The people around here still play 1500 quite a bit, what do you think?

So lack of comments means no room for improvement?

Ok a few:

Flamer on the Lascannon squads...what's the point? Take a GL instead.

EA on a Chimera? Put a heavy stubber on instead.

LRD with hull lascannon and PC sponsons is very pricey, and can be effective...but since it's going to get shot at alot and die, might as well save the points and get another sentinel.

Sentinels when shot at die. ACC is not needed, just adding points for little gain.

I don't favor close order drill myself, but if you're going to do it...bring more men!

Why a senior officer? Junior costs less, will do just as well. Reason, you have few squads and chem inhalers are a better way to keep your squads around once they get shot up.

Ok here is my thoughts

HQ,,,have them with 4 flamers,,counter assualt unit and a go get them squad against troops that like to hide in cover.

Troops,,,Do the same for the commad squad as you did for the HQ squad. For your squads remove the flamer and add a plasme gun.

Heavy Support,,,have both Leman Russ with HB sponsor,,the cheapest HB in the game. Remember to fire those plasma and lascannon from the Demolisher you have to stay still,,,if you move you can only fire one weapon,,so you might be better of with just HBs.

One more thing,,ALL VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE SMOKE LAUNCHERS AND EXTRA ARMOUR!!
