I know Guard aren't top tier, but how will this hold up? I don't expect to play cheesy cheese, but semi-competitive games at most. Will this work?

It should work, but I'm a little dubious about Pask's equipment and that of his wingman. A Punisher cannon fits well with hull and sponson heavy bolters, to chew up hordes. His wingman could probably be a Vanquisher with lascannon, to take advantage of split fire. (The Demolisher isn't bad, but will have to be close, will draw a lot of fire, and will have to snap-fire its lascannon)

Rending Punisher Gatling can work double-duty on hitting armor, so I tried to compliment it that way. It also means he isn't single-task.
I wasn't sure which wingman to go with, really, so I went with the big blast. I used to do Plascutioners, but without PE re-rolls, no thanks. I could go cheap and go for an Exterminator with a Las?

Those infantry need transports. Automatically Appended Next Post: And consider some vox casters to give the Emperor's Wrath twin-linked.

The infantry blob up with the Priest and there is a Vox-caster in there.

You also need a vox caster in the command squad that's issuing the order. The on vox caster in the blob is useless unless the command squad also has one.

Just swap to two Meltaguns on the Cmd Squad and toss in a Vox and with the points left stick a Dozer on their Chimera or one of the Russ tanks, I suppose.

Isn't a demolisher cannon Ordnance meaning that the lascannon can only ever snap fire?

Yes, but I figured it would give it a good backup weapon. Shrug. I am not 100% dead set on that Demolisher. I have just about every variant, but that one seemed decent for wiping out TEQ and heavy armor.

The Ministorum Priest is a decent choice, but is he attached to a squad?
