. all weapons have to fire at the same target too... I don't personally feel heavy bolters are a good match with all the twin-linked lascannons a Vendetta comes with when they have to fire at the same target.

**tankboy145**

I would unsquadron one of the russ squads. You have 3 slots for heavy support and really should use each slot up before you start to squadron your tanks. This allows your tanks to move separately and fire at different targets.

Also if you have an inquisitor being attached to the blobs I would drop the commissars. I dont really see a point in taking them if the inquisitor already grants stubborn and is a much better character.

Also as others have mentioned I would put the PCS's in the fliers. It really helps to have a unit that can go out and possibly capture objectives late in the game.

I would also think about putting the rad grenades or whichever ones will help your guardsmen in combat because as you are going to be limited to 2 blobs and 2 PCS's for troops I feel like your opponent will get in combat with a blob at some point and you dont have any power axes on your sergeants.

Also if possible in any way I would suggest a possible lascannon for the vanquishers.

Okay thanks guys. I am going to do a bit of tweaking.
